There is not Communism or Marxism, but representative democracy and social justice in a well-planned economy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Communism is a monopolistic system, economically and politically.
There isn't much in the way of pure communist spirit, because the whole nation seems to be engaged in capitalistic enterprises. Much of the country still operates under government control.
Communism is a proposition to structure the world more reasonably, a proposition for changing the world. As such, we have to analyze it and, if we deem it reasonable, act upon it.
Communism is a monopolistic system, economically and politically. The system suppresses individual initiative, and the 21st century is all about individualism and freedom. The development of technology supported these directions.
The communist model does not work economically, we all realised that, but the capitalist model in the modern world also looks to be unsustainable.
Communism seemed to be an ideal experiment in trying to achieve a state where all persons have greater democracy. I might add, like other persons here and elsewhere, I found myself concerned with the problem of increasing need for greater economic and political democracy for greater numbers of people.
Let's not talk about Communism. Communism was just an idea, just pie in the sky.
The communism of Karl Marx would probably be actually the best for everybody as a whole. But what he didn't figure into was human nature, and that's what corrupts it.
I'm not a communist, of course. But I do think that everything is down to economics. Capitalism doesn't change.
Communism may be over as an economic system, but as a model of state domination, it is very much alive in the People's Republic of China and in Putin's police state.
