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.

    There are no anything countries.

    Show me a true democracy, a wholly capitalist country, an entirely anything country. There aren’t any.

    This is the reality of living in a complicated world - nothing is black and white.

      Those systems are flawed and inefficient but they a predominant parts of the country, usually integrated through the entirety of the country and enforced by others accepting it or dumb laws making it mandatory. Communism has never been even close this is the difference.

        No it isn’t. There isn’t a difference.

        You asked for an example of a “FULL COMMUNIST” country.

        I’m saying that no-one can for exactly the reason you can’t name a fully democratic country or a fully capitalistic country.

        The truth is people are messy and the world is messier still.

            I promise I’m not trying to wind you up, but I’m not sure what the first sentence means - sorry!

            As for the second, there’re five countries that identify as communist right now - but I’m sure you’re aware of that, otherwise you wouldn’t have put that caveat in the original question.

            China claims to be a third of the way there. You’re going to need to relax for a bit.
