Communism is the best solution to most of the world's problems

Indeed Karl Marx was a brilliant a persuasive thinker. And if he saw the world as it is today, he would realize that he was 100% right that the gap between the rich and the poor is spreading further and further each day. Sure Marx would have been embarrassed to see the Stalinist regimes that made a mockery out of his work and made it look horrible. Sure the erecting of the Berlin Wall might have been a huge mistake, but as Stalinist East Germany, they built the border and created drastic programs in hopes of eliminating nationalist sentiments, but they did not take the lesson of Tito in Yugoslavia which was Yugoslavia was more "western" with the handling of these people, they weren't abrupt like the GDR (East Germany) was with the Stasi in creating a like you said, witch hunt. You mention the failures of the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, China has never touched true socialism, sure they may involved some socialist elements in their society, but the totalitarian outweighs that. They created a Stalinist then Maoist regime. They held a tight grasp on the working class in China. After Mao Zedong died, Deng Xiaoping created a state capitalist system which created a wide spread exploitation on the working class in China. With this state capitalist system, many sweat shops where created which is the one thing all communist want to eradicate in the world. Also with North Korea, during the early 60s they erased Stalinism in the country and adopted a Korean form of Socialist/Theocratic ideology called Juche, during the last half of the 20th century they cut out all references to socialism and communism by replacing it with the Songun Policy, socialism and communism was wiped out of the North Korean's minds in 2009 when they redrafted their constitution and no mention of socialism and communism is found (http://leonidpetrov.wordpress.com...). Since their inception they have always had a false concept of communism which has lead them to the current state they are at with food issues and diplomatic issues. Another thing Communism will solve is the lack of support for health care. One of the main principles of Communism is to make sure all of the people are healthy and that they have everything they need to stay healthy. Many Communist have medical degrees including communist revolutionary Che Guevara who was said to have checked everyone in a village during the Cuban revolutionary. Even once in Bolivia he gave a child his only inhaler because he saw that he was in horrible shape. This is said to have caused his downfall later in Bolivia due to its high elevation and Che's asthma caused him to grow weak which caused him to be captured and murdered. But besides that, all socialist nations have universal health-care and make sure that each village is close to a medical station be it a clinic or a full blown hospital. Another success of the Cuban Revolution was the creation of hospitals across the Cuban island. All of the stats on the increase of quality in health services can be seen here: (http://en.wikipedia.org...) Sure it may be Wikipedia, but it has an extensive amount of information which each has its citiations which you can refer to. One of the major things socialism has eliminated is the main idea of homelessness. With the abolition of private property all land is provided by the state which means it is free. So all citizens are well housed, well fed, and well equipped with everything they need. And if you felt like you wanted an upgrade in living (such as a larger house, you could purchase it). It is very hard to get official statistics due to the Russian Federation destroying these to hide the success of the Soviet Union. But here is an article to prove that another socialist nation has literally 0% homelessness: (http://fresnoalliance.com...). My last thing I will discuss in this round is the employment and its major benefits in a socialist/communist society. The fundamental thing in communism is the liberation of the working class from the oppressive rich who have long exploited them by paying them the minimal wage and taking the profit away from the workers. But in a socialist/communist society the workers benefit from working, the profit along with a wage goes directly to them. The worker keeps the wage while the state takes the profit and redirects it to health-care, education, transportation, and various other improvements in life. Unlike in a capitalist society where it is hard to get a job due to it being a "competition" to get one. In a socialist/communist society you get a job where you want because it is readily available to you. There are always the people that do not want to work or they just can't because they are a mother and they wish to spend the time raising the kids. Even though Cuba is going through a rough patch, many people maintain there job despite that the products they create are not being sent out into the world due to the embargo placed on them by the many NATO countries.

Click economy and you will see it is 3.8% which is better then most capitalist countries including the United States which is at 8.0% and their products could easily sell but they still have that immense number.
