RE: Why do you think communism is bad?

in #asksteem6 years ago

I think that it is too broad a spectrum as it covers a vast range of ideas. On a local level the custodian idea within DACs is a form of communism. It is analogous to the idea of the Soviet which means little council in Russian. That is something that is people driven. However you also have state backed collectives which is anything but people driven.

The problem with communism is that it attracts extremist zealots and ideologues and that means things like rights get trashed and acceptance of difference of thought is not possible. Unfortunately something similar is occuring in the US with far right pseudo-libertarians who lionise a property-centric form of capitalism rather than a market based and liquidity form.
