| There is an old Asian coinage about voting...."It only takes 50+1 to vote for a dictator."
That means if 50+1 want something, the 49% of people will be oppressed under laws they dont want, rules they dont want, and options they dont want.
Now onto your topics:
HUMANITY
How do you know somebody is slacking off? What if everyone just hates that person and votes him/her off, even if that person is working hard? At work, there was an employee nobody liked (he was too quiet, never talked to others), and everyone kept pressuring me to fire him! I obvously couldn't fire him, because I would then be sued. But what if I wasn't there? (being the greedy evil capitalistic boss) That poor guy would be fired!
GOVERNMENT
No matter who or what does the governing, there must be somebody coordinating the process. You don't tell all the factory workers from around the world to come over to Algeria just to elect a local militia. Somebody must be there distributing the weapons, etc. And whats the difference between corruption under Communism and capitalism? (see below)
PRODUCTION
Hitler never gave an order for genocide. It was his lower-subordinates who did. There is no such evidence to show Hitler deliberately gave any death order.
Who will get to debate on the Communist Forum? Will the ENTIRE WORLD get chosen? Or just an elite few? Its those elite debating on the forums who will hold the power.
In contrast, the US President who refuses to give up his power is kicked out by ORGANISED POLICE. In other words, the cops come and drag him off.
Also, how can you know whether somebody is a criminal before giving them a free AK47 or AKSU rifle? If they're planning to kill somebody for extra bread they wont be telling you....
Hitler didn't simply appeal to desperate people....he appealed to everyone, Americans included. Even Ghandi and Churchill applauded Hitler's speeches as fine speeches and policies.
On the oil well: What if a group wants to set up camp on top of an oil well? Since the land belongs to everyone, you can't just go and shoot them (like Bush is doing).
"And what need is there to save for a rainy day?"
Good question. What if crops fail this year? Locusts? Earthquake? Drought? Destroyed transportation lines? Computer failure (which eliminates all your credits)?
"Why do 99% of people under capitalism not steal from their workplace?"
People under capitalism choose not to steal because theres other ways to get more money. Under Communism, because everyone is equal, and there is no way you can get more money than anybody else, then stealing is the ONLY way.
Under capitalism, there are thousands of ways to get more money than everybody else.
"But I believe that as the population would be armed, and well experienced in war after a revolution, they would not sacrifice there new found freedom to such oppurtunists."
The Chinese population was armed and well-trained in warfare in 1949, but Mao still took dictatorship.
"I bet they do want to overthrow him, but (i'll have to check on this) I don't think the North Koreans are an armed populace."
Many are. North Korea has a huge armed force (many of whom also live in poverty). Why don't they overthrow him?
Because of human APATHY. The majority of humans prefer to live in poverty (some pain) rather than risk getting shot in a rebel war (more pain!). The same with capitalism; most people endure crap jobs, rather than risk their financial future on business or investment.
Also, you want the ENTIRE WORLD to become liberal democracy before Communism can take root? I doubt that will happen, especially when socialist protestors are supporting dictatorial regimes and opposing US democracy.
Ideological loyalty is the act of giving your soul to a vague concept, to be manipulated by people smarter than you. |
