I find it a little ironic that people seem to hate communism and get in this current situation we all find ourselves in we are all now about helping

Each other and supporting our communities which are very communist values

No , they are not. Communism is about the government controlling everything
Business , culture, education etc
If you went to college get a refund because they screwed you
If not then learn what communism is all about

@Driver2 that's just not true, people have bastardized communism to be evil because its polar opposite to capitalism which is what America is all about
Driver2 · M
@Loopysoutherner sorry I am a smart ass but just look at history see what happens when communism takes hold please just look into it
Ryannnnnn · 31-35, M
@Driver2 Yup. Its just hyper-centralisation of government and more authority/less ownership and freedom for actual people.
Loopysoutherner · 51-55, F
@Ryannnnnn even though its about expressing individualism and helping out our fellow man?
Ryannnnnn · 31-35, M
@Loopysoutherner That's not what its about at all. I don't know who's told you this.
Loopysoutherner · 51-55, F
@Ryannnnnn a little thing called the Internet. Who's told u that it's evil?
Ryannnnnn · 31-35, M
@Loopysoutherner You're very misinformed. There's a lot of crap on the internet and a lot of opinion. So when you say "the internet" its not good. History and reality tells us that it is. Its an attractive sounding ideal that always ends in terrible things and always has.
Loopysoutherner · 51-55, F
@Ryannnnnn OK then so why should I trust whoever told u that it's evil?
Ryannnnnn · 31-35, M
@Loopysoutherner Why should we trust history?. Because it tells you all you need to know if you read it.
Driver2 · M
@Loopysoutherner don’t trust me , look at the facts
Every time it was tried it failed
Loopysoutherner · 51-55, F
@Ryannnnnn again its been bastardized by infamous figures who changed it to fit their wierd sense of values. Terrorists do the same thing. Bet loads of Muslims will tell u that their religion isn't about killing other people it's about piece
itsoeasy · 56-60, M
@Loopysoutherner your right, it slike the IRA who killed in the name of catholicism, they just wanted power really
Ryannnnnn · 31-35, M
@Loopysoutherner Whatever you say. History doesn't lie and neither do the terrible things that continue to happen wherever its implemented.
Loopysoutherner · 51-55, F
@Ryannnnnn so do you think all Muslims are terrorists because a lot of the people who commit such attacks claim to believe in that religion? They change the core of their religion to try justify the actions they commit. Same with people like stalin
Ryannnnnn · 31-35, M
@Loopysoutherner Its not comparable. Its an ideology that sounds great but is inherently flawed and doesn't work. Do some research into history and also in to the countries that follow it today. People don't want enforced collectivism and everyone suffers for it. Once again I don't know where you're getting this notion from.
Loopysoutherner · 51-55, F
@Ryannnnnn again from different sources on the Internet by people far more knowledgeable than me. Yes that's because we by our very nature's are selfish bastards
itsoeasy · 56-60, M
@Driver2 haah why are americans so afriad of communism, and yet you make friends with russia and china, id say trump is going otmake america communist
Loopysoutherner · 51-55, F
@itsoeasy he's empitamy of capitalism what you talking about? I live in a town that's left wing and we have a labour mp
Ryannnnnn · 31-35, M
@Loopysoutherner I'm done talking about it also. Seriously, do some hard research and avoid biased sources. Read history and don't get your information from people who actively believe in the ideology. You're saying its been bastardised, I don't know why. Everyone wants to leave communism behind because it doesn't work yet people keep saying "we'll get it right this time". How many more people need to die until we "get it right".

Anyway good luck with your research. It sounds like you're in denial.
Loopysoutherner · 51-55, F
@Ryannnnnn and yet you talk from a very one sided bias point of view who's only heard what his teacher or parents have told u
Loopysoutherner · 51-55, F
@Loopysoutherner we will live in a socialist society one day and I hope its in my lifetime
itsoeasy · 56-60, M
@Ryannnnnn its her opinion , is a free country, so what if oyu don tlike communism,
Ryannnnnn · 31-35, M
@Loopysoutherner History and reality is better than "the internet" as a source. Everybody else here has told you you're wrong about what communism is yet you keep saying its bastardised and ignoring them. I'd say thats more one sided when 90% of everyone else tells you you're wrong about the basic premise of what it is yet you're telling me and them that they don't understand and not only that but its been bastardised.
Loopysoutherner · 51-55, F
@Ryannnnnn so why should I take your word about it? How'd u learn about this? How do you know your source is reliable?
Ryannnnnn · 31-35, M
@Loopysoutherner Okay. If everybody else is telling you you're wrong, do you not think you need to question what you think you know?. Because history tells you in great detail through reading it and learning about it. You can even look at communist countries today and see how it is there. You can even watch journalists go to places like venezuala and you'll see the reality of it.

Whichever way you look at it recorded well known history is more reliable than some randoms on the internet. Which btw includes me, but I'm telling you to objectively read and learn.
