How much more different do You think the country would be if We turned into a communist country? What do You think would be the benifits MedMan?
Wouldn't the gov't and big corporations have complete control of the economy? Not like its much different now though.
They are talking about nationalizing the banks on TV.
Communism.
~PEACE~
You speak about 'communism' as if you actually read Marx's works.
I guarantee you have not read them, though, because Communism in its inherent form is not a bad ideal, however there is more weakness in it due to human greed. Where in a 'democracy' you have a chance to vote out the greedy ones, in Communism once the greedy ones get into power (see Kim Jong Il) then it becomes near-impossible to unseat without violence.
Communism is in a working form in the United States right now, in the form of natural living 'sanctuaries' scattered around in places. I've seen it first hand, it works with hardly any problem. And guess what? There's no racial, religious, gender identity, or even political barriers. Everyone there is more free in their sanctuaries than you or I out here on the streets.
I'm guessing you only know of McCarthy-era 'Communism' and not the more advanced and civilized idealistic communism of others who have tried the system and found it to work at certain scales and adapted and changed it to work at others.
