What is so good about Communism?

There is something I haven't considered. Infrastructure = Socialism

 

So Obama is Hitler?

 

It's only good in theory. Individuals who support communism/socialism think that a utopian organization of humans can be achieved. It cannot. Their hearts are in the right place but they are confused about/don't understand human nature.

 

If that is true, then how come virtually nobody tries to emigrate from the US to Europe but quite a lot of Europeans emigrate to the US?

 

What is it's core?

There are no countries in communism

 

Dictatorship in which a central party organ suppresses all dissent. Suppression of free associations and initiatives.

 

You are wrong , you are thinking of USSR & co while i made clear in my first post that this was not communism .

Apologies for getting too technical , i tried to be simple but your false assumptions need to be answered.

 

Too bad you can't deal with reality.

 

Most new streets are built by private developers. They a built to the specifications required by the city or county with jurisdiction. Once completed and passed inspection, they are “donated to the entity having jurisdiction.

In other areas where larger roadway have established right of ways (but no road) business wishing to build along it must build that portion servicing their business, once again to jurisdiction specification and the road must “gifted” to the taxing authority.

Most Farm to market and county roads exist along trails established long before current jurisdictions were ever in place.
There are some highways, typically federal or state, built across farmland confiscated through eminent domain laws. These add little to the farmer, but they do add building sites at crossroads while businesses in the little bypassed towns dry up.

Roads do add infrastructure to everyone but typically not without cost to the adjoining land owner. I guess if sounds “kinda fascist or feudal” to you because you don’t understand where most roads come from.

 

Their hearts may be in the right place, but their brains have been conditioned to believe that living life under someone else's rule and or guidance is much more alluring and satisfying then to actually have individual independence/liberty/freedom and control of their lives as we have here in America. This isn't rocket science.

 

See, this is where having an education is a good idea. Communism is not socialism, and a nation adopting socialist policies (the majority do), is not going to become a Stalinist state. You can come out from under the bed now.

 

Direct democracy is not someone ruling or guiding you.
Sure you are free to do as you are told , HAHAHA independence and liberty ....

 

He is closer to Hitler, than he is to Stalin.

If he were closer to Lenin, he might actually do some good for America.

Obama has not acted as America's President, but as Black America's President.

Over and over and over again, his actions have shown that despite is "Throwing Rev. Wright under the bus" he remains a Black Liberation Theologist at his core.

This fatal character flaw will mean that none of Obama's works will endure, and his legacy and remembrance will be the nail that sealed America's Coffin.

I see your point, with one exception. I think he would have liked to be Black America's President. That did appear to be his goal. However, it seems that the Black Population is becoming more and more disillusioned with him. I suppose if he had put out more effort for them, it may have worked better.

He just seems too lazy to be bothered with anyone.

 

In a direct democracy, is it the people as a collective or individuals who have the power? The collective can be as opressive as any despot.

 

You mean that taking decisions in your city council on how your city should be run can get oppressive?
I understand that you can be a minority in many subjects but unless you are a sociopath you will be the majority in others , also this system is foul proof on the aspect of the majority can be wrong and policy should be shifted , with no interest groups , lobbyists and political carriers in jeopardy it can be done swiftly !

 

Well, that's more of a socialist/capitalist hybrid (like most countries). It just happens to lean more towards socialism than many others.

 

Guantanamo Bay is a prison camp, not a concentration camp. If it were a concentration camp, the inmates in it would have been gathered from inside the United States.

 

Perhaps.

 

Manzanar

Trail of Tears

First two that come to mind.

 

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Just because the majority is in the majority that doesn't mean they are always making rational and just decisions. Had we implemented direct democracy in the middle ages for example, the majority would stilol have voted to burn witches. Therefore, I must say that democracy and democracy only isn't a good thing. Democracy has to be restrained somewhat, so that not everything is up for vote by the majority. As a principle, only things that affect everyone is justified to be oted on by everyone. In all other cases only the people affected should vote, and in many cases only a single individual should have the say.

 

The Graves from the Civil War come to my mind... Gettysburg?

The "War of Northern Aggression" was as much about the argument over Federalism and States rights as it was about slavery and abolition.

Because the majority of the writers of history, come from the victor's side, we don't often see it that way, but a thorough study of the era reveals it.

The graves of Gettysburg may not be graves of "Communism", but they certainly could be considered graves of "Central State Authoritarianism".

So in 70 yrs of Communism not one country got it right?

 

a growing belief in something I've actually never heard anyone but you say?

yeah, that's definitely it.

 

You are rather stretching it if you expect any American on this forum to actually tell it as it is if it means currying disfavour with another American.

Yeah! That's definitely it!
