What's on your mug?

an absolute joke of an ideology with an annoying fanbase of edgy western kids. it has been rejected by most economists as a dogshit ideology that goes against human nature. wherever it has been tried people have been worse off and most people from former communist countries loathe it. even though it claims that it would give the means of production to workers it has been transferred to the state instead. its terrible in both theory and practice. capitalism is certainly not the best system but it is far better than communism. many communists claim that true communism has never been tried and I would say they're in denial

communism sucks, its a fact

An idealistic way of life based on the concept that everyone is equal. It probably was first used in early Christian communities, and was popularized by many famous thinkers, like Marx. Because of inherent "flaws" of human nature, communism remains an impossible utopian standard to this day. It is sometimes used incorrectly to classify certain countries that are simply dictatorial or socialist, not communist.

I would rather live in a capitalist country than in a communist one.

System of government where everyone is equal and all private property is abolished and given to the government. Sounds like a good idea, but it kinda fails when you notice that a doctor is getting paid the same wage as a janitor and you just surrendered all of your power and property to the government, who can do whatever the hell they want with it.

It's amazing that; despite the fact that all attempts at Communism have resulted in failure and often the slaughter of millions of innocent people, people still support its crackpot ideology. Equality is not the same as fairness.

The situation where, the worst possible scenario that could happen, does. Usually a situation that one hasn't thought of.

Man skips work to pick his kid up from school. When he arrives, he finds out his son ran away. On his way back home the man hits his son, killing him, and his job fires him for being late to work.

An idea that worked out on paper, but failed miserably in practice. It actually might've worked quite well if Joseph Stalin didn't turn himself into an all-controlling despot. Also a rarely understood economical system, partly because of capitalist governments during the Cold War telling people that it's wrong, and partly 'cos most people can't stand reading ten words of Marx's writing.

Communism in its essence consists of a classless society with an equalised economy. And no, I'm not defending or supporting it, I'm just posting my observations of it.
