Actually, since you would be doing things for the good of the common man and not just to be selfish and greedy like we do now, people may actuallybe more inclined to work hard because they understand that a great number of people are relying on them.Originally Posted by ScottiePimpin33

QFT. I don't know why this is a hard concept for people to grasp. If you tell me I can sit on my $*@ all day, and make the same living as someone who works 15 hour days, why the hell would anyone do anything? People have this ******ed view of communism and socialism, thinking that it will elevate the lower class up to the same level as the upper class, which is in truth $*@ backwards, as all historical evidence, and common sense, shows that the opposite occurs: the upper class is brought down to the lower class. So instead of having a mixture of rich, poor, and people in between, everyone is just poor...except, of course, for the government officials and leaders. Ask youself, if communism is so good, why has it failed everytime a country has tried it?

Russia failed. But Capitalism failed in America long term. Because it was a manipulated form of the actual idea in both instances. I would actually say Communism has worked very well in Cuba especially considering that the main reason they are poor is because the US has enforced a trade embargo that has severely affected there exporting.
