Was Communism worse than nazism???

Was? What do you mean was? When was, was? When it did stop? Seriously.

 

True, but keep in mind, fascism, communism, and socialism are all cut from the same cloth- totalitarian agendas where the people are controlled by a political elite.

 

BTW, I didn't vote on the poll cause to me they're both the same, one is as bad as the other.

 

Ok, communism isn't the most practical system in an economic collapse. In communism, the gov't owns rverything and controls the distribution of resources to the masses, so when you impose communism on the people, you effectively put all your eggs in one basket. If the goverment for whatever reason is unable to direct the flow of resources due to logistic issues general economic issues, or whatever during an economic collapse then not only are you faced with the economic collapse but the collaspe of society in general.

The best and most practical method is an open free market economy where each individual owns his stake in his own existance. When the indivisual is responsible for producing to meet his own needs, its as if each person in the economy has his own micro economy. Farms are traditionally managed by this method. The farm provides for its own needs and there are no worries about the elite minority who hold all the cards. In big gov't societies, when the gov't falters the society fails.

It's unfortunate that modern capitalism has not embraced that logic. In our current capitalist system you have a handful of corporations who in one way or another control the entire economy. As we're seeing with the corporate bail outs, when the corporations fail, the whole economy suffers as a result. This is because of the lack of diversification and allowing elite minorities to control the economis of the entire nation.

Communism is far from the most practical system. A diverse free market economy is by far the best sytem of economics. A fine example of that is the US in WWII, where corporate production was diverted to the war effort and individuals were responsible for their own needs. Victory garden campaigns were widely publicized as a way to help the war effort, by each person planting his own vegatables, it not only freed resources for the war effort, but gave the individual people thier own means of production. It was something that had to be because the corporate/government capitalist system could not support them due to war time diversion of resources.

That diversion was not entirely a bane for the individual citizen, in some circumstances it also helped the individual to secure his own stake. Scrap metal drives were a source of income for many people still trying to earn a living during the waning days of the depression. An old neighbor of mine started his own scrap metal business which gathered steel and then sold it to the government for the war effort, in the post war economic boom and the decades that followed he became one of the largest scrap metal tycoons in the southeast. My point is he did it by diversification of the national economy to the individual who was responsible for his own means of production. And history shows us that it worked out pretty well. Prior to WWII, the US economy was still in the throes of the great dperession, after the war we saw the greatest economic boom of the century. The Soviet Russians, who did not diversify the economy among its citizens did not fare so well. They were in a lumbering big governemt economy before and stayed there in the decades afterwards.
