Communist Education?

[Snowflake]

This is really fun. Yes that's right. In true communism resources are supposed to be unlimited. People do not have to work. However they WANT to work. Some people want to be teachers. Other people want to learn. There is your education. I understand though lots of you have a very hard time to understand this concept.

Oh and I also agree that no country in the earth is in true communism. Perhaps it is a dream after all. But it is a good dream, isn't it?

And we can come right back at ya with your own, opposite bias -- "I hate everything that is capitalist, so I guess all capitalists are stupid."

It's just been my personal experience that most of the people from Communist countries were a hell of a lot more knowledgable about everything in general than my fellow countrymen or even other Westerners I met.

You mean, you agree more with the commies you've met, so you think they must be more knowledgable.

And, of course, it is representative sampling to compare commies with the resources for international travel to all the bubbas in north Florida.

No. Distribution of wealth is a bad thing and offers absolutely no incentive for progress. Expectation that man will work for the greater good is folly.

'Course this has been hashed over ad infinitum.

Mmmm. And who wants to be the the mortician, or the garbage collector, or the cleaner of the sewage pipes in this utopia? I'm sure people will volunteer in droves to do that work.

HongHu, it is good to see that you agree that education is superfluous in a land where all is supplied by .... ??? .... because in such a land, work is a hobby, and knowledge and skill are simple curiousities.

Sounds just like the Garden of Edan.

There will be no school, there will be no cities, there will be no progress. Problem solved, commie utopia. Back to the aboriginal state we were meant to be in.

And a proud day it was for Europe.
And communism wasn't East Germany's creation...Just part of those events in history.

Yes, millions of liquidated people, and wretched human slave animals.

Simply wonderful, dahling!

Ok, I make jokes about communism, but when people seriously post that communist Apolytoners would support any crimes against humanity to advance their ideology, I wonder about those people who make such posts.

Chegitz, Monkspider, and the others have stated in the past -- over and over -- that while there have been corrupt, oppressive communist regimes, that a communist government based on justice and integrity is still a possibility.

[Ned]

MrFun, have you ever heard a communist not argue that the end justifies the means?

[curtsibling]

Humanity first, ego-feeding ideologies last, is my motto.

I find that most of the 'communists' on the net would shrivel up with fear, had they a taste of the real thing.

Middle-class plastic-rebels, anyone?

[Patroklos]

There is no communism based on justice and integrity. I bet the Soviet citizens had their mind blown when their state collapsed from internal political and internal rot. Hell, who would have expected that when they read every year in Pravada that production in everything is up 200%.

"What do you mean we lost the cold war, our economy is 10,000 percent better then when we started?"

Communism has to lie to itself keep itself going, becasue nothing in any communist state works like they say it does. The sad thing is that so many people not at the top actually believed it worked, becasue they were told it did. There is a reason there are no true communist states, becasue it is pure fiction, of the same intellectual level of My Little Pony.
