I believe that communism can never "truly" exist.

Though I suspect it is rather due to the nature of Man.

Capitalism is the best way forward, for all its flaws, as it harnesses the flaws of our humanity.
I call myself a social capitalist, in recognition of the shortcomings of raw capitalism.
The incentive. People in capitalism know that if they work harder than the next guy (define work any way you'd like) their rewards will be much greater. This cannot happen in other constructs. Not while one is being 'governed' about their activities. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I think I will put this on a flag and fly it in the Forum!

So your dad paid your mum to have sex?
I mean, if money is the only way to motivate someone, surely your mum had to have been a prostitute?

Have you ever considered the reasons why Communism has never "truly" existed?

Hint: It's something about the nature of Communism.
Quite the contrary, human beings were in societies that could be reasonably called "communist" (in the final stage envisioned by Marx and Engels) for most of Man's existence on Earth.

Did I mention money? Shav Shav,,,,I notice you have been reaching lately.
You must be speaking of my reference to rewards in my post. OK, a reward would be seeing your children be able to go to a private school instead of a government indoctrinated public school. I think we could all agree on that. So yes it takes money to get into the private school, but the true reward is not making the money, but that you have your children in a private school I hope that clears that up.
Hey did you see were Biden does not want the Cubans here, and says he will send them back? Do you know why Shav? You You can be the one to tell everybody. It is because they are conservative and they will definitely not vote for Biden. A despicable man.

Seriously, discussions might roll much more smoothly if you just admit that you are all about marx and communism. You have never said that you are not.
I love 'envisioned by'. What,,,,a prophet?

Now now, you have your own problems. Could you tell us why you give us hell about multiculturalism, when in your beloved hunan-rights-forever China, the multi-people make up only 8% of the population????????
