Communism is not the answer

Communism is not the answer, it's the cancer. For all of your talks of revolution I would wager that not one of you would survive a real (as in violent) revolution. Something I always wanted to ask a commie is " why do you think communism would work when it has so clearly failed else where?" What are you prepared to do to bring about "change", and why have you not done so yet? Needless to say when you clowns want to get rowdy I will bemore then wiling to play along.

I have decided to transfer this inane post here due to lack of other suitable threads. I doubt that you are a RevLeft troll.

This reveals a gross misunderstanding of communism, and you have failed entirely to provide a coherent argument in favor of capitalism, let alone have you justified the repugnant system. Genuine communism, as envisioned by most socialists, has never come close to fruition.

I notice that you have added quotations around the word "change," possibly implying that you believe Obama to be a certified socialist! You are clearly far beyond your depth.

I don't have the time to refute your silly post at the moment, and quite frankly, I do not know where to begin.

Christ (no pun intended), a religious reactionary.

Comrades, who are we kidding? It's about time we finally cut the bullshit. We're dealing with someone who clearly knows far more about communism than any of us could ever hope to. You see, Kcusseimmoc is a graduate of Beck University.


His BU courses have proven that communism is a demonstrable failure. Those of us who have bothered to study the economics of socialism have been wasting our time. The truth has been out there all along and learned individuals like Kcusseimmoc have certainly been exposed to it. There is no point berating someone like him for being far more informed than we are.

Now it's time to finally give in to freedom and join the Ron Paul revolution! Do what you can to fight communism (aka the Obama-Soros conspiracy) today!

Clever.. Did you come up with that one all on your own?

Rank speculation. Furthermore, in instances of modern warfare, it's entirely random who ends up surviving or perishing in battle.

While revolutions are invariably violent, it's doubtful that a socialist revolution in the global north would take on the character of, say, an armed insurrection. It's far more likely that general strikes, industrial sabotage, and workplace occupations (i.e., the syndicalist method) will be the means by which socialism is achieved.

Something I always wanted to ask a commie is " why do you think communism would work when it has so clearly failed else where?"

As others have already pointed out, communism—an economic system whereby individuals produce according to their abilities and consume according to their needs—has never existed. Neither Marx nor the 20th century revolutionaries held any illusions about communism being easily achievable. The standard communist hypothesis holds that capitalism will be transcended by a rather lengthy period of socialism, from which communism will eventually arise.

What you carelessly refer to as "communism" is actually what's known as state socialism—an economic system characterized by state ownership and management of the means of production and distribution. And, contrary to what you claim, state socialism didn't fail. In China and the USSR, for example, it was elements of the nomenklatura which essentially abolished the system; and they most certainly were not responding to public demand. More importantly, if you peruse the opinion poll data collected in former eastern bloc nations over the last decade or so, you'll find that large segments of those populations favor their former socialist regimes considerably more than the capitalist system they currently suffer under.

With that said, you'd be hard pressed to find a single socialist or communist advocating on behalf of state socialism today. Notwithstanding the harsh international climate the state socialist nations were forced to develop under, the formula which Marxist-Leninist regimes followed was far too repressive and alienating to represent a true manifestation of socialism. The very essence of socialist theory, worker control of the means of production and distribution, for instance, was abandoned in favor of a hierarchical technocracy.

Dictatorship, central planning, mistakes related to the National Question, and constant interference from bourgeois countries, are what caused the various problems state socialist nations endured.

What are you prepared to do to bring about "change"

Our lives are dedicated to the emancipation of the proletariat from the shackles of wage slavery. We will continue to educate the people and engage in various forms of activism until material conditions develop to the point wherein revolution is within the people's grasp. From there, systemic change will inevitably follow.

and why have you not done so yet?

Many of us are doing so. Stop presuming so much.

Needless to say when you clowns want to get rowdy I will bemore then wiling to play along.

Very well. "You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs," right?

I don't know about the rest of you, but this reactionary's stellar arguments have really caused me to reconsider my ideological commitments..

Granted, Communism in any Orphodox sense is a silly idea believable by only a certain number of middle class and ungrateful young Men whose Dads should of hit harder when they were growing up, plus a few socially detached intellectuals and a number of angry folks and sentimentalists. I spent my Teen years as a Red but I got to about 17 and then I grew out of it, and i've been looking for a better idea ever since.

Capitalism seems to be going down the shitpan at the mo, tho. So what's the next bright idea?

You should take a look at the ideas of Strasser.

You "grew" out of it meaning you had to appease your new capitalist college/club buddies, or you entered your family business? Hey, i can make wild assumptions too.

I would assume that he means his views changed overtime because eventually he began to realize that Communism wasn't an ideology which suited him.
I find it silly to even attempt to call someone out on that when find it to be nigh-impossible that people keep the same exact views through their life. I believe the reason for this very site was for people of different forms of left wing nationalism to communicate and learn from others whom share those ideals.

I know what he meant, and i don't condemn no one for changing his mind. My point was ironic, because of the patronizing tone, and the ridiculous generalizations about socialists in his post.

Right, because it's inconceivable that eminent scientists (Kropotkin, Einstein, Haldane, Chomsky, Pannekoek, Bernal, and Muller among them), numerous philosophers and economists, and millions of proletarians around the world could have ever found communism feasible and desirable.. Communism is a system which only imbeciles and utopian dreamers could possibly find appealing, correct?

Judging from what you've written on the forum thus far, I find this dubious. Perhaps you once considered yourself a "Red," but you clearly didn't understand the Marxian critique of capital or the socialist alternative.

There are a finite number of possibilities for structuring an economy, and there likely aren't going to be many new ideas ahead, let alone ones worth struggling for. Fortunately, plenty of excellent economic models have been proposed and experimented with. The most productive thing theoreticians can do at this point, in my opinion, is study what has already been written on the subject and modify the models where they find it necessary to. The working class will ultimately be the ones who decide which mode of production transcends capitalism.
