Why is this the image people think of

why do people think of Communist as evil people?

this is a joke.
there is anothere one for capitalism just as bad.

There was an original one that says "When you download music, you're downloading communism"

I always liked the "When you pay for mp3's, you're rocking out with the man" one; but as to why people hate communism, especially in the US is in my opinion because anti-communism appeals to American Exceptionalism.

communism= red bastards
usa,usa,usa,usa= blue bests

.....I program Open Source

pretty Ironic because I am coding some rite now..........Open source is the greatest invention ever, even I find that propeganda/joke(or what ever) somewhat offensive.

One of the american anti-piracy propoganda

well I wasn't really saying that particular propaganda, I meant the interpretation of communist as evil.

Communism sucks. Ignoring the fact that we've yet to see a country succeed with it, and that it's one of the more destructive forces of the 20th century, forced equality was just a bad idea.

I like the image. Since most people are downloading music illegaly, this suggests that they support communism, hence, most people are supporters of communism!

A beautiful thought!

Well we have yet to see any Communist nation. How can we tell?

How the fuck can you tell when something sucks if you have never seen or experienced it? Just in one way: When the nature of that you haven't put your senses in contact with is against you.

That is, if you hate communism, you do it by its nature and that means you hate equalty, you hate classless societies, you hate mutual asistance, among other things.

"It's one of the most destructive forces of the 20th century", if it was never applied nationwide in any country.... how can it be a destructive force? How can it be a force at all?

He's stating that communism sucks. He has never seen it, it hasn't even been applied in any majour populational concentration. How can he say it sucks? Just by disagreeing with its nature.

Quote :

This phrase implies that "we have yet to see a country suceeding with communism", that means we're yet to see a succesful nation with communism, not a nation with a succesful communism. You get the difference?

Quote :

"It's", he means it exists or has existed and that even it was a destructive force.

So, if communism has never existed world or nationwide, how the hell can it be a destructive force? And moreover, one of the most destructive forces of a whole century.

Now, you're probably right that he may have tried to imply what you said. If so, then he expressed it quite wrongly. And, in that case, the "attempts" have been examples of capitalism and do not qualify as communism.

Its true, I can understand he is not an english speaker by birth, but he does not understand nearly anything being said

Demonstrating that you have even less knowledge of communism than your average (right)libertarian.

At no point has any communist (using the standard definition of the word) avocated 'forced' equality, in fact the whole "communism=absolute material equality" argument is a poorly constructed strawman.

just thought ill post it

sorry i had to add it lol

You did well

lol, awesome!

And as I said, most people (epsecially in America) have not even experienced ANY so-called "communism", so they have absolutely NO right to speak.

And if I remember correctly, true communism NEVER forced others to do what they didn't like. EVER.

he was saying that the dream of communism tore cuntryes apart not that commie baddies kill all.

That's because those "communists" never had a dream to treat everybody kindly. They were state capitalists in disguise, merely using the name of communism.

For example, if I looked like the most evilest person in the world but in reality, was perhaps the most kindest, I'm not evil.

Merely a misconception.

I think the millions of people that died in Russian camps will surely disagree.

Because I like to excercise freedoms. You wouldn't know about those, you're a pinko. Also, if it hasn't been applied to any major population, then what evidence have you to support it?

Just by agreeing with it's nature.

Either way, no evidence to say it's a good idea, just tons to say it isn't, like China.

Ah, the famous communist tactic of re-writing history in its favor. Also, don't tell people what I mean. I mean what I say.

Key word there is "IF". It did exist. It was destructive. It killed lotsa people. Stalin killed more people than Hitler.

So says the man who manufactured that syntactically inferior sentence.

Does anyone have a slightest clue by what he means by this? Whos' he referring to? What is he referencing? It's all jibberish!

What would you call a violent uprising of the proletariat against the upper classes in order to maintain a classless society?

No, it's one that aptly describes practiced communism.

Yes, we'll treat everyone with kindness, share everything, work to our ability and take what we need, and we'll all be a happy utopian society. Fuck that, I'll take what's mine and earn what I can.

Yeah, but if you are a nice guy that looks and is perceived as mean, you really have to look at yourself and decide what's going on so people are perceiving you that way. One thing is for sure, you are going to have to work hard at not being perceived that way. In a capitalist society (read: good) you are responsible for how others perceive you. Personal responsibility may seem threatening, but I'll be damned if I'm going to enjoy prosperity on someone elses dime, or worse, everybodies dime.
