And in my view, no "real communist" government exists or ever did exist including Stalinist Russia, Mao's China or Castro's Cuba. That's all.

And when I say Kim Jong Il is a fascist who styles himself as a communist, I meant exactly that. He's a fascist. He styles himself a communist. Meaning he merely calls himself a communist. It doesn't mean he really is a communist. In reality, he's a fascist.

I didn't think it was that hard to understand...
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm .......0_O



I wasn't really trying to argue with you, i refer to "you" as whoever reads it. I was sorta expanding on the quoted comment.

To expand on Xantar's points, he is correct. There has never been a true communcist government. Now many may believe that this is because no one has ever wanted to create a truly communist government, I believe it is because communism is so de-humanizing that it collapses under its own weight and turns into facism. I say de-humanizing not to paint it as inherently violent or cruel, but it reduces human beings into numbers and cogs in a vast machine. I don't believe our nature or evolution will ever allow that to take place on a level that we support or find acceptable without coersion.

Marx was a wonderful social critic and his observations about the pitfalls of capitalism are still true to this day, but as a creator of societies and economic alternatives he is an absolute failure. Every attempt to apply his beliefs into a government has not only failed but brought unthinkable horrors to the people it was intended to help.
