Communism was never achieved by any government. China's pretty damn close to it, and look how well they're doing. They were dying of hunger a mere thirty years ago and now, what do they have? They have a ticket to take 16 trillion dollars from the us from the debts. If china asks for the money we owe, we have two choice (us). To nuke China and start a war by some other country thinking America poses a greater threat. Or to give China the money, ruining the economy, or by giving all of the factories to even out the debt.
If i lead China, i would simply start like this. Firstly i would ask the United States for the money they owe. Refusal means nuke, march onto Russia, if win streak continues, march onto europe. If you control those, wait and start nuking britain. And so on.

Communism is never going to work. It usually relies heavily on secret police and being free is a hell of a lot better than being equal. Plus communism usually works on the principle of everyone is equal but some are more equal than others.

Someone cannot be more "equal" than someone else. Its a social hierarchy, whoever works more has better assets. It worked before, its just a dead idea now. However communism has an interesting property of being able to suck more money out of democracies and putting them into debt. Honestly, communism will probably outlast the US because of it, since if the US isn't destroyed by war from all the enemies they've made they'll suffocate on their debt and then just surrender the whole country or something.

I'd also like to add that in the US's current state in the social ladder of nations, we aren't exactly the highest. From what I've heard from my foreign friends that we are racist, full of ourselves, and way too unhealthy pumping junk food into our bodies every day, which all of that is pretty much true. All americans are racist to others in my opinion, even the "charitable" ones who claim to not be, they're still racist treating them differently, you can see the apathy and sense of their superiority complex in their body language. The US may more "free" of a country than some european and asian countries, but the united states is still at gunpoint, only alive because we're negotiating with the shooter.

How the hell are we at gunpoint? Who is pointing the gun?
Every American is racist?

You have a very skewed point of view..

You officially have no clue at all what you're talking about.

The ****? The only reason why communism doesn't work is because people always tend to crave more power.

Do you have any clue what you are talking about? Because you really don't look like you do.  

Yeah, Infernus you might want to learn up on what you're talking about. You are going to be ripped apart on here if you make absurd statements like that without any factual backing. ._.

That's one of the common stereotypes about Americans. Probably comes from our view of the "redneck southerners".  

Communism is the best form of written government. On paper, it sounds like a great idea. In reality, it won't work. Even though capitalism has the problems it does, any man can go anywhere they want on the career ladder if they apply themselves and strive for greatness. I've seen plenty of homeless people that look fit enough to lift blocks of concrete. My first thoughts usually aren't: "Oh, poor thing! The government should use up as much money and resources to better them." They're more like: "What the hell are you sitting around hurting our economy for when you could be out there making ends meat?" Yes, there are people under certain conditions who aren't fit or well enough to work and it is very unfortunate, but again there are many who are. They just refuse to do it is all.

Back on topic, it is true that a war may be on our way. North Korea ended the treaty with South Korea. A concern is that North Korea has been digging tunnels underneath South Korea. There is a possiblity that they may have stored a nuke under the Earth below the South. I hope the UN puts a stop to any of their plots before they instigate a real war.

In many ways it sounds bad. Think about it like this. No one owns anything and it's all owned by the state. You work really hard but someone who lives next to you does nothing. You both get the same. It just isn't going to be fair as some people always work harder so deserver to recieve more.

Read the sentence after the one you just bolded.  

I did. But what I was saying was that it doesn't sound like a good idea.

Yeah, what Blueh meant was though that on paper, it sounds like a great idea, but in reality it is not.

How does the idea of equality in an economy not sound like a great idea?

In my opinion, talking about war is very ridiculous in forums that are only attached with one single mmporg game.

How? It's called Off Topic chat for a reason.

It sounds ridiculous until it actually happens. Nobody thought Hitler would become a power craving savage brute. They thought the idea of a second world war was far fetched and wasn't going to happen. Boy, we're they wrong...  

Well, WW3 really happened then it wouldn't contain any Nazis or Germans at all.
It all ended there. Maybe if it happened, there would only be Iraqis and people from Russia as new war era enemies.
