We get it, communism is bad.

[ret5hd]

1. FIRE BAD!!!

[CubsFan1982]

2. So why are DUers defending it?

Why is Communism preferable to a liberal democracy?

[jim3775]

4. Give it a rest. Ok. n/t

[jim3775]

7. When did I defend communism?

Please, since you know better than I do, indicate where I defended communist dictatorships.

Aslo, please tell me when I wrote that a communist dictatorship is preferable to democracy.

My memory must be failing me because i don't remember writing anything even close to that.

3. "It's bad ... IT'S BAAAAD!!!"

5. It's weird because the other day someone posted a pro-communist thread...

...and there seemed to be many more people who agreed with it. It's like, whoever starts the thread gets their adherents replying, and the rest just move along.

For the record, communism doesn't work.

[JimmyJazz]

9. and capitalism is working for you?

:shrug:

[LoZoccolo]

10. It doesn't have to...

...to be better than communism.

[JimmyJazz]

12. So you've read the communist manifesto and are familiar with it

outside of military economies? Or you just know that communism is bad, capitalism is good?

[LoZoccolo]

14. Yes, I have a copy of it right here.

The modern bourgeois society that has sprouted from the ruins of deudal society has not done away with class antagonisms. It has only established new classes, new conditions of oppression, new forms of struggle in place of the old ones.

Etcetera, etcetera.

[LoZoccolo]

15. Also, that's another false opposition.

Just because a lot of people who don't know much about it think it's bad, doesn't mean that someone who does know about it won't think it's bad.

6. yeah i know, i saw that but didn't have the heart to tell them...

'democracy' hasn't really been tried in real life either :rofl:

[Ekirh]

8. Communism is Bad?

11. But you see comrade, the people's revolutionary spirit will

never be defeated. It will once again rise to defeat the imperialist warmongering capitalists who seek to oppress us.

[bridgit]

13. da, comrade...

;-) :hide:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

16. You see, the proletariat owning the means of production

engenders class consciousness in which the dictatorship of the proletariat will during supply and demand.

[bridgit]

17. da, an end, however gentle, to the contemporaneously applied...

[bridgit]

19. which is why his notions need stop affecting...

our foreign policy to this day imo

[Crazy Guggenheim]

20. You are learning well comrade. I think this is a good time for

a yak thread!!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

23. Now isn't that better!!

[More Than A Feeling]

21. Wow, that second poster is pretty depressing.

The propaganda has gone way down in quality.

[Guy Fawkes]

24. It's GD...

is there really any point in it? The lounge is still the best forum.

[Bluebear]

25. Yeah, we try.

It's not entertaining in the style of the lounge but a lot of us who post in GD as well are trying to make a difference, even if keeping each other informed and engaged.
