>What is your honest opinion of Communism?
May have some logical ground, but overall too early to implement.
I think with technological/social developments all goods will belong to everyone. For example if there will be invented a device that unifies all human minds - instead of 7 billion monkeys we'll become a single conscious organism, a new type of human civilization - why would we care about personal goods after that?

That it's a nice thought, but impossible to implement and maintain without a totalitarian state.
Just like alot of people in this thread mentions, ambition is a part of our nature.
Personaly, I have never met a communist IRL that hasn't envisioned themself playing an important role in this new system, that would elevate their status from where they are in the current one. I would say that communisms greatist flaw, is the extreme sense of collectivism it harbours. It practicly hinders all forms of social mobility, while aiming to erase any sense of individual identity.
>What is the general opinion of Communism in your country?

One of my colleagues from Norway said that the country possesses something like "innate socialism" - at first they were all poor, and then they all suddenly became rather rich (gas and stuff). So I guess for you people things like social equality should be quite natural.

After WW2, we looked both to the east, and the west, trying to combine the best from both capitalism and communism.

>>72106783
>"innate socialism"
Well, kind of. And we do have social equality. The problem with communism, as that if we also had socioeconimic equality, our country would no longer be a meritocracy, destroying all incentive to work hard and being innovative.

That pretty much goes for all of Scandinavia though. This is one of the pillars in the Scandinavian attitude: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Jante

>>72104664
>opinion on communism

My opinion is that every developed country is capitalist. All the richest and most prosperous economies are capitalist.

>>72106629
All Nordic countries are capitalist. Sweden which is the poster-child for a successful "socialist" country:

>Approximately 90% of all resources and companies are privately owned, with a minority of 5% owned by the state and another 5% operating as either consumer or producer cooperatives.[19]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Sweden

The worker co-ops are the workers owning the means of production aka socialism. The vast majority of the methods of production are privately owned for private profit aka capitalism.

When people bring up Nordic countries are successful examples of socialism I cannot facepalm harder. They are really advocating for capitalism with a huge welfare state to go with it which is what Nordic countries are. To abolish private business and private property is economic suicide.

It makes me chuckle because Marx would argue that because these countries are still capitalist, the workers over there are being "exploited" when in fact they have the best living standards in the world.

How do the rich in Norway live? Do they drive around sports cars or are they much more modest with their wealth?
>>
>>72107142
I guess it's common to drive around in sports cars, and go around in a medium sized yatch if you are rich in Norway.
But running around town and flashing your wealth is mostly seen as distastefull, and you would generally be shunned for doing so.
However, if you are REALLY into cars, you would eventually afford an ok sports car with a normal salary. So driving a sports car isn't seen upon as showing off your wealth.

You can afford something like a Ferrari with a regular salary?

>What is your honest opinion of Communism?

>What is the general opinion of Communism in your country?
Our "intellectuals" are working harder and harder to implement this on a basic level, making life hell for capitalists, teaching nothing but marxist bullshit in the universities and making people generally more dependant on the state for their basic needs.

we don't have a static nature apart from the same as any other animal, don't give us that shit. It's just a buzz phrase used by retards. Cultural and societal specifics are not the nature of a species.

We eat, we reproduce and we have this form; that is the only absolute nature that we have. There are specifics on how our brains work but they don't constitute inevitable greediness, greediness itself is a relative and developing concept.

>>72104664
It seems like a solid idea except when you read the Communist Manifesto and see it's meant to be some kind of autistic simplified class battle.

I believe the best way of doing things is to be transparent and constantly refine everything in a statistical, factual and automated fashion. Systems need to adjust to societal climates and to the universe. Through this we get the optimal - constantly changing - system.

One thing is clear however; capitalism is absolute cancer, has stagnated our species, doesn't work very well at all- especially in the present-day and might be our eventual end. At the very least base socialism is a good start.

>Who the fuck tought it was a good idea to give all the responsibility of improving infrastructure to a handful of oligarchs and generals when a bunch of business owners can do a much better job at it.
Might want to learn what communism (and socialism) is, mate. There are no oligarchs, business owners, generals, officials or anyone of the sort in a communist society.

I forgot to mention that House loans, and car loans are very cheap in Norway.
They usually only require that you have about 15-20% the amount you're borrowing, and car loans tend to have around 5% effective annual interest rates that are paid down in 10 years.
So in terms of saving, you could compare it to buying a very small house.

After commie coup in 1948, that murderous bastard Gottwald killed everyone who didn't want to be commies (ie. the vast majority of Czechoslovakia's population) along with all war heroes and patriots. He then killed other commies whom he disagreed with, and as his brain started rotting from alcohol and syphilis, he got more and more paranoid and killed more and more people.

Anyone who own a farm over 5 acres in size or a business was also eliminated as enemies of the working class (they hired people and gave them jobs?) and anyone who listen to jazz or other Western music also get v&. Then Gottwald died and Novotny continues more depressing Stalinism until liberal period in 1960s which was too much for greatest liberator so he decided to "liberate" us in 1968. Then we have more dreary Stalinism until commies get overthrown in 1989.

We had world class industries in 1930s, by 1989 they were totally ruined and we were producing garbage unsellable products. Czechoslovakia GDP in 1989 was about 300 USD above 1938 GDP when Italy and West Germany 1989 GDP was 5000 USD higher than 1938.

