That's an unnecessary politically charged remark, bordering on flamebait, IMO. Discussing communism is interesting, but this really isn't the place for it, and anyone who strongly disagrees with your remark has to either let it slide or enter into a completely tangential discussion.
- dennisnedry 12y agoWhat are you talking about? It was an example, nothing more.
- cheapsteak 12y agoIt was a poor example. Does the fall of Rome prove that republics/democracies suck? Does Chernobyl and Fukushima prove nuclear power sucks? Electric cars, smartphones, personal computers, there are so many things that sucked before someone figured out how to get things right. There's always more than one factor in play, and there are many arguments to be made on the viability of Communism, perhaps it was just ahead of its time.
- avn2109 12y agoAll of these things are different from communism because there are examples of success. e.g. there are plenty of good democracies/republics (Denmark/Finland/Sweden/Japan) and plenty of good nuclear plants (all the French ones), etc.
