Are communist governments better than other forms of government

Thank you for accepting I would like to lay down my following objections against Communism. Businesses under communist system have very strict limitations as to what they can and cannot do. "The government owns all the businesses and properties (the means of production "In a communist system, the central authority dictates the means and quantity of production, and place strict rules on businesses. "The economic and political system of communism effectively dictates what can and cannot be done in the realm of business. There are defined limitations for the amount a business can produce and how much money they can earn. "In addition to directly controlling the means of production, communism places strict rules on the way businesses operate in such a way that a classless society is born. "Large or geographically broad populations tend to be diverse, making it difficult to maintain a common goal or set of rules for shared effort and resources. "Consumer"s needs are not taken into consideration. "Productivity and efficiency is difficult to achieve without profit motive for the workers. "It is difficult to achieve internal balances between supply and demand without a price mechanism. "Central planning is difficult to achieve. Communism makes fears in the minds of people. Communism makes you fear to even speak to your neighbor. The only way to keep Communism alive is to make the citizens afraid to ever organize and protest. Hence, the government rewards snitches. If you mention something in passing to your neighbor that is against Communism, you very well might get arrested. This is one reason Czechs loved to go to their small summer cottages. They didn't have to worry that someone could hear their conversations (thin walls in the city, you know), and they could be with people they trusted. Hence, Communism made you mistrust everyone. You became paranoid, just to survive. Even today, older Czechs don't speak to their neighbors. Old habits die hard. Under Communism, the great majority of people live boring, unfulfilled lives. They can't reach the levels in life they could in a free society. It's like putting a full grown trout in a 10 gallon aquarium, and expecting it to live its life there. People are not allowed to fulfill their wishes and are not free to live. Life under Communism is bland and boring. Culture has to support the system, so forget about modern music; it would be considered a threat to the Communist order. Forget about fashion. You're going to wear nightmarishly ugly and ill-fitting clothes. Forget about comfort, style, and individual expression. There are about five styles of shoes to choose from. That's it. You were required to work, and the government would assign you a job. Great, except your job was often a soul-sucking nightmare. Example: a journalist once wrote about how she would visit Russia during Communism. In the States, she'd pick up a dozen bagels in about 30 seconds and be on her way. Not under communism! He employees know they are literally wasting their lives. They aren't doing anything productive. One person could do the job of four. It's like the torture they give prisoners, where you have to take a pile of bricks from one end of the jail yard to the other. Once you've finished, you have to haul that same pile back to the original location, and so forth. It's torture because you realize you have accomplished nothing. That's how these people felt. It sucked their souls dry. It made them bitter and resentful. Communism is a system that perpetually has no discretionary funds You'd be surprised how fast buildings and infrastructure decay and collapse without private ownership. Just look at Cuba. They have a "free" and young work force, but the buildings are literally collapsing around them. Communism just can't sustain itself in the long run. Things get old and decay, and the amount of money and effort needed to keep things running smooth always far exceeds government income. No civil rights. No free press. Travel abroad only permitted after rigorous investigation into you and your family. No right to privacy. If you are gay, you will be ostracized. If you are handicapped, you will be removed from sight (even in the more compassionate Czech Republic, they followed this standard Communist practice, that non-productive people had to be sent somewhere out of sight. My friends here said they never saw anyone handicapped until the Berlin Wall fell.) Medicine: look at the conditions under communism of any clinic or hospital. They were third-worldish. Hospitals are expensive to maintain, and under Communism everything was always in short supply. A lot of treatments are never given because it's too expensive. Medicine is rationed; fact of life. I would like to solve the dilemma by a government that is for the people by the people-Democracy Democracy is a form of government in which all eligible citizens have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives. Democracy allows eligible citizens to participate equally"either directly or through elected representatives"in the proposal, development, and creation of laws. It encompasses social, economic and cultural conditions that enable the free and equal practice of political self-determination. Safeguards the interests of the people: Chief merit of democracy lies in that it safeguards the interests of the people. Real power lies in the hands of the people who exercise it by the representatives elected by them and who are responsible to them. It is said that social, economic and political interests of the individuals are served better under this system. Based on the principle of equality: Democracy is based on the principle of equality. All members of the State are equal in the eyes of law. All enjoy equal social, political and economic rights and state cannot discriminate among citizens on the basis of caste, religion, sex, or property. All have equal right to choose their government. Stability and responsibility in administration: Democracy is known for its stability, firmness and efficiency. These days tenure of the elected representatives is fixed. They form a stable government because it is based on public support. The administration is conducted with a sense of responsibility. In representative democracy, people's representatives discuss matters more thoroughly and take reasonable decision. Under monarchy the Monarch takes decisions as he pleases. Under dictatorship, the dictators do not involve people at all in decision making; people have no right to criticize the decisions of the dictator even when they are bad and against people's welfare. Political education to the people: Another argument given in favor of democracy is that it serves as a training school for citizens. People get impetus to take part in the affairs of the state. At the time of elections political parties propose their policy and programme in support of their candidates. All means of propaganda-public meetings, posters, radio, television and speeches by important leaders of the parties- are used to win public favor. It creates political consciousness among the people. (v) Little chance of revolution: Since democracy is based on public will, there is no chance of public revolt. Representatives elected by the people conduct the affairs of the state with public support. If they don't work efficiently or don't come up to the expectations of their masters i.e., the public, they are thrown in the dustbin of history when elections are held again. Gilchrist opines that democracy or popular governments always function with consensus and therefore question of revolt or revolution does not arise. Stable government: Democracy is based on public will. It conducts state business with public support. It is, therefore, more stable than other forms of Government.
