“Communism is in many ways very similar to Christianity”
Yes sure, “only” christians don’t killing people now (in middl ages… ).

Comunism base idea is wrong. Only the system, where everyone trying be the best (democracy, not comunism) and with high auto-regulation market (democracy, not the central plaining in comunism) may work the best.

Democracy isn’t the best too, for example total taxes in Czceh Republic is over 50% of income, and state giving so many rights to control the people. RFID in passports or ID, wiretapping, some paranoids must be crazy from this. But i don’t know better state system now.

For me personally is comunism extreme left, and meet with extreme right nazism (political systems are the circle, where extremes meet together), i hate it both, i’m loving freedom.

Comunist killed hundreds of innocent people in Czech Republic and take to jail and uranic (and similar) labor camp hundred of thousand people only in the small 10M Czech Republic country. Defent comunism is as spiting to all this political murdered people.

Great Britain is only symbolic monarchy, it’s more democracy, which look little better .

“So not every communist country.”
Every, from the xx post-soviet countries was obsolete! Czech Republic was the top in 1918 in industry, in 1968 (and it was not by the WWW2) it was totally obsolate (as other comunism countries.

The base of comunism Russia was destroyed not by military force, but by the power of money and business, and comunism fail.

Cuba is completely obsolete, did you see the 50 year old cars, which they repairing? And his “industry” and street with old houses. It’s completely stagnation.

North Korea building atomic weapons and taking own people to Famine.

Only last tower of comunism Is China, and China isn’t comunism (where people working for other people) it’s pure capitalism, the purest capitalism on the earth without health insurrance or free school covered to the totality colored to the red.

Comunism fail.

“Ask people if they have confidence in their political leaders”
Only the oldest generation, which hate simply everything . Young generation know, that they changing politics trhough the election.

Do you know, what i’m telling if someone only wathich TV (i don’t watch it) and is angy to the politics. I everytime say him to shut-up and stand as a candidate in next vote…

Everything will be change, and this old czech opinion “everything is fucked, better do nothing” will change too, because everyone see now, that THEY changing they reality, they vote and may change simply everything. Don’t you have money, start some business. Don’t you like todays politics, start your own party, everything is possible… Democracy is great, i’m loving it .

there you have it. Communism is not necesarily a dictature.

Also, dictature does not have to be bad for its people; it is quite common that even democracies or republics elct a dictator to lead them during war times, because democracy is very weak and slow in decision-making, which makes it inefficient in troubled times. Of course, there’s a risk that once the “troubled times” are over, the dictator may be reluctant to return control back to “the people”; or, as Star Wards Episodes 2 through 3 show, the dictator may act so that the troubled times don’t officially end.

The biggest problem with communism as an idea of absolute sharing of resources and “working together to achieve greater future” is that by itself, it does not have any regulatory instruments that would force people to conform, or that would penalize people for not-conforming. Therefore, all countries that tried to “build communism” very soon resorted to violence against the opposition, although such violence did not have any justification in Communism as a principle. It can be observed that Communism is in many ways very similar to Christianity (or, technically, the teachings of Jesus Christ) — share what you have, do not ask, do not hurt other people, do not judge… But where the first Christians suffered under the oppresion of the Roman empire because they remained true to JC’s teachings and “didn’t fight back”, communists quickly labeled their opponents as “enemies of the regime” and started punishing them (locking them in prisons or executing them).

from a different angle:
There were and still are countries that do have a “dictator”, or “supreme ruler”. Great Britain has its royal family, with the “heir” to the throne; Monaco has the royal family, Japan has the royal family… But in these monarchies, although there is someone who can dictate how to live to the people, people are not resigned and/or boycotting the society. Also, take “Cuba”, yet another communism country, where people do believe in their “president” and are trying. So not every communist country, nor every country with an untouchable ruler, is doomed.

And, now look around you in your Czechia: Ask people if they have confidence in their political leaders – the answer will be “No, they are the worst people in this country!” You’d hear the same in Slovakia or Polland, simply because what matters is not the organization of power, but the use or abuse of power. Our politicians abuse their power. Japanese royal family does not.

I read whole your commment (now again the part under the line ), but it’s too long, and your english isn’t good. May you next time shorter your message please. Isn’t good to write so long messages, if your english skill isn’t excelent. Someone will don’t understand your language. Try use simple sentences…

THX for your comment .

I suggest you focus on the part of my comment below the “==…==” line.

So the main motto of all people was (and it’s to this time) “Don’t do anything.” Don’t start business, don’t speculate on stock exchange, don’t be initiative…

It’s some passive resistance…
