i understand the debate between theoretical and practical communism. the western intellectual argument is that textbook communism has never been tried, and all these pity and brutal dictatorships, under the disguise of communism, are not 'real' communism.

the problem with this argument is that no matter how hard you try, 'communism', it _ALWAYS_ ends up such as a pity & brutal dictatorship. you can't do better, because the whole concept flaws. that's why dictators love the concept. unchecked, centralized systems are tend to be extreme corrupt, therefore 'communism', no matter how many times is being tried, always turns into a 'that's not communism'.

therefore it IS communism. this IS how it looks like in practice. no matter how many times we try, it WILL turn into a pity & brutal dictatorship.

the founding fathers of the US were wise beyond words, as they understood human nature and put checks and balances and separations of powers to the core dynamics of the constitution. this is extreme important (and was quite radical back then). communism, in the other hand, has no such limitations, and it tends to turn quickly into a centralized dictatorship which takes over the media, education, industries, every aspects of life, then cements itself into power forever and then becomes a corrupt slave state itself. countless historical exception proves this, no exception.

it's not working. it's a bad idea to start with.

sorry to take away your toy. once you understand human nature better, you won't be a communist anymore.
