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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
From a systematic standpoint, I think that capitalism is the best system. I can spend a lot of time explaining why I like communism, but it is actually not a good solution. Nor is socialism. So, capitalism is the right model.
Communism didn't work because people weren't ready for it, it was corrupt, and because it squelched individualism.
Communism brought out the worst in human nature and crippled people's ability or ambition to participate in a market economy.
There is not Communism or Marxism, but representative democracy and social justice in a well-planned economy.
Communism can't survive the captivating allure of capitalism.
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.
Karl Marx was in favor of socialist and communist-socialist revolutions, but he had a pretty nuanced view about it.
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.
It's not communism, it's shouldn't be that everybody gets a try no matter how good or bad they are. It's our profession and our art, so we should eventually strive to be working with the best people.
Communism was something so hideous that you had to be an exceptional conformist or a fool not to see the evil around you.
