Yes. I would like to know what nations have tried communism without a dictator, and failed.

As you so cleverly pointed out communism = dictatorship so its a moot point. No nation will ever be communist without a dictator, thats just a fact of life. Communism breeds greed and power hunger. Sorry communism fails.

LOL! I take it you don't know what != means as opposed to =

While it hasn't totally yet, tho it isn't particularly stable

I think practically all forms of communism that have been practiced though history has had a state present, i'm not entirely share if thats an official aspect of Communism but its certainly not what Marx envisioned when he came up with the ideologies' framework. In that respect, every communist reaisheme has failed, there is still a governing body that have it slightly easier

Oh sorry not totally down with all the hip elingo.

crap, wrote more to that but forgot to copy it when i reloaded the page

abridged of what i typed, all aspects of socialism and communism are poor thinking, total equality is poorly backed up with reasons to why it is superior over meritocracy

A) What is your idea of a superior establishment? Is it the same as mine?

B) There are also many poor reasons as to why communism doesn't work.

Personally, I wouldn't invade anyone.. lol, don't see the point in it!

I watched this a while ago, a lot of people have seen it, but maybe you haven't.. Basically it is some stupid Americans talking about the world, at one point they are asked who they want to invade next. I'm not sure how to make the video come up on the page and how to do any of the special link things so I will just post the URL!

YouTube - Americans are NOT stupid - WITH SUBTITLES


have a watch and see what some American's think.. And also laugh at how embarassing it is for the Americans.

A dictator government can take the form of a small group in tight control of the government.
The late Soviet Union is an example of this. It was not always under the thumb of Stalin. After Stalin it was still an oppressive form of government ruled by the politburo.
Then you have the nations like Vietnam, Cuba, N. Korea etc. Communism has failed when tried. It seems viable in theory but in practice it gives too much power to a government.

And not enough power to the people.

The only real power to people is the vote. As long as it is a real vote.

Yea unfortunately in our country here, not enough informed people vote. Just a mass of mindless sheep that follow what CNN, CBS, NBC, and all the other liberal media outlets tell them.

I'm not sure what your are, i didn't read all of this thread so i may have missed them, my opinions of society reflect Classical conservatism the closest, I believe state control should be much tighter and share there views over a welfare state

Is this true regardless who they vote for?

Sure but I guarantee majority of those votes goto democrats.. Especially from inner cities.
