for the elderly,medicaid for the poor, unemployment insurance for people that have worked hard for years and are now in dire straights through no fault of thier own, veterans benefits for soldiers that fought for your rights etc... My question I guess is this; do you kick them into the gutter yourself or do you hire someone to do it for you ?

Karl Marx defined communism as a final stage of the social development, in which the class differences are abolished. Communism is only theoretical dialectic and nowhere practiced. Socialism is practiced in several countries for example in Venezuela, Kuba, Bolivia, Vietnam. Quote:

First off there really aren't any true communist countries on the planet and most socialist countries are in the state of flux between a capitalist economy and a communist one. Lenin said there would undoubtedly be "birth pangs" during these times and most socialist (at least the revolutionary ones) are experiencing these. Secondly if you're going to criticize someone's intelligence remember these three things before you hit the Submit Reply button below. Capitalization. Punctuation. Spelling.

I challenge you to look up the per capita murder rates for any country you choose and come back with a link confirming it. This one stands out in my humble opinion. link I may have been presumptious to assume you equated socialism with communism however; my apologies.

nope, i also never said that, i do said that where communists are at power there are a lot of people who die for it, and that is not because of the crime of some low-on-money people, it's of the f*cking gouverment, lenin and stalin have the blood of millions on there hand, there is a large mass grave near st petersburg where no one is allowed, u know what's in there? 100000 bodies of people who not agreed or simply 'did not fit' in those mad mens world, the exact number of dead in sovjet russia is not even known. i don't think u know but, i gues u know auchwitz? u know from anne frank, well the popular history sais that the russians 'liberated' the camp and left it all together, the truth is that the camp functioned further but now under sovjet rule, they even used the knowledge of german camps to build there own in siberia.
and look what china did whit tibet also there are lot's of prisons there filled with politic prisoners, remember the riot on the Tiananmen Square in 1989? where chinees thanks drove in on protesting students, but i must say, china is on the better hand since they start to have sence now and make comunism work in a good way. but there crimes still last. i don't say enything about crime rathes, i'm just saying that i don't want communism as the form of rule in my country, since u tend to disapear when u don't like it, i think freedom of speach is the most dearest gift we have. regards btw, brussels is safe, lol never tought that

2) i never criticized anyone's intelligence, i said that there is a difference between not liking commi's and not liking social services. 3) remeber not everyone is a english speaking person, some other languages do exist to and since i am one of the not english speaking persons there are spelling mistakes in my writing and i'm not going to worry where i put my comma, i think this is still a forum where u can express yourselves on your own account? if u are going to make such comments i think u need to think first before u click the submit button. regards

Socialism could also work with democratic laws, decisions and without human rights abuse of the goverment IMHO. Capitalism is based on greediness, materialism, consumption, competition and exploitation of the nature. And its really not a guarantee for no abuse of human rights, especially not in police states where politicians think 99.9% of their citizens are potential terrorists. |

There have never been any true Communist states. Once Communism fully takes hold, the state becomes unnecessary and "withers away".
I also don't think your equation of Lenin to Stalin is well founded in fact. I also don't think your using an example of the flaws of The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics as an example of the flaws of Communism. Also I don't disappear when I disagree, I have to go get exploited for 10 hrs a day so I can eat.
