Vladimir Lenin

Geez bud

Mom: *turns on Fredo show*
Me:

> you were given a car and a house and money
giving people money, imho, devalues the currency and makes them less likely to want to work

No wonder that dude with the Russian name was typing so long

I read it and its bad

why is it bad?

My family has personal ecperience with the soviet union and some of them were poor, while others on my family were highly successfull people

Because I own my own property and it's not some government bs that owns it.

The idea of Communism is a not bad itself but people suck

There's a great book called 'Communism and the Conscience of the West' by Fulton Sheen, it's really informative about the rise of Communism and what it was like.

First half seems like nothing is bad with communism and once they went to private crap bam bad Gorbachev evil and communism provided everything and nobody was poor.

also this
> everything was owned by government, no private businesses
that discourages growth, so while yes, you have less(or no) risk, you also have very little gain

Where?

there were definitely bad things there but nothing ad bad as the propagand regarding the soviet union

So again don't touch my shit and nobody gets hurt.

Communism ain't never communism because there's a leader the pure form of communism is no leader and everybody is equal

communism does not mean everyone is equal

true

England is a monarchy. I believe Finland and Holland are too.

England is a constitutional monarchy

the main idea and focus point of the communist party in soviet russia was that everyone had EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

thats the key word

The queen is just a rich broad with a crown.

No they're not real monarchies as the government is controlled by a parliament. I'm talking about medieval style monarchy

Yeah the queen has very little real power

Bhutan might.

England is a constitutional monarchy so the queen is really just a figurehead of the nation

if you were smart and studied hard in school, you became a doctor or something better than a factory worker, which in turn gave you priveleges

See, that's where the "find the closest to it and go there" part comes in.

but you guys missed the whole point

But they weren't supposed to have leaders Stalin was a power hungry man and a evil person may he rot in hell

I'm fairly certain a bunch of African countries still have a king.

What if I couldn't be a doctor? So screw me because all I can do is factory work?

Yes Stalin was bad

Didn't Stalin kill all the kulaks just because they didn't fit into one of his 5yr plans?

@cloudydread is your point communism horrors were over exaggerated?

they were supposed to have leaders, thats why they had 1 party with a person in charge of the party. the revolution was based on that prinicple

i have several points, but yes they were exxaggerated

I enjoy the freedom to fail

It gives me the chance to change and get better.
