Unfortunately communism will never work. Human nature gets in the way. Somebody will always want more than someone else.

The trick is to have a socialized republic.



Capitalism ftw. I'd rather have the chance of being successful in life (along with the chance of complete and utter failure) than the guarantee of a shitty existence.



Soriku ...
When I finally start to have some hope in you, you make a thread like this ...
Do not say things like this, you have no idea what communism is like. Do not accept simplistic explanations or let other push into you their ideals.
Make a research on real communism, look for Russia, China and Cuba.

They have this billboard that occasionally pops up near the Union on LSU's campus. It's basically there for people to write whatever they want, whatever comes to mind. One day I was walking by and saw that somebody had written, "Cuba has a 0% unemployment rate. Why can't we?" I almost died laughing. Yes, let's all live the wonderful lives of the Cubans.

Communism looks great on paper, and that's about the only time it looks even passable. I'm all for any kind of totalitarian government as long as I'm the one in charge.

 I'm cool with that as long as I'm your top general.  Then I'll lead a coup!

it works great on paper soriku but just cant work in real life

Communism will always have some people corrupting it and reaping the benefits while others suffer.

You will learn why communism is falling and capitalism is rising based on the the countries of each have faired.

 

CAPITALISM FTW FOREVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVER



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

 It is so full of shit. In Cuba, some women sell their bodies for less tha a McDonald`s meal. Is that they idea of a job. I have heard stories that some of the prostitutes take the clients to their homes where they live with their parents and kids (in most communist countries there was 2-4 families per house).

Cuba has a lot of good things compared to the rest of Latin America (near 0% analfabetism, high life expectancy), but they are so poor that in most houses they use old newspapers as toilet paper. A medic makes less in a month than a guy who run errands into a Hotel (tips in dollars are worth a fortune).
