Communism Will Never Work

Tweet

Let me start off by separating communist theory with communist history. The idea of communism versus the historical practice of communism. I actually do like the idea of communism. The tyrannically murderous dictatorships of communism that we have seen all over the world I do not like. The part about communism I like is sharing. Everyone participates and shares their income or whatever so that everyone has the necessities of life. I believe that food , shelter, clothing, education, and transportation are necessities to live, and that they are a human right. No one should be without any of these. I know it sounds like some communal hippy nonsense, but I really do like the idea of it. I'm the type of person that is happy with the basics. As long as I've got food to eat, a place to sleep, and something to entertain myself with I have no problem with giving my money to people who have none of those things. And that is where my support of communism ends. The idea of it. I would never support a communist government. Why? Because it has never worked and it never will. Why? Because of greed. Just look at the greed in the US alone. Our government collects trillions in taxes every year. There is more than enough to pay for all these things that socialists are always talking about like "free collage." Yet we are constantly in debt. Why? Greed. Politicians pocketing billions and drain the funds. And you want these people to handle even more of your money? No thank you. I can distribute my own funds. Government needs to keep it's hands off of our money.
