| Ha, ha. What a naive view of human nature...
“under communism no-one would be taking away anything from you”
Uh, that would be because you have NOTHING to take away. Including your FAMILY because THAT would be destroyed by the iron boot of government as well.
“If you worked, regardless of how lowly your position, you would be provided with everything you needed, because every bodies input in society is neccesary.”
So, by “lowly position” you admit that some will be “above” you even in communism! It is this permanent imbalance between men one of the things that makes communism stupid.
And if you worked hard you would eventually STOP working so hard because you WILL see that others are getting exactly the same thing YOU are for doing LESS work! Then everyone else would eventually work less and the entire system would suffer malaise and collapse. Ever heard of the Soviet Union!?
This fool hardy experiment in socialization has been tried many, many times for hundreds of years. Even the “Pilgrims” who came to the Americas imagined they would start a commune of equal ownership in the system of government, the proceeds of work and the ownership of property. Guess what happened? They had to jettison the plan because people eventually stopped working when they saw other colonists were not working as hard as they were but still getting all the same things out of the system. There was no advancement and no reward so everyone gave up.
When you grow up out of your somewhat childish respect for communism you will wonder how you could ever have been so enamored by such an idiotic idea. |
