  1. Communism itself is the problem. Otherwise it wouldn't lend itself so easily to authoritarianism. <et our fear of authoritarianism blind us to the potential benefits of a more equitable society.> Which can only be achieved by wholesale suppression of individual liberty and personal agency in order to make a "whole new man."

  2. <it must be implement with a democratic & cooperative fundament.> Which ironically went on to be the final nails in the USSR and Yugoslavia's coffins.

  4. Yes it can. <otherwise it's not communist, it's now authoritarian or totalitarian.> Like every other society that adopted communism.

  11. Communism was bad. It laid the foundation by stripping people of their ability and desire to make an honest living and get ahead by honest means. Black markets and embezzlement (workers stealing from their workplaces) were things for a reason.

  20. Communism laid the foundation for it when it stripped people of their ability and desire to do for themselves, having to rely on government for basic survival.

  21.  @Yourunkbob  <capitalism, without socialism> But socialism without capitalism has proven itself to be a disaster as many countries that adopted socialism/communism ended up having to depend on outside aid just to sustain themselves including even the USSR.

  22. <but communism isn't equal to dictatorship.> Care to name country that adopted communism that didn't become a dictatorship?

  23. Especially when the people are ignorant and never knew a life outside of waiting on the government for everything.

  24. No. Albania's capitalism was a direct result of communism leaving behind an impoverished and desperate population once it ran its course.

  25. No. Communism killed Albania as it was communism that made the people poor and easy targets for capitalists.

  26. Communism was every bit as greedy. At least in Albania's case under Hoxha.

  27. The human race needs God as when left to their own devices, they are slaves to their own desires. A lot of which are detrimental to themselves and others.

  30. So good that he left behind an impoverished country in his wake.
