The leaders are all powerhungry tyrants but if pure people were found who just wanted a better scociety then whatever country praticed this form of government would quickly excell the others in all factors. Still one problem wold be that the country would have to survive independantly because no trade imbargo would be accepted by most countries because they would still want money. Also a classles scosiety would be the perfect way of eliminating crime and poverty. [to read more of my opinions read my full report on the T4 website]

For example, Right and Left are just terms we use against each other. Didn't you people know that Fascism is very much like Socialism. http://www.tfp.org/what_we_think/fascism.html The unconditioned, intelligent, open minded will see this. The biggest irony is for a Left winger to call somebody who doesn't agree with them a "Fascist". This is like "the pot calling the kettle black". MARXISM, SOCIALISM, AND FASCISM ARE JUST LETTERS BELONGING TO THE SAME COIN. But just like warring siblings, they tend to call each other names, and while their tactics might be slightly different,---THE END IS THE SAME--------DISASTER. Yes, one thing common to all Socialist states has been its inability to deliver what Socialism promises and redistributing poverty and famine. And, the Leftist inept and obtuse keep on revising and reclassifying themselves to justify the dismal failures of their Socialism in its many different forms. One tactic of liberals is to describe Western Europe as "Socialist". THIS IS INCORRECT. Western Europe is a mixture of Capitalism and some Socialism; it's a MIXED ECONOMY----and like any other country or system in this planet, not without their own problems. Western Europe is full of Corporations (http://www.europages.com/en/). So Western Europe can not be "Socialist". You see, Leftists don't have much of an argument on anything that's factual or based on reality, that's why everything to them has to be "relative". One of the tactics of the Socialist is to point out the imperfections of "Capitalis ... [read the rest of this lengthy post]

If we adopted a pure communist system at least everyone would be in the same boat. however... who would we have then to lead us, keep civil law, etc. i believe in communism, and i suppose u could call me a communist for my belief in the theory of it all, but i still realise that pure communism will fail through lack of a leading body of people.finally, surely we should not put a 'scientific definition' on communism or any other system of living, not class things and so on, because if we cannot achieve a state of the real definition of a system, then the definition is invalid, and not true.
