F communism.
Nothing has killed more people than the ideal of comunism.
If you disagree, you are either a liar or you never read a history book.

While I don't consider myself a communist, I do agree with it. There are many, many beneficial things to it, such as no poverty. It would need a good, honest government to work, though, which is why most communist countries fail. I do, however, see that many of said communist countries failed due to bad/corrupt leadership, leading to the countries' downfall. I do see the flaws, such as a basically non-existent economy, leading to some unhappy people.
my ideology is that in theory communism is good, but in practice it will almost always fail. This is the reason I find socialism better. I feel it is almost the perfect in-between of capitalism (free market) and communism (no one left behind) and while there are downsides, I feel it is exceedingly better than capitalism and communism.
so, in conclusion, I respectfully both disagree and agree with you. (Note: I am currently studying economics and I have really enjoyed it!)

@LordShadowfire that is what communism becomes because humans are not hive minded insects. You can't avoid it failing especially like in Russia or china where it was put in place at bayonet point.
Capitalism degrades into faceless corporations that screw over individuals, but atleast had some sort of nod to individualism early on.
comunism is always stillborn so its fans become more and more repressive to try breathe life into a fairytale.

Wrong. That is what communism becomes because there's always a corrupt POS who sneaks in and subverts it. Communism in the USSR wasn't a stillborn; it was an abortion.

You are correct. Stalin was a monster. Pol Pot was a monster. Mao was a monster. The United States is, at the present time, under threat from a Marxist element which attempts to undermine us from within our universities and public schools.
The problem with that is that our own CHILDREN are being brainwashed in an attempt to use them against our government and our way of life.

No, war was definitely the institution that killed the most.
Call it something else, then, not community. We still need peace and prosperity. We know! Americans said "no" and war eternal until you are all there is was the only future ever! No left, no exit - just finality and conservatives loving it!

I've read plenty of history books, How could an ideology that's never been implemented kill anyone? OH you think it has? So you actually believe The USSR was Communist? Oh you sweet summer child, how naive.

@PDXNative1986 so your system fails because everyone else fears it and sabotages it. Its never because it fails to admit human nature is not compatible.
PDXNative1986 · 36-40, MVIP
@Arnoldjrmmer Pfft. Human nature? What studies do you have showing your Idea that humans are naturally greedy anyways? Where's the science? It's an assumption and we both know it. We are not Tabala Rasa's but Of the entire animal kingdom we are he closest to being a pure one, and it is WHY we are the apex predator.

Stalin MURDERED almost 200 MILLION of his own people. Hitler's holocaust was peanuts compared to that.

More than the entire population of the USSR by about 20 million.
Yeah. Seems legit.
