I suppose people being put in gulags etc in the USSR was "just a different way of living" then?
Lol, great arguing technique, perhaps since I'm left wing youd like to compare me to hitler as as well?
I'm sorry but Gulags are not an inherent part of communism
Why has every communist state, EVER had them in some shape or form then?

I see no reason why he shouldn't be able to keep the rest $82,500 dollars as a reward.
OK how about "Because other people are in need of that money"!!!
Isn't that a good reason he shouldnt get to keep the money?
So you suggest just stealing all that money off them? Progressive taxation is a necessary evil but stealing ALL the money is just too far
Lol its not stealing, its just a different way of living, does a wife steal from a husband when she uses the money hes earnt to buy herself food? No of course not, its called sharing.
And as for life not being fair, its only not fair if we dont make it fair.

Life isn't "fair" and no-one can make it "fair", no matter how much you punish people for being successful

Doctors are in demand because unfortunately most people will suffer from disease. Doctors are low in numbers because there aren't enough university places to meet with supply; it remains true only 1 out of 10 applicants will receive a place in through UCAS. There are more than enough students in both of our countries who want to be doctors - the situation you described simply does not exist.
I'm not saying only 1 in 10 are good enough but are you seriously saying every single person who applies is good enough and should all get places?

How the hell is "libertarian socialism" possible? left-wing economics require a strong state to enforce, which is the opposite to libertarianism
Couldn't really follow that due to your sloppy English. But are you trying to say insituting a libertarian society cannot be done in a "strong" (your word choice, so ambiguous) state?
Maybe I should've used the word "intrusive" rather than "strong"
That info doesn't answer my question. ^^^
Yes. (I agree with assasin that "Libertarian socialism" is a paradox)
Agreeing that socialism is a paradox doesn't answer my question lawl.
I'll ask it again: Are you trying to say instituting a libertarian society cannot be done in a "intrusive"(strange word choice) state?
Yes, because the main point of libertarianism is the government staying out of people's lives.

Even worse than communism
-
The Americas were colonised before Marx was even born... I don't know much about the native Americans but if they did have some form of system where the tribes shared out all their resources equally it's nothing to do with communism.
-
Well. Communism worked quite well for the Native Americans.
Funniest comment I've read on one of these ridiculous threads

Why is there a thread about communism every week anyway? I suppose it is funny to watch wannabe tinpot dictators argue with eachother though.
Link me to another "communism thread", and don't spam. And discussion of a type of politics doesn't make anyone here a wanna-be dictator, or even communist at all. :thumbdown:
Anyways, at the whole baggers vs. doctors debate-
People want to be happy, they want to be content and without bore the most possible. Does becoming a bagger, and bagging for the rest of your life really sound fun to you? In a communistic government money is irrelevant when it comes to careers, its only about interest, enjoyment and servitude. Who do you think would be more respected? Who, generally speaking, would be more content with his or her job?
There would be an obvious social hierarchy, but instead of the main variable being earnings, it would most likely be based upon skill, servitude and the impact in which the job has on society more so than in a capitalist economy.
Other "communism threads":
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=774938&hilit=communism (I haven't bothered to read it all but judging from the posts which I have read, it turned into one)
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=773343&hilit=communism (see above)
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=771419&p=6275679&hilit=communism#p6275679 (and again)
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=770726&hilit=communism (same as above, but specifically about socialism/communism rather than turning into one)
I can find more if you'd like
Communism benefits no-one except the central planners who run it.
Yeah, that really made me lul at the sheer lack of logic. If you were to make a thread about something like....."The vows of marriage", but then I said that there are too many threads about marriage and or vows and linked you to a thread about Gay marriage, The Definition of Love, and the laws regarding marriages. Its pretty idiotic.
All the threads I linked to are VERY similar in content to this one.

Everyone who quit was replaced with 5 10 year olds from mini-clip
You mean people like you?
I quit RS and got a life 2 years ago, now go back to cutting your pixel trees.
If you're literate, then you'd notice that I don't play
Nice 1693 hours of runescape in your sig?
That's over a year old?
NOTICE: All time
It means I haven't played any games more than that
And I left the client running over night when I couldn't be assed to turn my computer off
Stop trying to deny the fact you still play RS.

As for your answer of yes to my question, what to you is fair about a doctor doing years of hard study to earn $X a week if a grocery bagger can earn the same on a little bit of relatively easy training? You can see what I'm saying here, can't you?
It's fair if there is no greed, which communism assumes.
I'd say communism is more "greedy" than capitalism, to be honest.
-
people would still take the more difficult jobs out of interest.
Rubbish.

A capitalist economy works out fine for the United States,
No, it doesn't. If America was a socialist or even communist nation, the economy probably wouldn't have crashed, because you wouldn't have been allowed to do the things that caused the economy to crash. (Giving people loans that they can't afford, etc.- If I remember right Bush voted for the deregulation of the financhial market which allowed just that.)
The whole argument that all problems in the economy (recessions etc) would come to an end in a command economy is a joke.

oops double post

Communism and any form of freedom cannot exist side-by-side, and no it isn't "good on paper" (although all manifestations of it in the real world, have being worse than how it "is on paper")

He won't get 38 years.
He will find it extremely difficult to get a decent job though (and probably impossible to get into University)

correction, "after Islam, which will be the next big religion."
yes, a higher percentage of the worlds population is Muslim than any other. i bet a few people were pretty pissed when they found out, though. :lol:
but please... don't make me go find the news article... it'll take ages....
I remember reading a while ago that although Islam just took over Roman Catholicism, Christianity as a whole is still larger than Islam.
Communism - Yea or Nay?

Difference: marriage is by choice. The main reason why communism is impossible is because it'd require everyone to agree with it (or to be forced to agree with it).
