Why Communism Shows the Potential for Evil Within us all

In America if you lived in the 50's or if your old enough to remeber politcs up through the early 90's then you probably have a skewed view on communism. most likely if you got all your 'facts' and information from the propaganda machine that is the TV media you believe communism is inherantly evil and anything associated with communism is evil. even if you don't feel it's evil most likely the belief still leaves a bad taste in your mouth. this isn't your fault and no matter how objective you consider yourself to be in world politics, your not. your as objective as the big news outlets want you to be. your essentially programed to hate communists and Isalm and any belief system that does not go along with our christo-semetic government. if a person were to say, when asked what politcal party they belonged to, communist then most people in America would look disdainfully at them or at least they would begin to question the integrity of the person regardless gain of how objective they considered themselves. thats enough about that, now back to communism.

On paper communism is basically one of the best forms of governent, most unbias politcal analysts will at least bow to that. however each time the system has tried to be implemented it has caused more harm then good. well then if its good on paper why isnt it good in real life? what makes it fail and almost always turn into a dictatorship? what is the missing part of the eqaution?? the missing item is human nature. the founder(s) of communism set up the system believing in the good of all humans. if everyone works together imagine what we can accomplish. it makes sense everyone works equally and everyone gets an equal share of the hypothetical pie (mmmm pie). the founder(s) simply believed that it would just work with very little prodding needed, maybe a light government to get it started but eventually it start working on its own. they didnt count on however the inherant need for domination and power within us all. and the lazyness of us all.

If you take one thing away from this as far as what communism is about the one thing should be 'a clasless society' right now in the US and precommunist Russia there are/were classes. low,middle and upper. of course contrary to what you may think it was the middle class not the low class that gets screwed. the government helps out the low class becuase they want to feel like theyre doing some good. they obviously help upperclass citizens because thats what the government is made of. but the government leaves the middle class alone to handle themselves since they arnt lowclass and arnt upperclass. only problem is without help most end up as low class. communism sought to correct this by making a single class that was somewhere between low and middle. they figured if everyone was the same no one could complain and everyone would work and be happy. communism stresses togetherness over the individual. now this is where human nature comes in.

making everyone one class and have everyone do the same thing and make the same amount adfds up to people being unhappy. especially at the start. nobody who was originally making $200000 a year for 70hour weeks would give that up to work less but to make less. the whole reaso nthey were working harder i nthe first place was to make more. then if you try telling a farmer your 25 acres are going to be dived between 5 families theyed be outraged. noone wants to give up what they have even if it helps out theyre fellow man, why do charities make less than the average football player?? why are theyre so many poor i nthis country when we have so many people who if they simple took a pay cut that may seem big but not cruel and put it in a fund for a few years could solve our deficit and set up a poverty fund? its simple. people are inhernetly selfish.now some people manage to overcome this and give to the world and most are reconized for this but the majority no matter how unselfish they claim to be regardless of the pennies they donate are still selfish. people want whats best for them no matter who it hurts or doesnt help.

When a communist government comes into play its suppossed to be a minimul tribunal of intelligent politcal players who are only there to jumpstart things. they set up communes and divy up the land and divy up everything. however when things get started after revots and such are quashed people start to look to their government to basically step down. but this never happens. people in power are very reluctant to give it up and most would rather die than lose their position. it happens to all of us. its human nature.

you can take whatever you want from this blog. i hope i opened your eyes a bit to the fact that its not the government style thats evil, its people, and people in the government. if a form of government that is based off of beliving in the good of man and the nature of helping your fellow man fails every time then what does that say about mankind??

Question: What are your views on Communism and human nature? has this blog changed or altered your beliefs??

Please capitalize each sentence, not just the first letter of each paragraph. I was pretty interested in your topic, but it's a bit difficult to read. If you look at the advice offered by moderators and alumni you will see that proper grammar and punctuation count for a whole lot around here.
