How ever did communism survive the onslaught of globalisation and democratic beliefs in the 21th century? How can communism still exist after events like the Iron Curtain and the Cultural Revolution? I am not a capitalist, all I want to ask is how society seems so unaffected by these tragic, and sometimes even violent events. Please, share your opinions on this matter, it is much appreciated.
I think a more interesting question would be: How has the Red fear survived? Why is communism still perceived as evil in America, when it is no threat to American capitalism. America started the Vietnam War to 'free' the people from communism, by throwing bombs at them. Why hasn't this awful war taught us anything?
I find it more curious how the perception communism has changed in America. We've seen communist countries collapse, with little money an unhappy people. Yet for some reason communism is synonymous with cool (At least where I'm from). A huge amount of kids proudly declare themselves "red", with no true understanding of communism, and think it's the best thing since sliced bread.
That's really weird. I don't know where that comes from, but I agree with you, they must have no idea what communism really is.
That would be North West America. What I find appalling is that even incredibly smart kids are following this trend, when it takes little research to discover the flaws in communism.

It left me very confused...

Communism is a social system in which all property, including farms, factories, and other productive establishments are owned by the government, as well as the market.
I also understand that it has never worked.
I think you have no idea what communism is, to support it so blindly.
