Is Communism such a bad thing?
The idea of communism, in principle, is a good one, and it can be done with democratic elections, freedom of speech etc. However, the faults of man make it so that there is no freedom of speech, no vots, and so on. It will never work, because there is always someone out there who enjoys the power too much, and with no social hiarachy any more, there is no-one to stop them. Your idea of communism is not based on the principle of communism, but on how humans have twisted it to their own uses. If the pure idea of communism was introduced, it would create a better world for us all, but humans will never be able to share equally, or give up the power they crave, making communism the feared mess it is today.
