This is something I find odd. There are allot of communist groups on Lemmy and more and more Americans think they like communism probably because they don’t even know what it is. However what’s funny is there has never been and is currently NO communist countries in existence.(FULL COMMUNIST) Literally.
It is an actual imaginative concept and its just strange none of these people realize it. I don’t care if you’re communist. But just do it, like make it happen so you all can see the flaws in it and realize its wishful thinking.
I’ll tell you why communism doesn’t work. It’s missing the root word (community) you all don’t come together outside of online groups and occasional marches.
So have you noticed this?
UPDATE: Not one country named yet. Some odd reason capitalism is being argued about. Deflection? Who knows. The question has come to a conclusion the answer is communist in fact do not know that communism is not a thing in the real world. Thank you all for your statements, positive and negative. I will no longer engage in this post amongst you.
“Communist” countries fail because of Vanguardism. Putting all your power into one organization, and that organization puts all their powers into just a few individuals, sometimes just one person; I mean… its a recipe for disaster. No one can be trusted with that amount of power.
Good point. For a community to have one leader is antithetical and shows they aren’t even implementing their own system
Although as another commenter pointed out, see Rojava. Or the Autonomous Zapatista Provinces, although the two are quite different in many respects.
