Why is communism globally despised especially in the west? I'm in no way a communist or communist sympathizer but what is it about this ideology that makes it seem like an untimate evil in most people's eyes? I understand why the soviet union was despised because of their imperialistic ambition to turn every nation communist through coups but lets focus on the ideology here rather than the soviet union because as far as i understand it communism just wants a classless society that operates without money and workers control industry; now, what exactly is evil or horrible about that?
Serious question; why is communism hated?
because it says the truth
read "Gulag archipelago" it's actually a required book to read in russia
Because communist policies create widespread material adversity. It makes people's lives worse. Then those people whose lives were made worse resist communism because communism is making everything go to shit. Then the communists try to purge the resisters because surely the workers' paradise would've manifested if not for those people who resisted the implementation of communism.
You still didn't explain how or why it leads to disaster
The road to hell is paved with good intentions
it's a nutty philosophy that pretends man is not self interested, it is an absurd pipe dream in which man works without benefit to the self, but for the community, people just don't work that way, people need incentive to work, in 100% of previous attempts of communism, one guy gets power and abuses it... ALWAYS.
why are some of the richest capitalists in the world pushing so hard for communism?
Because it doesn't allow (((company owners))) to profit.
This include media companies, movie makers, and universities in the US.
Because people in this physical realm like to own and do unique things.
We are NOT a drone hivemind. Despite your memes.
They ... aren't ?
It was a Jewish operation

Strong centralized command economy means centralized power that very consistently goes oppressive totalitarian.

Why are murderers hated? See how simple that was?

>Everybody I don't like is a killer
Most commies, like most Americans were honest hard working citizens: youtube.com
Because it ultimately leads to misery and widespread death
Every time
Communism is socialism under kike management. They get all the power and privilege, everyone else starves to death.
Only Americans hate communism, really makes me think.
How many times do we have to go over this?
>let's throw off the ruling class and seize the means of production
>now that we've got control of production, we need to figure out how to fairly distribute goods amongst society
>we'll create a group of people to choose how goods are shared and resources are allocated
>oh shit we've created a new ruling class who are trying to consolidate their power and aren't sharing/allocating goods how we thought they would
>repeat ad infinitum
Marx was a clown
>commies are working (((citizens)))
HAHAHAHHAAHHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you really consider living in their parents basements and living off of welfare and foodstamps working!? oh my you must possibly be one of the most retarded fuckers on the planet. SLOPPY JOB MOSSAD. You just had to fuck it up professor Bergstein. kek
>only americans hate communism
damn you have to be the dumbest kike on the planet to think that.
Yes user, regular Russian, DDR, Polish, Albanian, Chinese citizens during soviet era were honest workers.
Nice pic, but could you show me you're not an american?
>why is communism hated?
People like food.
>ADF pictured four times
top zozzle
Because I don't have a choice in the matter if Communists were in power. On the other hand commies are free to form their smelly little communes whenever they want
Over 100 million people have died because of it
No i'm pretty sure corpses can't work. they just rot. literally nothing else.
Show real flag you larping kike.
Fuck communism. Literally a cuckold system.
>I'm not a commie or a sympathizer guys
>but you know, it sounds pretty great
Fuck off.
le meme
I'd not say it, it's the only system where you don't have to give what you produce to some random guy because he own it.
youtube.com
>what is it about this ideology that makes it seem like an untimate evil in most people's eyes?
That's National Socialism
Because communism leads to the centralization of power quickly and that power is used against the greater good.
Individual sovereignty and decentralization of power is important for a fair and vibrant societies and communities.
Communism centralizes power and is essentially the borg .
Couse my parents lived through it and have the horrors fresh in their mind
You have to be ignorant, oblivious, or mentally challenged to not see why communism is so bad. I dont even want to ad hominem you, but its the truth.
Because it assumes people want to work.
If working 10% gets paid the same as 100% everyone then works 10% but apply it across EVERYTHING.
So the government tries to fix it maybe punish those not working hard enough. Eventually you end up sending horses of people to the gulag because they are totally worthless. Meanwhile you only solved the lack of motivation problem by making people work just hard enough to avoid gulag, because there is no class mobility unless nepotism comes into play.
