Why is Socialism/Communism bad?

It is terrible!

But I want to know what people from other countries think.

I know its bad, but i want to know why other people understand it doesn't work, and why it will never be good for a country as a greater par.

The people who rule with communism are corrupt.

Does it really matter to you?

Because it doesn't follow human instinct....

because the smurfs did it effectivelySerial-No_3404

But they're Smurfs. They're more efficient. Hell, their entire dictionary consists of one verb: smurf.

If you guys will excuse me for a moment, im going to go check on my other topic.

Ill be back in just a little bit, thank you.

Because you aren't awarded because of your contribution, you are given a certain amount and are forced to give a certain amount.

It's just totally opposite from human's natural instincts.

Because rich people don't get richer. Resulting in the poor having better living standards. What kind of selfless jerk would want that?imsomebody

Ask yourself, why don't rich people get richer....

That's it.

Well, that's more or less why it doesn't work.

Why don't rich people get richer?

Because all the money goes to the government, then gets spent on various things such as health care and military equipment. Very little of this money stays in anyones hands.

no...It's because there are no rich people. Everyone earns around the same amount....Can't you see how unfair this is?

Not to mention how limited your personal freedom is.

Because people tend to look at Cuba/the USSR/Peoples' Republic of China and think that that is communism.MattUD1

To be honest I don't actually like communism. However think it is the lesser of god knows how many evil economic systems. I personnally believe that we should simply abolish money all together and let the government run the entire economy alone.

Socialism, communism, capitalism, facism......... All of those are bad things.kelinn

I could add at least 100 isms to that list.

The government doesn't have to work like that. I was simply refering to how the economy was run. The government could still be Democratic or any other system of government(that I know of).

Communism, is in itself, inherently flawed. Any economic system where a Janitor and Doctor are compensated equally does not deserve to ride under the "equal" banner. I'm a proud believer that people should be compensated proportionally to their contributions to society, hence I believe people of higher standards i.e. Doctor, engineers, and scientists should make more than say Janitors.

Socialism, is a more medium to captialism and communism. Some standardized programs like transportation and healthcare, while still retaining a relatively free market.

I know that, but there is no real "Capitalistic" economy in the world. I was refering to practicality.

outsourcing isn't purly to other countries. You can outsource to local companies and rid yourself of a division within that company, it's common practice. The only time you hear about it is when it goes out of the country.

Secondly, I would love to see these examples of "exploitation". Would you mind showing me plenty of companies that do it now, and pays their workers far less than the average wage in their local country.

Sweatshops tend to pay close or above local wages in that area. Does that really count as explotation?

I'm completely serious. I always here the same rhetoric. What you've shown is a travesty, but it has more to do with the country of origin exploiting THEIR own people by allowing children to work.

I'm trying to target adult specific "Explotation". You always here wage numbers thrown around like "wages as low as 10 dollars a week", with out putting it into perspective. You have to compare wage numbers between the countries. Obviously 10 dollars goes nowhere in a country like the US, however in many third world countries ten dollars a week is far more than local business' offer putting it higher than their average wage. Is that really exploitation then?

I'm only trying to look at it in a different perspective. Compare it to local wages and labor choices, not one's back home because it's not a fair analysis.
