When you say it over and over again it doesn't sound like a real word any more.

"Communism"
"Connamism"
"Cnnnamusim"
"Cinnamonnn"

I think thats why no one likes them.

I'd love to hear some feedback though. Maybe Facial king has an opinion on the matter?

problem of communism is that the equal distribution of misery.
 
The problem with communism is that we "frame" it as a militaristic society with despotic leaders hellbent on forcing their views and "ways" on other countries while ignoring the needs of their own.

Does that sound familiar to anyone...:uohs::shy:

But that's just it.
Communism was ended by the very people it had supposedly looked after, not by any invading force or influential power.
even if the cold war being stepped up by Ronald Reagan did push the Kremlin up against the political/historical/economic cliff.
It was the people who ended it in Russia.
There is no such pressure on China and hardliner communism is folding there too.
and look what happened to the western economy when it was tried here, accept it was in the form of an unregulated dominating big business market.
Give it what ever name you want, it comes down to the same thing, manipulating and dominating the masses based upon what the powers that be, think will get them what they want, with little to no regards to the consequences.

So the Russian people ended Communism and in it's place arose...Mafia? RussianAmerikka? Hasn't Russia basically gone "back" toward Communism because of all the fat oil cash they have?

China of today fits your last sentence. The last time "the people" rose up against Chinese communism was what--1989 Tiananmen Square?


Instead of the businessman standing against the tanks, the businessman drives the Buick and the tanks are in garages...
