Honestly how stupid do you have to be to look around the world at all the different countries that have failed due to communism and say "Gee, that seems like a good idea" All down the line people are poorer as a result of communism, the rich are poorer, the middle class is non existent, and the poor are poorer. Seriously what kind of doofus would support such a failed concept? You either have to be a glutton for punishment, or a complete goddamn moron to support such a bad idea. Hmmmm..... Do we have any communists on this site who would care to defend their failed ideology?
I think you're missing the point entirely. Communism, including the brand currently being pushed in the USA, is an easy sell for the politicos (ne'er-do-wells eat up the rhetoric and false promise)... who are more concerned with power... and whose rules they make don't apply to themselves. Even the Russians say, "STUPID AMERICANS... they should have learned from our failed attempt at Communism". Yet, here we are.
And its no coincidence, that the further left our country has went towards communism, the less competitive we have become on the world stasge.
Perhaps the typical American family, and hunter/gatherer groups, are the closest to functioning "pure" communist organizations existing today. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" prevails in those, with differences and modifications of course.
Scale it up to country size and it fails for numerous reasons, dumbass. One being that it stifles human creativity. And you would know that if you had any sense.