Since there is no way to get anywhere it makes sense to take bribes to work faster for select people since you will actually get rewarded for working harder. And then before you know it you are China and Russia.
Undesirables are gulaged, no one is happy because they dont want to get sent to Siberia, and bribes and corruption are rampant. But hey at least it isnt crony capitalism right?
>it's the only system where you don't have to give what you produce to some random guy because he own it.
Communism rejects the idea of private property what fuck are you on about? Ph and communist countries still have taxes fwiw.
>just give control of all wealth to a handful of people and expect them to fairly distribute it, goy!
Wait my mistake. Only jews were allowed to eat in the soviet union. because if gentiles were, they and their entire christian family would be executed for antisemitism.
>Ph and communist countries still have taxes fwiw.
What I'm reading? Socialist countries don't have taxes, USSR government don't used money for it's internal working.
You forgot a couple of key things:
>>We've overthrown the elites and seized the means of production!
>>....Except for the wealth/property of the elites who managed to get the fuck of out of the country.
>>...And by seizing control over everything and overthrown the government, the entire country is in chaos and starving!
>>...And the police and most of the military have formed a resistance to restore the elites to power!
>>...And the masses, most of which are now in poverty because we blew up the economy and starving to death, are supporting the resistance against use communists if they are not also fleeing the country by the thousands because they actually don't fucking WANT us communists running things! Especially after we had to destroy their lives/starve them to death to save them from the horrors of stability under capitalism!
>>We got to form murder squads and initiate a reign of terror and bloodshed to put the fear into the ignorant masses to make them LOVE COMMUNISM! And we'll arrest and torture and kill anyone associated with the resistance and just straight up MURDER the pigs who won't do our bidding! And close our borders so NO ONE, NO ONE can leave so they have NO CHOICE but to live in our poverty stricken hellscap.... I mean glorious communist utopia! To the extent that we will LIE about the starvation, plagues, economic death spiral to the public so that those who managed to escape are branded liars and we can get foreign aid so that the party leadership can live like kings while the rest of the population starve to death for being ungrateful bastards in regards to how we "saved them" from capitalism!
>Only jews were allowed to eat in the soviet union.
Do you want me to take you serious?
Just call those people shareholders and investors and it's freedom.
Literally anyone can be a shareholder by throwing some cash down. You can't buy your way into the ruling class in communism, you're just fucked.
> kills 100 million people tearing down well established institutions “trying to make things better”
> Make the State become God violently stomping out any other religion in the process
> “why don’t people like us”
> kys
Fuck communism. 100% leads to genocide.
Literally anyone can be a party leader by being elected, it's easier than making a few billions by yourself.
You cannot make a cake without breaking some eggs.
Capitalism, for all its flaws, does one thing extremely well, it harnesses people's overwhelming self-interest and turns it into productivity and advancement. If left to its own devices, it's much like an economic theory of evolution where ideas are tried, refined, or discarded depending on how competitive they are. And you are free to thrive or fail based on your own abilities.
Communism flies in the face of all this. It says, 'we know what's better for you than you do.' It removes personal initiative. Why work hard only to receive the same reward as everyone else who likely aren't? So do the minimum to get by.
Self-interest is instinctual. Yes, you can maybe point out a few tribes and maybe even a small remote village or two where some sort of socialist structure has been successfully implemented, but these are all micro examples. It simply cannot be scaled to the size of modern nation states. The interest of rural farmers differs so much from that of urban factory workers. Policy-makers may have never even *seen* a farm, let alone know what it takes to run one efficiently. Yet they will be the ones making these decisions. I won't even get in to the corruption and favoritism that very much creates a ruling-class every bit as exploitative as any Capitalist system.
Until there is a massive leap forward in technology akin to Roddenberry's replicator (cheap energy-to-matter conversion), human self-interest is here to stay. One system is essentially founded on that fact. The other hopes to break you of it, or make you die trying.
Yeah I bet you’re thinking real hard because America is the most powerful in dominant country in the history of the world. You fucking retard.
