Are you anticommunist/anti-Marxist?

[DC Al Fine]

Lol communists

[Murica!]

Lol orthodox trotskyites

FTFY

[OSR stands with Israel]

Lol communists

They hate money so North Korea's Graph looks more impressive to them

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Citizens of Good Korea don't need to produce wealth. All their needs are provided for as they are fed on the milk of Dear Leader.


Western Imperialists may see deprivation.  We see everyone getting to bed on time.

[Leinad]

Vague question.

I'm against communism, of course. Humans are too fudged up to become a utopia, and if we were, violent extremist statism is obviously the wrong way to create one.

But I'm not a McCarthyist, which is what this question makes me think of. I fully support the rights of people to say things I disagree with, whether that's Rick Santorum, TNF, or anyone else, just as staunchly as I may disagree with them on specific issues. The US is a nation founded on free speech, a value all nations should aspire to, and actions our government has throughout our history to limit it, even for supposedly good causes, are more "Un-American" than an ideology can be.

And defending North Korea? That's bat[crap] crazy even for TNF's standards.

[Gustaf]

No, I am pro-communist/pro-Marxist, because I favor the emancipation of mankind from the shackles of capitalist exploitation, religious dogma, etc, etc.

To those of you who say communism is dead and buried, I'd point you to the five states which are ruled by communist parties and which remain alive and well in the 21st Century, in spite of their bureaucratic deformations. One of those is the People's Republic of China, which in spite of market reforms still has its core industries under state ownership and utilizes economic planning to drive growth. It has performed fairly spectacularly over the past few decades and poses enough of a threat to the bourgeois powers that they've begun to engage in strategies to isolate it (Pivot to Asia, Transpacific Partnership, etc., etc.).

Likewise, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the Republic of Cuba, The Democratic Republic of Laos, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam all still stand today as testaments to the superiority of planned economies compared to the anarchy of the capitalist market system. In these countries, medical care, housing, and education are guaranteed and not dependent upon who your parents were, where you hail from, or what accent you speak with. In short, these countries have done what the capitalist system will never do, i.e. create a fully functioning welfare state that won't be rolled back the next time a right-wing (or 'left-wing' social democratic/eurocommunist) party is elected to government.

These countries suffer from bureaucratic deformities and unfortunately are run by Stalinist bureaucracies that deny their populations the right to fully participate in the planning of production and likewise have defects in that they promote stupid, parochial nationalisms as opposed to internationalist politics. But even so, they represent a massive advance compared to capitalist 'democracies' where the only freedom you are guaranteed is the 'freedom' to be a slave to some nonworking parasite.

Hopefully in the 21st Century we'll see political revolution in the states where capitalism has already been overthrown and the subsequent introduction of real workers' democracy there. And likewise, hopefully we'll also see new October Revolutions in the places where capitalism has yet to be overthrown.

Jesus, fck off. I know that "go live in North Korea" a bit of a cliche but it's actually applicable here. I'd like you to tell a North Korean work camp prisoner that you envy how their life is so much better and wish you were in their position. Right before you return to your privileged life in a capitalist democracy, of course.

Privileged communists are pretty funny IMO.  We can have a debate about social democracy vs. a more "pure" free market system, but I don't see how anyone could argue in good faith for Communism in light of its many, many massive failures.

I'm a right-winger; so, obviously, I am very much anti-communist. I am opposed to communism both in theory and in practice.

The biggest irony is that some of his videos praising North Korea and Communism have ads.

No!

[S019]

Yes, I am

I don't support communism, at all, it just devolves into dictatorship. I also oppose it in theory. I believe that capitalism is the best system

[John Dule]

Communists don't respect the basic right that others have to own their own bodies, so they shouldn't expect that right in return. Therefore they don't deserve human rights.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

We are all Marxists.

[AGA]

Of course (sane)

[BP🌹]

Yes, I am

Dictatorship of the proletariat > bourgeois democracy

[Tender Branson]

No.

There are types of Communism which I support, such as the Graz and Styria Communists.

[John Dule]

Dictatorship of the proletariat > bourgeois democracy

> Implying there's any difference

[LAKISYLVANIA]

Let's first define communism / marxism. Are they the same. Is my party communist. Are there subbranches of marxism acceptable? There is a huge difference between them.

I'm anti-stalininist, anti-maoist and anti-marxist-leninist. I'm however not necessarily anti-communist. I'm member of a marxist party, and call myself a democratic socialist.
