Thread: Communism, A Lesson in Logic

  1. #1

    Default Communism, A Lesson in Logic

    This is going to be a bit of a longwinded rant on the Evils of Communism, expect much satire, many quotes from Ayn Rand, and a Lenin with red skin. Speaking as a former Communist; I am well-versed in its literature, so if anyone wants to challenge it’s basic system.


    The Communist Manifesto opens with the lines, “A spectre is haunting Europe—the spectre of Communism. All the Powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Pope and Czar, Metternich and Guizot, FrenchRadicals and Germanpolice-spies.

    Despite the errors, the Communist Manifesto does get one thing right, Communism would become a spectre, as in a dead soul without a real body.

    Let’s look at what would happen in theory,

    1. Revolution in-which the “Bourgeois” (everyone that did’nt work in a factory or anyone that made more then the lower side of Average Wages) Bourgeois supposedly either give up or are all executed.
    2. Dictatorship of the Proletariat, the majority rules and gets what they want, everyone is treated equally, no one “owns” anything.
    3. Decline of Dictatorship, beginning of no Government at all and complete Anarchy with Humans sharing and being kind.

    Well Communism, gets number one done REALLY quickly, fortifies number two as fast as possible; however they seem to procrastinate number 3. Perhaps it’s all the Red Flag waving or maybe they were all got too busy singing the Internationale.

    What one ends up with, is a big state centered Economy, an immensely powerful Military Arm, and a general Police State. Let’s look at why this happens,

    • People don’t like not being in control: In other words, it’s good to be king.
    • Communism would fall apart in about a year without this kind of Police State: In other words, it sucks not being able to get the Bread you were promised.

    The main reason why Communism has always failed, and always will fail, is because the Government wants money, and they can make more money by trading Heavy Industries and the like, then they can trading Consumer Goods.

    The Government wants to keep functioning, mainly because they want to hold the power, that evil “Greed” again in a People’s State.

    Lenin: Alright, we’ve finally won! Now what shall we do with all the resources we have for all the people of Russia!
    Trotsky: Let’s get us some awesome Dachas and then we can have the best of everything, then we’ll give the rest to Russia.
    Lenin: Perfect plan! Then in order to make even more money we will start attacking Middle Class Farmers!
    Stalin: Just make sure you leave enough of a Power Vacuum to allow an Evil Tyrant like me to take over and kill tons of People!
    Lenin: Working on it right now!
    Lenin: Yes, I believe we have successfully ****ed up Russia for the next Century or so.
    Stalin: Perfect, now shall we massacare the innocent Czar who was just a poor confused man who’s only crime was to be born to the Romanov line?
    Lenin: Alright, sure go take care of it, you’ll need practice at killing more Innocents.
    Trotsky: Alright, Lenin, can you make sure that Stalin will get me to flee to mexico then have someone hit me in the head with a Pickaxe?
    Lenin: Of course, for your loyalty you get to live a life of discomfort and exile!
    Stalin: Killed them all, when are you going to die?
    Lenin: Hold on, wait a few seconds.
    Stalin does imitation of a spirit like Marx
    Stalin: Good work on spreading the Revolution! (In eerie spooky voice)
    Lenin: GOOD GOD IT”S MARX
    Lenin dies of Heart Attack Instantly
    Stalin chases Trotsky in a chase scene resembling that of a Scooby-Doo syle comedy.

    Just because I picture this whenever I think of Lenin




    Government "help" to business is just as disastrous as government persecution... the only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hands off.
    Ayn Rand
    -------------------------------------
    Just as man can't exist without his body, so no rights can exist without the right to translate one's rights into reality, to think, to work and keep the results, which means: the right of property.
    Ayn Rand
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    Man's unique reward, however, is that while animals survive by adjusting themselves to their background, man survives by adjusting his background to himself.
    Ayn Rand
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    Money demands that you sell, not your weakness to men's stupidity, but your talent to their reason.
    Ayn Rand
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper's bell of an approaching looter.
    Ayn Rand
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    So you think that money is the root of all evil. Have you ever asked what is the root of all money?
    Ayn Rand

    Off topic, but just who is John Galt. I've heard that he is a character in Atlas Shruged, but the wiki doesn't go into much detail. And I doen't feel like reading something that thick with concepts I am probably not gonna grasp.

    Oi oi oi....lets not start debating about him. I just would like a good description of him. I have been seeing his name everywhere latlely (college sure brings out the academics in people). I was at Purdue and saw written in chalk in big letters on the ground "John Galt? **** John Galt." Some of my friends started to laugh at it, and I was befuddled.

    I see you are a fine former communist. I have been wondering now what led to the decline of communism in the last half of the last century, and I'm beginning to see light now.

    Are you really that dumb? The transition from socialism (Dictatorship of the Proletariat) to communism (Classless Society), during which the Bourgeois legacy is methodically wiped out, itself takes more than a hundred years, and never has been achieved yet. Anarchy comes even later. Don't you see the the degree of conscious evolution needed for an anarchy to work? The immensely powerful Military Arm (the legendary Red Army in which every healthy man must serve for some time) is necessary to keep out foreign intervening powers, and will be dissolved (along with country borders) once the government has been overthrown in all the countries. The Police are required to suppress counter revolutions while the Bourgeois still exist, and will be dissolved once the society is classless. It is then that the state withers away.

    I am not defending anyone. I am speaking of the future plans only.
    And pardon me for saying that there is only one socialism, and nothing called a social democracy. Democracy sucks
