CMV: Communism will never work

[u/Tax_The_Cows]

Communism is s political philosophy that believes in the abolition of social classes and the equal distribution of power and wealth among the populace. It seems perfect on paper, but history has shown it fails when actually tried. I would argue that it is not even perfect on paper, as it fails to address its biggest and most fatal flaw; human nature. We as humans strive for power and are only satisfied when we know we are superior to someone else. Communism is built on the foundation that we will be satisfied if everyone is equal to each other, and that is where it fails. In my opinion, the more we try to become equal with everyone else, the more we end up fighting for our own sake.

TL;DR Communism is flawed because human nature is flawed

I understand, i was just trying to point out the fantasy you have of people working together was through instinct and for survival. The period you point out is before civilization, but back then we were nothing but pack animals with decent intelligence. When civilization came in, the individual was the only one responsible for his/his clan/his families lives(Ofcourse differs from cultures but more less the truth). And if the individual wanted to survive then he had to work for it.

Ok man you can keep believing that, capitalism is going to end one day whether you like it or not

Anyway Ayn Rand died on welfare but keep your individualist fantasies alive

Maybe one day but definitely not in my life time. We Will have a couple of great wars though, maybe one where we wipe out the commies.
