Communism is not wrong because it has never worked. It is wrong because it is a war on the natural order; a war on the very nature of man. It is promoted by compulsion driven neurotics, who hate reality; used by demagogues for self aggrandizement; and appeals only to people who have lost the ability to even trust their own observations.

Collectivist/egalitarianism is the ultimate mischief maker in human society over recent centuries. (See The Greatest Mischief Ever Wrought.) It is a common mistake to consider it to be idealistic. It is anything but.

Well stated, plus it doesn’t work.

communism is a subjective moral system. the whims of men determine right and wrong, what too much or too little is, what a need is, what a want is, what you should have, what you shouldn’t, where you live, what job you have, what medical treatment you can or can’t have.

i go for objective moral systems. we may have to interpret them in certain fringe situations but the golden rule pretty much is easy enough for everyone to understand.