Because its just bullshit to try to justify stealing
>communism
>elections
I don't care if you flag stand high, I only care if your workers (not liberal snowflakes) stand low.
Biased corrupt elections are still elections, a regular soviet Joe had the same chances to become a polician a regular american Joe have.
Commune-ism
Elections for party leader?? Holy shit you're retarded.
It's ok everyone. This poster is literally retarded.
>Elections for party leader?? Holy shit you're retarded.
You know how the soviet political system worked? How there was elections for minor party positions and they you'd have to climb the ladder?
You write like a chink you fucking insect. Respect the sovereignty of Hong Kong you faggot. I hope you get in trouble for your poor English. You almost had a successful slide thread, almost.
You're equivocating buying shares in a corporation under capitalism is as easy as being a communist party leader...
We need to redistribute your extra chromosomes... you're the 1% with extra ones.
1 - Because it doesn't work, every time it has been tried it has led to endless bloodshed, from south america to russia, from the middle east to africa. It actively makes people's lives worse, and you need to be dumb in many fields at the same time to think that would work: Economy, sociology, psychology, you need to be stupid in all of those to think this shit would work.
2 - Because the dumb idiots who push for this are psychopath retards, who see no problem in sacrificing millions for the sake of pipe dreams.
3 - Because unlike other retarded systems, there is a lot of people who thinks this would be a great idea. It is a close threat, unlike nazism, facism, or full anarcho capitalism.
Don't you care for your countryman? Don't you think it's sad they cannot buy houses and have families anymore?
Becoming a party member is far easier than accumulating some million dollars.
Was PT government really that bad?
It forces everybody to work.
Moving the goal posts now. Went from party leader to party member.
Why would they hold elections for being a party member you giant retard?
>Capitalism, for all its flaws, does one thing extremely well, it harnesses people's overwhelming self-interest and turns it into productivity and advancement.
lol. That was Christianity. Which the Supreme Court destroyed.
>Just call those people shareholders and investors and it's freedom.
Do you seriously not understand the difference between investing and taking people's shit by force?
>Because the dumb idiots who push for this are psychopath retards, who see no problem in sacrificing millions for the sake of pipe dreams.
This. See example >You cannot make a cake without breaking some eggs.
Communism is this mindset applied at an institutional level.
>party leader = billionaire
>party member = millionaire
>Why would they hold elections for being a party member you giant retard?
Because that was how USSR worked, even some shit nations have elections for some positions.
Taking others work is wrong, no matter if you paid for it.
What is a tax model?
>you have a land, you work on the land, you sell the products and you get money from it
>you give a parcel of that money you received to the state
How it worked on socialist countries:
>you have no land, it belongs to the "people", (only an oxymoron to belongs to the state) you work on the land, you give ALL your products to the state
>they give you some back after
Everytime you come up with some wild imagination process trying to explain a concept, stop, take a breath, and try to apply it to real life. Then you will see how absurdly oppressive your system is.
True retardation
Money is USSR was just used to acquire consume goods. All production was managed by the state, they don't give money to a steelmill so they can buy minerals, instead they send an order to the mine.
Considered one of the greatest discoveries of all time and neither capitalism nor communism had anything to do with it.
>Was PT government really that bad?
Quick answer, yes, it was very bad.
But PT being left leaning doesn't make the country a socialist place when ruled by them. Brazil is a republic with a strong constitution, even bigger than USA one, so they worked on the constrictions and limitations of our constitution. It was bad because they are retarded in regards to economy, just like all left wing parties, and with retarded decision after retarded decision, they ruined the economy. Does having a left leaning governor makes california communist? No, because they are still bound to the federal power and constitutional power.
Why even ask that shit? We are talking about communism, not political parties. Keep to the point instead of sliding shit up, you sly bastard.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Communism is supported by people who want to do good and generally like to believe the outcome they want is attainable. Sadly, despite the outcome they want being something that would generally be considered good, the way to get there is impossible, and what commies believe they have to do to get there ends up destroying countries.
You dont understand communism and you sure as shit don't understand capitalism.
