Why are American's Bred to Hate Communism

[Shinoda]

Blame McCarthy.

The idea behind Communism is a very good one, but in practice gets tainted.

 

[Daily]

Communism doesn't work because its human nature to strive to be better than everyone else.

Everyone hates communism simply because while in theory it is a good idea (IMO Socialism is better) however a communist country can never survive. In the end there will ALWAYS be a leader or someone who wants to be in power which will then RUIN the possibility of it working.

The Soviet union was NOT truly communist in that they still had a leader and an army with a general etc. If it was a COMMUNIST society each army member would have had equal power and there would have been no leaders..

so in short people don't hate communism. They just know it cant work.

comunisn is sick, people who are communist take everything from the people keep 80% of it then give a little back so everyone is poor and powerless, plus they usally do lots of other sick stuff like uthanasia

Dude, that is NOT what communism is AT ALL. Communism is where EVERYTHING is divided equally among EVERYONE. What you are talking about is how communism ends up once we try and put it into practise. Also Euthanasia isn't a "sick" thing. I personally believe it should be legalised in certain cases... But thats a whole nother topic.

True communism has not existed yet, and will not for quite some time. I believe Marx theorized that true communism (workers control the means of production) will only exist after socialism ceases to exist, which in turn comes in to play after capitalism falls (give it another <50 years).

And human nature has not been proven to exist. Only our upbringings determine our thoughts (and therefore actions) for the future.

Communism WILL work in another <100 years or so (assuming we don't destroy ourselves before that time).
