I think they're trying to bring down the society by being leeches off capitalist success.

In Spain, most communists wear fur coats and have a nice life styles.. go figure..

The leftists in my country have always been hypocrites.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)Comment

As to the original question, it's about the same way people can buy "Made in China" or "Made in Vietnam" things and be opposed to communism...*shrug*Who wants DVDs? Good prices! I swear!

China and Vietnam are not true communist states.. in fact they have a sizable private sector, moreso China, that are outpacing government companies. You see this in China most of all.
And how many things do you get that say "Made in Vietnam"? It is mostly Taiwan, China, Japan and Malaysia when I buy products.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

Actually, Communism does not require a command economy, which the USSR has showed is way too inefficient, if a bussiness is a Co-op it would be communist and free market, the best of both worlds.

Why, is your idea of communism some grey, drab place?Originally posted by MrFun
Hey, hey -- I'm not saying that communism is not a legitimate ideology. I can respect communism.
MY question is what was posted in the initial thread -- how can you be communist while enjoying the luxuries of capitalism??
It is certainly possible that a Disneyland-esque holiday destination exists in a communist country. The best thing is it's probably free for all.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

By embargoing it? Come now....One person cannot possibly be expected to change things, least of all DISNEYWORLD by NOT GOINGOr something like that. I mean, if you're gonna be a communist, then renounce capitalism!
It's because they're armchair communists only.
More drivel from Cali. How surprising
Examples? True communism has never been tried....and probably won't be tried for quite a while. Humans are not evolved enough yet to achieve it.How can you believe in a political system that has failed so completely the times it has been tried?
Socialism has already been tried and been sucessful. Simply go to Europes cheney, and you'll see.
we like eating.
Shall we get into a discussion about FACISM, Fez?It is a joke and in the end makes the people suffer. Your hardly one to be critisizing another viewpoint about making people suffer when your own.....
And yes, the cheney of europe is REALLY suffering from a massive dictatorship. Yep
Thats because you dont open your mind. AND before you say your open minded.....Just look at my sig. Basically: I listen to others, but won't consider their viewpoints at all.Well the only problem I have is I can't possibly see how communism could ever function properly.
Your worse than Ned, Fez....Well ok, maybe I'm stretching it there
UN Standards of living.....Capitalism will always outpace Communism (every form of it) in my honest opinion.
I guess Kofi dreams of tall, norsk women
Worst of all, why do they treat the working class like lepers?
I didn't know that communists treated the working class like lepers. In that case, it must mean they treat the capitalist class like family.....And because capitalism is opposite of communism, the CAPITALISTS treat the workers like family.....
So all this rucus about Enron is because its a COMMUNIST company
That's a very extreme form of communism. In fact, the mormons (sort of) practice such a form of communism. Ughactually yes. isnt it to each according to his need? u hardly need disneyland.
