  • Yes I agree also. Communism when viewed from a theoretical perspective is in fact a very good system provided it is applied and practiced as per the theory. The problem is, as per most governments, that those who get to manage it becomes greedy and corrupt. 

    I also just want to say. If people believe we are a democracy (South Africa) they are sadly mistaken. We are pretty much a Socialist Democracy. i.e they  allow you to make a cross to make you believe that you voted for the president. It is all a farce for reasons that would take too long to go into detail here. In fact, much like communism, true democracy (as per the theory) does not exist anywhere on this planet.

  • I agree, Peter.  It is the corruption that makes anything that starts out as good, bad.

  • If communism is defined as "everything is owned by all the people" then it has merit, however in practice (or the way it has been in practice) it is "everything is owned by the State" - which is just another form of control and IMO so wrong!

  • In theory, communism has some good ideas, but it (like everything else in the world) is subject to corruption and the guys at the top take over and rule everyone else.

  • not surprised about Obama and Castro, they still believe communism can work...

    btw so did Mandela...

    proof that even good well intended men (Mandela) can still be seduced by the communist/socialist utopian siren call...IMO

    yep

  • His lack of decorum is shameful.  But hey, he's POTUS and he can do anything.

  • This entire spectacle leaves me sick to the stomach....
