Real life Communism

Communism can be intoxicating to many out there. In a utopian communist society everyone has what they need and no one is treated poorly. The statement "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" sounds great on paper and many young people and liberals find it appealing.No critical thinking has to be done and the facts of real life are ignored. Only emotional responses are needed.

This website I found tells you what Communism is like in real life and what can, could, and would happen if Socialism/Communism is allowed in the real world.

While I'm not completely sold on her Objectivist philosophy, (laissez-faire capitalism must be universal in order to succeed), it's a damn-sight better than communism. She would know; she experienced Soviet Russia first-hand.

I don't know about you, but I'm not busting my ass sixty hours a week in the office if I can sit on it doing nothing productive and still receive the same compensation. For some reason the red lefties, Soviet apologists, and students in Che t-shirts never seem to understand that bit. Probably because they've never had to actually work for a living. They think mid-terms are stressful and slinging hash at the local chain restaurant is a job. Or worse, they think being an "artist" is a job. Ha!

Try putting together and submitting a multi-million dollar construction bid; your pucker factor climbs to the level that it sucks your chair into your colon. If you actually win the bid, then your desk, carpet and fake plants follow the chair -- because you probably missed something important on the bid. (Don't laugh; that's true as often as not in estimating.)

Then you get to spend a couple years hoping the project somehow makes money and you get to keep your job.

That's why I have big bottles of liquor at home.
