| Human beings are never satisfied; we always want a better life, or a better life for our family and those we care for. We want more, and don't tell me that you yourself don't feel this impulse as well, since you "want" Communism. Whether its material greed, philosophical want or individual desire, people are going to want something, somebody or more.
That need is what leads people to be so greedy as to be inconsiderate towards others and commit crimes. I cannot begin to explain how naive it is to claim that criminal thought can be eradicated with Communism. Limiting the social environment to where everyone has the same as everyone else will not eliminate individual thought, individual desire and individual needs.
"Just because you could kill people, would you?"
Definitely not, but that doesn't mean others would not either, and I think all murder and violence on the planet is proof enough of that.
For Communism to work, you would need to eliminate philosophy, sexual and emotional desire, feelings, etc. You would have to remove everything from the human being, culture and individuality among all other things, that makes them human in the first place.
Sure doesn't sound very utopian to me... although, I suppose after you removed our very souls and turned us into practical zombies, we would interpret anything as being what we were told. Not that words would hold any value or meaning anymore. |
