    All thoes capitalist and facist comment below, please shut your trap. The only reason communism in the CCCP, China, Cuba, North Korea, And Vietnam is because they are not doind it right. Stalin was once a true communist but then facism grew in his heart and he became a truly evil man. Mao was never a communist either, he was a dictator trying to destroy and kill. Nor was castro, kim jong il's dad (I forgot his name.) And communist vietnams dictator (forgot his name too...) and because of them communism is destroyed.... now think about it before you say such mean things that offend others.

    Wow are you stupid.

    First, Russia is not communist, they are democratic and have been since 1992. They have unemployment and homeless people just like everyone else.

    China is not communist. China has a free market economy. Their govt is Marxist-Leninist, but their economy is free market. ML is a political state, communism is an economic state.

    If ML and communism was so successful, then Russia (USSR) would not have imploded in 1992 and China would not have the world's fastest growing economy.

    North Korea has a ML society (dictatorship) and a communist economy. In the mid nineties, 1M people died from starvation and currently about 100k die every year from malnutrition. 35 percent of prisoners die every year in their political prisons.

    Cuba is ML and communist. As many as 50 percent of all the women resort to prostitution just to have money to buy food.

    I could go on, but I don't have the time to document 100 years of economic and political failures related to ml and communism. Perhaps you should do some research on your own. Start with the Ukraine famine? of 1932/1933 when Stalin murdered 12M-15M Ukranians in 1 year through starvation. Or do some research on North Korea and the political prison camps like Camp 21, 22 or 24.

    Have a nice day.

    There is a really obvious problem with communism in large communities, which lack of incentive. It can work within a family or a small village, but if how much you work has no effect of the happiness and welfare (dare I say utility?) of you or anyone you care about, there's no reason to work. Also, don't you know what happened to the communist Soviet Union? My parents grew up there, and the people there had a saying which, roughly translated, means 'We don't work, and you don't feed us.' And you know 'from each by his ability to each by his need'? Who is some fat guy in the government to decide what we 'need'? They would literally measure out tiny amounts of oil and meat out every month, and they would have these tiny door ways where they were like 'how much room does a person, who is really skinny because we don't feed them, to walk through? Okay, let's do three quarters of that, it doesn't really concern us either way, and it's easier to build.'

    Russia's current economy is terrible and their government is corrupt and they have a dictator who fakes elections so much it isn't even funny and all of Russia looks like a giant spiderweb centered on Moscow.

    I happen to have a great college job as well as an internship working with DARPA. Everyone's equal and should be treated equal. You can't say I work 3:00 an hour, so just shut your ignorance. Social disparity is what leads to wars, poverty, famine, everything that's wrong with this planet, all because humans are selfish and ignorant, a mindless race we are despite the process evolution has had. People like you I feel like you don't even know how many people you step on. Despite our capitalist (every man and woman for themselves) system, a little help doesn't hurt. I do not defend the people who leech government money, but i do to those who use the well deserved help to get off the ground and into work. People like you are ignorant to the lives of others.

    I am a communist. I believe that capitalism is a plague upon humanity. It doesn't work for long periods of time. Communism is the answer to all political and economical problems. Although I don't agree with all of the Soviets Unions decisions they are a perfect example of how communism would work in today's society if people were not so against it. Communism brings a dream. A dream where people are TRUELY EQUAL to each other. A dream where no one is starving and the grass is always green. where peace is the moral of life. "From each man according to his skills, to each man according to his needs"

      It's "[f]rom each by his ability to each by his need" actually, but that's irrelevant. Are you seriously claiming the Soviet Union was GOOD? Stalin is usually ranked #2 or #3 on lists of most evil people ever, and Lenin not to far down from there. My parents grew up in it and were teenagers when it fell, and I have EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS that it was better afterwards. And my dad was isolated from all anti-Soviet ideas as a child because they sent people who didn't agree with them to "lunatic 'asylums'" where they would be TORTURED FOR DAYS and my grandma, to whom that happened, didn't want that to happen to him. It was horrible. There is a really, really obvious flaw with communism which is that it removes incentives. There is no reason to work under communism.

      Also: "Truly equal". PEOPLE ARE NOT ALL EQUAL. GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL. Do you want strong people to have to wear weights tied to their arms, smart people to have disrupting noises playing through their heads, people with extraordinary ability physically forced to be like everyone else?

      Zuchov, you realize that capitalism has practically brought about the modern world we live in now, don't you? wait, why am I asking that; of course you didn't, and you probably never would let yourself see this way. if it wasn't for the scientific discoveries made by business-sponsored research under capitalism, we would all probably still live in stick-and-thatch shacks.

    Humans are all the same, we seem to have forgotton that ideal. We were born the same, but given different chances, some good, some terrible. IF there were a government in the u.s. tht gave everyone the same chances, same everything, then mabey someday realizing the no social classifications dream, no calling people minorities dream just because they have a different nationality dream, mabey someday it would come to pass. I think its time for a new world order.
