fair enough i can't speak of the people but on the part of it not being a traditional communist you cannot have any other. communism is ideally one of the best forms of goverment but to my knowledge there has never been a communist nation and i do not like people tarnishing its name by coparing it to dictatorships which are the usual form you see like russia.
sorry but i hate how people use communism as a bad term cause they are led to believe places like china are an example of it.
Oh,so I misunderstood you. I know what you are talking about, and I fully agree with you. Im taking two courses in Political Science, so I know Communism is not evil like many idiots say. Communism is an excellent idea, and many good things that Capitalist system are using to benefit its people come from Communism (or Marxism I say) like healthcare and public service. The only problem is it was not applied at the right time and with a wrong idea so it became terrible. Marx never said that Communism should be brought by revolution, but he said when capitalism reaches its climax, there will be another form of better government-like Capitalism takes over Monarchy. So he calls it Communism, that's all. He said that there is no class in a Communist country, then people misunderstood that social classes will be destroyed. They forgot what he mentioned earlier in his theory that Capitalist reaches its max and it has produced a full production that can satisfy everyone. So social classes still exist but it just doesnt matter anymore, since people do what they do voluntarily. They work because they take pride in their job. Job becomes self-creation. They share like a community (hence the term Communism) not because they are forced to, but because they already have enough, so anything that's surplus can be distributed equally. I think Scandianavian countries and Switzerland have almost reached that point. That's why they are on top of the list of most developed nations, not United States.
Thats an nice thought but communism or anything close will never work unless people evolve out of our present nature. You make the mistake of assuming people will be happy with whatever they have. People always want to be the best, and if they can't do that with materials they do it with power over other people. Also, if everyone has whatever they could ever want they won't try, why would they, they would have no goal to work for, unless it was from the goodness of their heart and thats pretty rare. As for Scandinavian countries, they are rated high because the government services are top notch. But so are their taxes. Seriously the taxing is obscene. Its like $16 for a beer there and like over %100 tax. No sane business would ever set up any real operation there unless they are from there.
Also, I hate that China is rising and i view it as a dangerous situation. Luckily they can't really do anything to the states that wouldn't hurt themselves. Like the economy, they would die without the states. Plus i'd like to see them try and attack the states, they would be whipped before they crossed the big pond. I think China will not do well in the future, mainly because they will have no resources and will die off---No JOKE. Either that and they do fight the states and get their as kicked by the states and a wave of a billion indians.
One more thing, we should wipe north korea off the face of the earth... that is all.
OK, theres my rant, and btw i'm Canadian, not american if you got that impression.