You're still sticking by your assertion that buying a share in a company is as hard as getting elected party leader, sorry elected party member...
The USA has almost 15 MILLION people that are millionaires living in it. Tell me again how hard it is to be a millionaire when 10% of US households have a net worth of $1million+
Maybe take some time out of your shit posting life and consider how colossally retarded you are.
>All production was managed by the state
I thought the workers were supposed to control production in communism. What's the point of "seizing the means of production" if you're just going to hand control of it over to someone else afterwards?
Are you high, or willfully pretending to be stupid? Pay attention to the central point, I'm saying is that their model is WAY, WAY worse than paying taxes.
Because I don't want to give up my property to faggots like you.
"Belonging to the people" is just an oxymoron to "belonging to the state and the people who run it".
The sly bastard will obviously evade that topic.
>Quick answer, yes, it was very bad.
This makes me happy, I've heard they were good, but it was said by the same kind of progressive faggot that support Canada.
>I thought the workers were supposed to control production in communism
Yes, USSR was socialism, a prior stage where the state control production.
I personally prefer it, but it has it's problems.
I own a lathe, and I'm not turning it over to you faggot.
I'm also not giving you my hand tools that you'd consider "means of production"
my 3D printer is also a means of production, you probably want me to give that over to state control as well, I'd imagine.
>I own a lathe, and I'm not turning it over to you faggot.
You don't need, only means of productions (like factories or farms) need to be socialized.
I own farm land, you'd steal my land. and you'd steal my garage where I have machines of production. so fuck you.
communism is like the shittiest parts of public school....24/7/365...forever and ever
It requires those massive deathcounts to function. How many resources are you going to dedicate toward "reeducating" people who don't go along with the plan before you just eliminate them? People who don't go along with the communistic plan are either a drag on the system/actively working against it by even simply questioning the system, or a slave/dead. Everything about it is shit but I'd argue the massive propaganda police system is the worst since it brainwashes the masses into thinking the 'necessary' atrocities are justified/moral if not just hidden from them completely.
You don't even know what a lathe is you blithering moron.
The only thief are those that control means of production and live like parasites, without working.
Being honest I don't, could you tell me what it is?
See "Venezuela," dumbass.
Because you have to institute it with force. Then suppress all voices that oppose it bc it is such a terrible idea.
It is evil because it tries to legitimize theft, and usually results in millions of dead or starving because of authoritarian socialist regimes.
youtu.be
You mean like the politicians that would run the system? You do understand it takes work to start and run a business, right?
>ree people that don't work
>hurr durr waht's a lathe
user if you'd stepped foot in a factory you'd know what a lathe is.
Because we're still around while our neighboring communist states aren't.
Dude doesn't know what a lathe is but wants to talk about factories and meat s of priduction.
You are why Communism is perpetuated by fucking idiotic failures that cant cut it in normal society.
Communists are capitalist incels. Cancels if you like.
It's a funking mess, as bad as capitalist Somalia.
Someone has to manage resources, the problem is that capitalism give too much to these people (investors)
English is not my main language and I'm don't work on industry, I work on farm...
>USSR was socialism, a prior stage
You make it sound like there is a stage that comes after that. "Communism" is a utopian pipe-dream used to con the people into accepting the real end-goal, Socialism. Anybody who has a desire to implement "communism" is really after the socialism part that comes "before" it. After all, that's the stage when the rich are eaten.
He's just so photogenic, especially more recent pictures of him.
>Dude doesn't know what a lathe is but wants to talk about factories and meat s of priduction.
Yes user, I don't every single English industrial term. Could you please tell me what a lathe is?
Well managed socialism is good enough, communism would be an extra.
People will always find something to "capitalize" on. It creates a plethora of black markets. Where once, under capitalism, you might have struggled to find an illicit drug, under communism, that same challenge will apply to a good cut of beef. The "manager" will be just as ruthless and unscrupulous as your drug dealer.
But fear not user. You already live under very similar conditions. It's communism by the back door. This time, not a worker's party revolution, but a drug dealer's revolution. Just look at the average Communist and tell me that aint so.
Sad irony that they are the literal parasites they claim to want to eliminate.
