>What are the reasons why communism cannot work?

Because humans. Wait for post-technological singularity robo-communism.

Why work hard if I get the same benefits while slacking off?

Economic Calculation Problem

Flaws:
>Government corruption caused by human greed
>Unhappiness off the general population, as humans always want more but nobody can achieve more under communism
>Has been attempted multiple times, failed every time.

DAE Communism is perfect?

Communism is inherently immoral. It removes man's freedom to be a steward of the land, removes his ability to be freely generous, and requires the government to steal property from "the people" that they claim to support.

MARX BELIEVED IN AND BASED HIS IDEAS ON THE LABOR THEORY OF VALUE

MARX THEREFORE BASED HIS IDEAS ON SOMETHING THAT HAS ZERO CONNECTION TO REALITY, IN FACT, IT IS THE OPPOSITE OF THE WAY THAT HUMAN BEINGS BEHAVE

WOULD YOU REALLY TRUST SOMEONE TO GIVE AN ACCURATE ANALYSIS OF HISTORY IF THEY BELIEVED THAT HUMANS CARED MORE ABOUT STRANGERS THAN THEIR FAMILY, FOR EXAMPLE

the main flaw is that communism replaces rich men with government men...and the suffering of the working class continues without end

>Why US always opposed communism?
Because those in power (((profit))) from capitalism.

>Rile up the poor and uneducated by telling them it's capitalisms fault that they're life is shit
>Start a revolution and overthrow the government with your army of dimwits
>??????
>Communist Paradise

It never works because the people in charge during the transition phase make themselves richer while never doing what they promised. It's weaponized autism.

True capitalism is the only system that works because it doesn't give inherit power.

People are easily corruptible by power, communism and socialism give power to an elite ruling class. It may be great in theory, but you would have to assume people are inherently good, but they are not.

Communism is the economic model that says 'economics is stupid lol XD! Why can't we all just magically be rich?'

Unless your people are robots thy will not be able to work together without a centralized authoritarian government that has to develop a bureaucracy for every economic aspect of life. Any level of personal economic freedom (i.e. I will trade you half my sandwich for your juice box) will lead to an inequality of resources.

Greed
Greed for money from poor people
Greed for power from rich people

Communism can only exist when people have no greed

>implying Capitalism's sole outcome isn't to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a ruling class

>flaws
its system is exploited by powerful people
which is why it was created in the first place

implying Communism's sole outcome doesn't concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a ruling class

Why can't a group of workers own a factory ?
No reason

Not to mention his theory of alienation has been discredited by modern archeology. Pic related.

If you don't know the answers to these already, I invite you to advocate communism in front of a group of former soviet citizens.

It trusts humans to take care of each other equally for all eternity. It tell the farmer that he must give his grain to Joe blow in the cities who works as a button-pressor and then says that the farmer should not get any compensation that the farmer finds meaningful

Examples?

this
perfect communism can never exist in reality

goodbye, sweet prince
may the horse of gibs take you into the sea

Every communist country ever.

The soviet union.

>Dude give all the power to a transitional government that will kill all the landowners
>They'll disband themselves for a stateless society anyday now!!
Fucking retarded

It works pretty well in post-scarcity situations where physical intimidation is meaningless, ie online.

IRL, not so much.

Plus "historical processes" that are predictable and inevitable LOL. That's some 19th century bullshit.

the capitalist system is finally collapsing
we're currently in late stage capitalism and there will be a communist revolution soon
it's capitalism that doesn't work

USSR and PRC

Ebin sources

I don't have any sources handy

I figured this was common knowledge. The soviet ruling class lived like kings. Stalin lived in a fucking castle

I would of rather seen Shia Labeouf die then Castro.
Castro was an old man who was going to ,We are going to be stuck with Shia for a while

It can work. Literally all the social policies adopted since the beginning of 20th century are suggested by Marx.

Most of the word governments: the UN, EU, China are run by socialists and communists.

US opposed it ideologically because of cold war. After it ended it almost stopped any opposition, like right now it doesn't give a shit about Chinese ideology and Bernie broke the floodgates internally.
