china loving sucks because it's warped everyone's view of communism. every handicapped conservative out there thinks china communism is real communism and debates based on that.
Communism is a failed ideology. All of the countries that have attempted communism have gotten to the socialism stage and have then gone to stuff. The powers of the economic elite are transferred to a party which usually ends up being dominated by a dictator.
They have to divert resources to a military and securing civil unrest instead of using the resources for a better cause likes its people. The party members soak up huge funds meant for other projects and the country has to spend massive amounts of money keeping capitalist influences at bay and also cuts off trade with capitalist countries.
Communism tries to create a utopia but what it fails to do is realize that technology and the use of this technology to create abundance creates a higher standard of living. Instead it still operates under monetary standards only favoring the working class and having the state control virtually all assets.
