It’s crazy how paranoid people get from just mentioning communism. People are so ready and desperate to let it known they’re not communist.

It’s like mk ultra. The word communism is a trigger.

Lots of anti soviet propaganda and misinformation espacially in the USA and espacially during the cold war.

So much no one knows what communism actually means.

If you think communism is so great, go live in one. I hear North Korea is beautiful this time of year and you will be happy to know that your preferred candidate will win every time.

I did and that is why I am not a communist.

[ChefPapiChulo]

I have no idea what that means. Tbh I don’t think you know what communism is. You’re the perfect person to answer this question, but not articulate enough to explain why you think, what you do.

[Snakeyes7]

I was able to read how communism is carried out and doesn't work. If you make everyone equally wealthy there is no motivation to work other than the threat of death or imprisonment. Communism will always be inevitably corrupt.

[ChefPapiChulo]

This question isn’t what communism is. Because you definitely don’t know. But why do people act so paranoid and weird when someone mentions it? Look at your original post.

[Snakeyes7]

Because it causes nothing but the slaughtering of innocent people and miserable living altogether.

[ChefPapiChulo]

And that makes you act weird and paranoid? You’re unawarely providing me a lot of information.

[Snakeyes7]

Information you asked for. If my explanation isn't good enough for you, go live in Cuba or North Korea and you will either see why people hate and you will never be allowed to leave or you will love it so much you don't want to leave even if they are keeping you in.

[ChefPapiChulo]

You’re not even answering the question. You are either unable to read, or you’re simultaneously proving my point, or both.

Probably because it’s resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of people.

Buuuuut I wouldn’t expect you to know anything about that. Why would you? Ignorance is bliss and you’re as happy as a mongoloid licking a window.
