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

Communism is the communal ownership of all commodities. A commodity is anything that can be traded, bartered, bought, or sold. That would include your labor. That's slavery.

Communism is not "helping out the community."

@Sicarium "a theory or system of social organization in which all property is owned by the community and each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs."

@Loopysoutherner What in there exactly do you think contradicts what I typed or equals just "helping out the community"?

@Loopysoutherner What you copy-pasted is just a reworded version of what I typed.

You clearly have no idea what communism is, so why push a dishonest version of the meaning instead of learning?

@Sicarium because that's what it's meant to be at its core. The reason it's changed is because we as people by our nature are selfish creatures who are about me me me and what can I do to make my life better.

@Sicarium we always more take take take rather than give and helping the less fortunate

@Loopysoutherner Communism at its core isn't about helping the community, it's about managing the community, controlling it. Those are not the same thing.

If you doubt this, look at any nation that attempted communism in any form during the entirety of the 20th century.

Smh. People argue in favor of mass murder and slavery without having any clue what they're talking about.

@Sicarium thinks aren't as black and white. What your talking about is certain infamous figures version of communism. That's same as saying Muslim is evil or northern Ireland is evil because of the ira
