    Just ask any Polish person -_- They had curfews.. Forced them to learn Russian. Lenin was pissed when he "saved" Poland from Germany
    and thought the countries would go communist with their country, which they didn't. In turn, he started to take control and there
    was little the other "super powers" could say or do about it due the special circumstances i.e. cold war. I know Poland and Russia has been
    at each other's necks back in 1800s/1900s. They "claim" Ukraine is their's. The Polish president along with military officials mysteriously died
    in an accident not too long ago on a plane with his wife when they went to go see a place in Russia that is said where they executed Polish
    people and have no records of the numbers, and their deaths was blamed on the smoke from the volcanoes? Or something like that? Hell no.
    We all know what happened. It's just undeniable because of the long hate. Even if they aren't officially communist, there's still a lot of tension today.
    I know I went over my head talking about other stuff, but like in this case.. They used harsh tactics along with fear to keep communism driving along until it collapsed
    thankfully on my birth year. Has there has been one instance where communism was used for "good" or put in a proper or good way so far in history? It's all been bloodshed.

    Am I not right? And what happened when parents said anything bad about the government or leaders?
    The kids had to snitch to the military or some official so they can take them away.
    And! To top it off. Communism was accomplish in Russia peacefully. They killed millions of their own people... And that goes no different for China.
    There's the huge distinction between democracy and communism. Democracy wasn't as bad as to sacrifice as communism did. And also the families involved with the communist government make up the majority of the wealthy.. Is that fair? Equal?

    Uhh maybe I'm talking a little out of context with "war"? Democracy may not be as pure as it once was, but it has/had the best way of living.
    Liberty or death, y'know? What's the point in living if you can't live the way you want? You're no different than being dead honestly.
    Also: People living in countries of the post-soviet union were rated in the lowest level of happiness globally compared to the other countries in the world.

    No, you are not right.

    A perfect communism does not exist, but I would prefer a perfect communism over a perfect democracy.
    I'm sure you would, too.

    "to create a classless, moneyless, and stateless social order structured upon common ownership of the means of production, as well as a social, political and economic ideology that aims at the establishment of this social order."

    This means that everyone owns everything, and no one has power over another. You want to use your friend's Lamborghini? Sure! They want to borrow the keys to your house for a day? Sure! Why would you go against your neighbor for his stuff if you already have everything he has? Everyone works the same and earns the same money to buy the same items. You want to do your friends job? Sure! There's enough people in the world to do your job for the day, you can do your friend's! Everyone will work, because what else can you do? Go get drunk? No, in this perfect society, you have everything you want, what's the point in getting drunk? Forgetting about your fantastic life?
    This is the ultimate goal of communism. It is impossible in our world today, but if there is ever a possibility of it being achieved, consider me a communist.

    To follow up; socialism is not communism.

    Socialism is, 'You only get what you need.'
    Communism is, 'EVERYONE gets what they need AND what they want.'
    Communism is a perfect society, with a 'superabundance of material wealth.'

    "In Marxist theory, pure communism is a specific stage of historical development that inevitably emerges from the development of the productive forces that leads to a superabundance of material wealth, allowing for distribution based on need and social relations based on freely associated individuals."
