Now while some people thing that communism would fail after a certain point... what if... you reformed it into a more socialistic society?
In theory communism is best, we all know that. But in real life a less stringent form of goverment like socialism would be far better as we know not everyone will work equally like machines. Although socialism is similar, in many ways it is also different. It prevents the oppresive dictators from forming and more rights to the people. I believe that capitalism is about as sad as it gets. The Soviet Union would of lasted much longer had they increase consumer goods and decrease military might. See the way to a great nation is not through death and war. It is through creating a country that is so great, safe, and powerful. That people from other places would say.
Hey, would i want to fight them, they've done no harm. In fact i would rather go and fight for them than here.
It is sort of a unique form of socialism, keeping the basics, but working on the details, show others that you are strong, happy, and proud of your country. That if it came down to it. Would you give your life to go fight for your motherland? You, by your own mind, would immediately say Yes.
And to one day, have peace, by achieveing a global socialistic state. It have a end to wars, to focus on reserch in space, and work on technology for quicker food production, cheap and clean fuel sources.
To have the Reformed USSR on the globe and nothing else in my dream. For everyone to be equal and have a fair chance at life, if they want to be an astronaut, they will be. Not have some school deny him or her that dream because they can't afford the ridulose price of college.
For education and healthcare to be cheap or free. To help their neighbor in times of need. This is my dream, and i'm ready to make it happen.
[i]The Revolution is coming... The Question is... Are You Ready...?
That is all well and good, and all good points and I think with some work from world leaders the world could pull it off. But later though, not in the shape the world is in... especially with religions (I'm not going to rant I was just stating that with religions this dream will be very hard to achieve).
Perhaps when the world is more open minded and accepting this can happen, that is of course other countries want to co-operate. Nationalistic pride may take over and prevent countries from giving up their rights as a single country to become on great unified "USSR" Except the last letter would probably be an "E" for Earth I'm guessing?
Anyways, great idea but it's ahead of our time if you ask me.

I agree, religions would be very stubborb on this, unfortunetly the only way to deal with them is to have them accept the USSR(E) (The Earth part isn't a bad idea haha...) Or if they refuse, they gather them up put them on a island and say if your god(s) loves you, you will live and prosper. If he doesn't...You will die and return to the Earth
Of course this is only a possibility, there is always a chance to hammer out some sort of agreetment. The work would be hard comrade.
First of all, I stopped caring about people's political views on here. I am absolutely sick of these pro-communism threads.
The reason why communism does not work is because people are dishonest. Everyone has to provide the same amount of effort to live happy. When you give everyone the same amount of money, some people work less hard as others work like dogs. This has a devistating effect.

I'm pretty sure this is pro-socialist not pro-communist.

well I gotta say you pretty much hit that one on the nose o.O
Sorry, I read what you typed and I understood it was about socialism, but it startd sounding more like communism as I read on...
You can't have free/cheap healthcare without paying for it in some way. Who do you think pays for everything? The government has to stick to a budget too.
You can explain that socialism would work because of this and that, but when you get to the grit of the ordeal, government is government. Capitalism in the U.S. wouldn't be so bad if the government took more control over exports and imports while focusing less on drugs and health issues. Capitalism failed because of the greedy men and women who abuse their power for personal gain or lack of care.
You can support socialism all you want, but no one will take you seriously. Focus on the problems of Capitalism and how they can be fixed. If you can somehow gain followers, they will have converted to socialism without even knowing it! That's how you become a leader.

Although that is true, with control over the entire world taxes would give so much cash to the goverment they could give out free healthcare to anyone. Not to mention, think my friend. We would have the minds of every country together as one. We would advance in medical technology at a astronomical rate. We would soon enough barely have a need for hospitals and clinics.

Although that is part true, the fact is. In a capitalistic society people have and always will find a around these laws and systems. The goverment is smart but people are too. When one thinks a law is loop-hole free, theres really 20 on the front page... The goverment is doing a worse and worse job as the state of capitalism decays.
This is what capitalism really is, and it will never change...

When the hell was this proven? I seen this thrown out so many times but never seen any reason for it.
What if I made the the opposite of the statement.
When you give everyone the same amount of money, they all become happy and eager to help each other out, as they realize that the economy relies on all workers to function properly and helping each other helps themselves. I wrote like a whole article on the human nature argument, not sure where it is now though...

Capitalism has flaws in its very system. Government in a capitalist system is perhaps theoretically the only thing that plays a positive influence in the majority of workers, because of things such as welfare and public education. It has proven to be quite unstable though. For one, corporations have influence on government actions and can divert the government from helping society and instead adding war plans to its agenda.
But hell, there are the Laissez-faire capitalists who think no government would improve life under capitalism.

And Im guessing your unaware that we actually produce enough food in the world to feed the whole human population, while someone dies from hunger every 3.6 seconds.
There is much junk being produced for the sake of a profit. There are wars being wages for profit. And of course profit also has everyone be a wage slave.
Communism is a stateless and classless society. Seeing the term used any other way just reveals the effect of capitalist propaganda.
Socialism is a economical system not a political system like communism. It has nothing to do with capitalist propaganda. The fall of the Soviet Union reveals the effect of capitalist propaganda. The Red Scare I and II. McCarthyism, Vietnam, Domino Theory, Containment, Korea, Afganistan and many more things.
