Kindly explain Communism

and why do you think that is

 

You have to quit being afraid. No one is out to get you.

 

It's based on Marx's definition of "communism". Do you know what that is?

 

So you claim "people here think communism is super awesome" and that "communism has never worked" but you don't know what communism is?

Typical.

 

And that is why politicians keep making the same mistakes and the public lets them do it.

 

Do you take issue with the themes of Animal Farm or something? Orwell was a Democratic socialist, it's not like this is some uber right wing tract, he simply observed that "All men are equal" quickly becomes "but some are more equal than others" in societies like the USSR. It's an attack on Central power, not all socialism.

 

Animal Farm is a novel and a fantasy for Pete's sake. And it has some degree of relevance to what transpired in Russia and China. But a fantasy novel is hardly something to base political life on, right?

 

Fiction often tells us something about the real world. That's particularly the point in Orwell's novels. Read "Why I Write".

"When I sit down to write a book, I do not say to myself, 'I am going to produce a work of art.' I write it because there is some lie that I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention, and my initial concern is to get a hearing."

If you don't think works of fiction have any relevance at all to the real world in their exposition and themes I'm not sure why you'd read at all. Sure, there is no actual animal farm, animals can't talk, etc. That's not the point. It tells us something about ourselves.

That the modern generation has lost sight of this is why so few of them read on a regular basis.

 

Yup, they're too busy texting friends.

 

A bit like us right now

 

LOL!!!!!! Ya got me there.
