Guest Junah98 Report post Posted November 26, 2002 I refer you back to this: I wish to be a bricklayer. How is it fair that someone in the parliament would get more Pringles than me? Aren't all equal under the Communist umbrella? It provides incentive to climb the social scale. Thus, as you can see, there IS potential for upward mobility.

Guest MrRant Report post Posted November 26, 2002 But I thought Communists got an equal amount of everything. So wouldn't you infact be trying to climb something that will never get you to the top? Wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose of climbing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose of climbing? The government controls a communist society. That society as a result, will be equal. The governing body itself is the higher power of the country, and thus gets exclusive benefits. Man, you people are ignorant as hell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest treble charged Report post Posted November 26, 2002 Hey, I was open to your idea before you told me that my tower wasn't built, yet. All you have to do is show me a cool tower like the one in your picture that's already built and that I can live in, and I'm property of the Communists. And how many more Pringles do members of the government get compared to the rest of the people? I'd be willing to give up my posh bricklaying job and become Vice Communist or something, if it meant I got a lot more Pringles than the average man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted November 26, 2002 ::Carves a circle-A in Sandman's skull.:: The thing I don't get about anarchists is, if they're not for government or any type of control, how can they agree on, much less adopt a symbol for their ethos?

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted November 26, 2002 ::Savages Sandman with a weed whacker:: At these anarchist meetings, is there a chairman? If not, who get the discussion going?

Guest Sandman9000 Report post Posted November 26, 2002 ::Holds his tummy in the corner, trying to pull the skin back together:: No one is really in charge. People just randomly yell out stuff, until they get pissed at each other and start to fight. We might make a circle, but that's just to watch the fight.

Guest Kingpk Report post Posted November 26, 2002 That's what gets me about anarchists: what the hell is the point they're trying to make? No government at all? Yeah, THAT'LL work. I guess they just need an excuse to break stuff and get on the news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted November 26, 2002 It depends. From what little I know conceptually (and having lived on a kibbutz for a few weeks in Israel), I like the idea of communism because I'm not very skilled and I'm jealous of all the material possessions I want but could never hope to afford. However, given that the Soviet Union and all major "communist" leaders have become little more than glorified dictators, I'm obviously not getting something (or they're not). However, I am taking a class on Marx's Communist Manifesto next quarter and I plan on taking other communist/socialist/etc. classes in future semesters, so I can see more how it's supposed to work, or if I should change my beliefs to be a neo-Marxist (which I really don't know anything about). After all, you can be a communist but not support the ways communism has been falsely implemented. From what little I know, I'd say most "communist" governments are actually socialist anyway. Yet from what little I know I also believe true communism could never exist because of the basic human instinct of greed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Junah98 Report post Posted November 26, 2002 You're all wrong. You all think that it communism won't work because there's no point in working if you're just as equal as everyone else. The answer to that is, by making everyone's objectives and goals in life, the same, communism can work! Don't you see? Capitalism has soiled all your minds!