The food in commie era was also trash and people get sick from eating it. My mother visited cheese factory in 80s and said she almost puked from the smell. Western countries end up sending us pity food handouts mostly consisting of garbage they wouldn't eat themselves.

>garbage unsellable products
Well, the lab equipment from eastern soviet block (incl. GDR, Hungary, Czech) was quite good - to the point that some of it is still alive and functions. I think it's common sense (at least according to the older generation) that the quality of other goods produced in eastern europe was somehow better than of those made in USSR. If you were producing 'garbage products', you can only imagine what was being made here at the time.

What really irritates me is that in my country now there's some kind of nostalgia for the soviet times. Something like this:

I mean, come on, for fuck's sake, do you honestly think that Soviet government gave any fuck about the common folk?

If you in the middle you fucked under any -ism

The vast majority of people questioned is 40-50 year old farts who were young back then and had little to worry about. It's not a viable measurement of anything.

The only way it would work is if we get Star Trek level technology.

IMHO you can ask anyone over 50 yo from any country and almost everyone will say that 'twas better back then. Basically, yes, that's because they were young and careless and their dicks were still hard.

Everyone here loves communism and wants it back.

It didn't work, try again and create another philosophy.
You can say it has good ideas but it's been co opted by degenerates so take the "good ideas" and put them under another name and we'll see if it works.
Tbh i don't like commies but the USSR was relatively prosperous in the 70s so who am I to say.

The country, not the people. And then the oil prices happened.

Living standard were breddy gud in the 70s tho
But that was the high point of communism and it was all downhill from there

Extremely and violently negative.

Superficially and passively negative.

There has never been any Russian government in all of history that cared about the common folk or saw them as anything but a supply of bodies to carry out the state's plans.

>>72116567
This is the inevitable purpose of all government. Any government that asserts otherwise is being instrumentally deceitful, or is incompetent.

To quote Anwar Sadat:

"The Soviets can build an airplane and send a spacecraft to the Moon, but they cannot make a refrigerator or a pair of shoes. We had many factories in Egypt that they built for us, and they quickly became obsolete because the Soviets have no technology at all apart from the military."

There's no denying that - knowing about the modern Russia, Soviet times, and taking into account some earlier writings from the Russian Empire (Bakunin etc.)

I'm interested in it, I feel like it may become more necessary as automation takes over.

Most Americans don't even understand it. They just hate it because the media tells them to or because of memes.

Although, the usual "Communist" here in the states is an insufferable cunt. Often times they just want it for free stuff and don't like when it doesn't directly benefit them (the white middle class). Many of them are directly against freedom and have many fascist qualities to them. Many are fine with resulting to violence. There's a good picture out there of an "anarcho-Communist" protester burning a sign that say "free speech" on it.

FUCK CAPITALISM AND FUCK WHITE PEOPLE

Communism promise equality and relies on complete cooperation among the people for it to work

The goal of complete equality is dumb, since we're all too different for it to actually be fair. Everyone isn't equally smart, capable or ambitious, so it would be unfair and inefficient to then have a system that gives all of us the same treatment regardless of what we do

The methods that are used to reach this goal is even dumber, since it can't be guaranteed that the ones in charge will use their power to ensure the system is properly applied

The general opinion on communism in Sweden is difficult to estimate, since we don't really have a true understanding of it aside from gender memes. I believe this is the case because communism had to change since the fall of the Berlin wall made the ideology to face an existensial crisis and had to latch on to new victims and sob stories once they lost support from a lot in the working class, hence lefties these days all rave on about migrants, trannies and "genderquestions"

>What is your honest opinion of Communism?
I legitimately cringe when I see some western college dumbfucks praising something they don't have the slightest clue about.

It's literally illegal, for a good reason.

Do poles treat communism the same way Germans treat Natsoc views?

Would you get jailed for wearing a hammer and sicle shirt?

Communism is pretty based.

Propaganda has caused people to view it poorly.
>>
>>72104664
>What is your honest opinion of Communism?
Communism is unachievable. the best we can do is a working socialism.

>What is the general opinion of Communism in your country?

Israel was founded on socialist ideals, but nowadays everyone is generally capitalist.

There is zero public discourse today about communism.

It is a good idea but not if the humans are governing.

communism is inevitable in the future when automation takes a hold. we will have luxury products for everyone. record this post because its true

Reminds me of The Magellanic Cloud by Lem
It was written in 1955 so obviously the communism won in a thousand years but the automation and abundance of literally fucking everything down to bloody whipped cream got me thinking that if we removed the greed out of humanity communism would practically install itself.

>What is your honest opinion of Communism?

Communism was a mistake, it's nothing but garbage

>What is the general opinion of Communism in your country?

Sometimes I wish the leftists would actually try something so the news would be more interesting.

What a beautiful future that would be, Poland the savior of the working class

>Do poles treat communism the same way Germans treat Natsoc views?
You mean legal status or general attitude?
Germs elected Nazis democratically, and with a huge support. Communism in Poland was enforced by Soviets and their lackeys, and was always seen as an unofficial ruskie occupation.
>Would you get jailed for wearing a hammer and sicle shirt?
Yes, just like for any other totalitarian symbol.
>>
>What is your honest opinion of Communism?
Social cancer.
>What is the general opinion of Communism in your country?
Most people do not know what it is, they think it's the same thing as Nazism.
