Communism actually has a pretty good idea at its heart, it just doesn't work if there's even the most rudimentary form of economy present...so unless you own a small island with less than 100 people on it and no money to be seen, the whole thing hits the fan.

I'd have to disagree there, Communism is a horrible form of goverment. Its whats inbetween Communism and Capitalism thats the gooey tasty center.. mmm.... gooey.....

How many Arab countries were upset about 911 or the Anthrax? NONE! So why should we care that they don't want us to go to war with Iraq?

Actually the leaders of many Arab countries sent their condolences.

Even PLO leader Yassir Arafat sent his condolences.

Being Arab does not equate to enjoying the death of innocents.

and more importantly they want to appear to be on our good side...

Actually Communism is basedon Marx's idea for a Utopia. And we all know that there is no such thing as a Utopia.

Basicly, everyone is judged based on what they do and how important that job is. Your statis is based on how important you are to the community as a whole. Not a bad idea.

Untill you get power hungry leaders.
Untill you have to decide which role is more important.
Untill you put large numbers of real humans into the mix.
That is when it all falls apart.

As for this quote
"But as history has shown the french a spineless snakes..."
Depends on how far back in history you want to go back. They held off the Germans in WWI. In WWII they were just stomped. They went to Vietnam before we did. And lets not forget Nepolean, He tried to take over europe, and his country suffered because of that. It hasn't been a superpower since.

Bottom line is this.... the UN has done a fine job of making them as irrelevant as the league of nations which dissolved BTW b/c it was useless.

Useless because many of the countries don't want to do what America wants? You do know that is one of the reasons most of the world hates us right? Most of the world believes that we are practicing colonialism.
Invading Iraq, while morally correct (more or less) only renforces this idea.

Oh, andthis isn't a war on terrorism. Terrorists are not a soverign nation, and they are not trying to create one. They are criminals, nothing more. The most evil and hardest to catch of all of the crimanals. But still criminals.
Try to keep that in mind.

The thing that makes Communism better than capitolism is that it will fall apart when the power hungry leaders come into the scene, but with capitolism the system stays intact, and gradually starts screwing over the population and no one notices.

OneManArmy · 2003-03-06, 06:27 PM

but, you are also forgetting the lazy asses who wont do anything because they get paid no matter what. for ex.

jim works in a shoe factory, He gets 20 bucks a day if he makes 10 shoes or 50 shoes, it doesn't matter if the shoes are even wearable, he still gets 20 bucks a day. So he stops caring about quality, and so forth and so on.

capitalism breed quality, because everyone wants to make money, and in order to make money you have to have the better product. In communism its basically all goverment controlled with no competition.

Headrattle · 2003-03-06, 06:30 PM

That is true Army. And that is how it was in was Russia. It was a matter of pride, but that dropped off rather early.

once again, damn humans screw everything up.

Derfud · 2003-03-06, 08:47 PM

Yes i know Army....

Stupid Humans....

Bighoss · 2003-03-06, 10:44 PM

communism looks like a good idea on paper but it doesn't work out because no one counts on human error... luckily I don't make any
