People say that Communism doesn't Work..

[nanook12]

Then there is China a self proclaimed communist society that is the second largest economy in the world (and on track to over take the US) with one of the longest histories and largest populations. What more evidence do you need that communism works? If you want to make the argument that China has some capitalistic components making it not full communist, then you also have to accept that the US has some socialist/communist components as well.https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...57289d124c.png

China is totalitarian. Communism doesn't work because it goes to shit really quickly as people readily take advantage of it.

TBF, Capitalism doesn't work for the same reason. Generally speaking, humans are going to cock up any socio-economic system you try to implement.

Enlighten me. Please.

[Volardelis]

Communism and capitalism both work in theory. Just human nature and greed take advantage of it.

[Chrysia]

Enlighten me. Please.

Subsidies are anti-capitalist in nature. Not sure I'd say communist, but kinda.

[Knaar]

It's only a matter of time before the capitalism system break apart. Might be "soon" might be later, but it will come for sure. Like everything else in the past.

Proclaiming something doesn't mean it's true. Communism is stateless. China is a nation state.

[Super Kami Dende]

China is not proper Communism, since much of their businesses still run on a Capitalist stance.

Communism works only in theory because people disregard things like Human greed and desire. Thus it is doomed to fail. Much like Socialism.

[Bigbazz]

China is capitalist nation pretending to still be communist while repairing a country wrecked by that (communist) ideology. So no communism doesn't work. You should watch Serpentza or AdvChina.

[Kokolums]

China's system works well if you dislike freedom and want the vast majority of people living in abject poverty far below the standards of free nations. It is DEFINITELY possible for the world superpower to be run by a dictator that crushes its people under his boot. That system "works". But does it work best for the people? No.

Communism disregards human sloth. Capitalism disregards human greed.

[Deldavala]

China is a communist country in name only. They are more capitalistic than a lot of european countries like my own.

This is Detroit.

[Nurvus]

There is no communist country.
So it's yet to be seen if it works.

Meanwhile the USA has the highest gap between rich and poor out of all the developed nations. So much better.

[Ghostpanther]

This is Detroit.

Which is the result of decades of piss poor trade deals the US has done. That is going to change. Communism sucks is about the best way I can put it.

Those who think it works well, are welcome to move to a communist nation if they like it that much.

[Teebone]

Nothing works. Human beings are utter shit and need to burn.

[larrakeyah]

Yeah, blacks happened there.
