  1. Forced being a key word. Communism is based on the restriction of individual liberty, so it must be forced onto the citizen. This is why it is doomed to failure.

     

    *except in a Utopian society. The greed of man will always get the better of him in real life.

  2. Marx saw it as a transition:

    Capitalism>>Socialism>Communism

    Consequently it should have been the most capitalist of states that first became socialist: Germany or the UK were prime candidates in his mind.

    He would have been horrified if someone had suggested primitive' date=' feudalistic Russia. It had not progressed to the necesssary pre-condition of capitalism.[/quote']

     

     

    I guess that's way the venture failed miserably. People were forced to uphold comunist ideals by killing them. That doesn't sound very effective to me.

  3. This body would have to meet the requirements of electing a certain number of canidates according to their political alliance' date=' or opinion. These parties will be name (for now) the [i']Rights, Lefts, and Neutrals[/i]. ( Original, isn't it? ;) ) Body A would consist of:

    • 150 Lefts
    • 150 Rights
    • 200 Neutrals

     

    The major problem I see with this system is that you've created a rigid ruling body. It doesn't change to meet the views of the people. What if the people, for whatever reason, become more right. You still have the same number of leftist lawmakers representing a population who don't share the same point of view. Your system doesn't take into consideration what the people want. This is of course, not necessarily a bad thing. You may have designed it that way on purpose. Personally, I wouldn't like it that the majorities veiws may not be represented, even though it may work as a system.

  4. But then, in unrestricted socialism, there is no capatilism. In complete, unrestricted socialism, no capatile is raised. Each person has a job to do, that contributes to a final project. Everybody needs to do there job in order to run smoothly.

     

    For example, John Doe works is a farmer. He grows food that is stored in a warehouse where people are given what they need. In similiar warehouses are stored other things made by other people, that John needs. Everybody works to provide goods for everyone else. There is no monetary system needed, for everyone is interdependant on each other.

  5. Who says we have more disasters now then before? Natural disasters have always plauged inabitants on earth. Volcanoes have wiped out intire civilizations, and a metoer has wiped out an entire evolutionary link.

  6. I found this quite interesting, perhaps you will too.

     

    Karl Marx, author of the communist manifesto, was a supporter of capatilism in his own way. He believed that government should be a progression, and believed capatilism should precede socialism.

  7. I think that time travel to the past is impossible. I agree with the Rebel on that one. However, time travel into the future is a completely different matter. In the future, the deck of cards has already fallen, so you can not affect the present.
