Communism! It lives!

Communism has been ridiculed by many as one of the most perhaps primitive and inefficient way of managing a government. To which based on history and looking at many countries that has been using this system, it is kind of true. Russia, China (which claims to be communist but seems more non-communist now) etc etc. Now North Korea can't be commented cause no one knows what the hell is going in that country and no one is allowed to know.

Actually communism personally is an ideal way to rule a country. Its a utopia. If you were to think of it, its really system of brotherhood and i really like the concept. Basically whether your a teacher, a garbage man, a farmer or whatever, you all get the same treatment, same food etc. Its the world's most fair and understand system where everyone is the same. Regardless of who and what you are. This may be the solution to all those spoilt Americans whom are always complaining about some stupid sexist or racist or whatever-ist comment. It never ends and this communism may actually be the answer that problem. Being a man of science (studying Bach of Food Science!!!), i have come to learn what happens or is to be predicted in theory does not happen all the time in the practical. If fact it rarely happens. In thoery, everything goes according to the book, there are no variations no other factors involved and its based on calculations of perfect situations. Thus its really nothing but the talk of utopia. In first year, i had to take the damed Chemstry and now microbiology etc and i almost 100% of the time come in contact of non-perfect results (in my case, nearly perfect results most of the time, just missed by an inch). Now why do i not get a "perfect" result, its obvious! Due to the many other factors. Contamination, wrong temperature, too long or short of incubation time etc etc. It all boils down to mistakes or rather imperfection.

Humans by nature are greedy, or so you have heard or read from many sources. I do not disagree with that but i personally do not think by nature we are really greedy. But anyways, the reason why communism does not work is similar to what i have said earlier. Its due to the people involved in it, the people who manage it. No one is perfect thus its right to say we are all imperfect. Even with a perfect running system, all it takes is one stupid person to make a big boo boo (mistake) and it destroys utopia. For the people who like examples, look at a computer, its running fine and stuff but throw in a virus and it stuffs up the computer. Same principle. Surely society and individuals will be unable to run a perfect system correctly, everyone will want to benefit themselves (greed), work less gain more (lazyness) so on and so forth. Even if it reaches a someone who is somewhat perfect in terms that he/she is not bias to any group, has no greed and no ulterior motives, other factors some into play that causes communism to seem inefficient. As mentioned earlier, everyone is treated fairly and the same (or so i believe in theory) under communism, but if you were to think like this. A person of high authority such as a president meeting other foreign people of authority has to be dressed properly etc etc. It builds a different class due to his status as a man of power. This will no doubt cause a rift in society and a pyramid found in democratic countries where the rich is above the poor. This is the very reason why communism, a system where justice and true equality reigns is unable to function as intended. Its due to the imperfection in man, the desires and expectations of man that causes a perfect system to be down-trodden and looked down upon.

However as a proof that communism lives and can actually work though in contrary to what many believe (though more subtlely), its a family. In a family, the father and mother does their respective duties (besides being a father and mother) and brings in the bacon or looks after the house etc. Children go to school and perhaps help out in chores. Each of them do different duties and each of them fulfill their role in the family. But at the end of the day, they all sit down and have the same dinner together (in most normal families). They do not portion out meat for the dad cause he brings in money and vegetables for the children cause they just study and do not bring income to the family. At the table despite the father and mother being of higher authorities it still boils down to everyone being treated equally. Communism is in a twisted way found in a family.

I do admit, communism due to the large factors of man-kind involved cannot work in a country, a large city but i'm quite sure it should work in a village where everyone cares for one another. Gengis Khan once said, its not the strength of the wall that makes it strong but the people who minds it (refering to the great wall of China). If only man can just cast away bias-ness and imperfection then perhaps we can use in theory a perfect system to build a better tomorrow.

What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.

I would really like to thank you for your comment, albiet that I'm late in doing so. I do have many things I would like to write about (and I do have a list) but I've not been doing a whole lot of blogging since no one seems to be reading this blog (this is like a small thinking corner of mine). I'm really glad you enjoy some of these little articles I've written and hope you continue reading them
