Communism Is Superior To Capitalism

Communism is a economic theory created by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in the 1800s although Marx's ideas were not popular while he was alive just a few decades later they would change the course of history forever. Theory: Communism at it's core is a stateless system governed by the working class this is known as Marxism. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" - Karl Marx However due to how unrealistic Marxism is at it's core many have modified it to make it much more realistic most notably Vladimir Lenin's: Leninism/Marxism which is what the Soviet Union was built upon. This version of Communism put more power towards one individual which was the leader of the Communist Party. Most mistake the idea that Communism is a system run by dictators but that is simply false Marxism-Leninism has a form of democratic management within the party that way no one single person can have all the power. There has been a endless number of forms of Communism throughout the 1900s however Communism has always remained a strong belief because of it's human connections. Marx didn't just create Communism as a economic theory he created it as a personal theory as-well Marx understood human behavior and noted a few things. Marx understood that we as humans hate to be abandoned hence why when we are let go [Fired] we start to get upset, depressed and stressed and Marx viewed this as the Capitalist System simply treating humans as objects rather than actual human beings. He would later make the claim that this is evident within Business Marriage where two children from separate companies would marry each other simply not for love but for financial reasons. One of Marx's biggest issues with Capitalism is how it treated unemployment saying that the Capitalist system labelled the unemployed as "Useless" and "Lazy" where as Marx claimed we should be calling Unemployment as Freedom. Marx stated the reason for this was simply because when you are unemployed you have more time to find who you really are deep down. "to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic" - Karl Marx Marx claimed that people actually don't need to work because our economies are so productive as a result we have crises of abundance rather than shortage. We could give everyone a house, access to education and a decent hospital just because of how productive our economy is. He also stated we shouldn't have to work unless we enjoy our work and can see ourselves in the very things we create. Marx claimed the Capitalist System alienates the workers thus cutting them off from their emotions and who they really are making human beings expandable. Marx always heavily stated that within a Communist Society everyone would have free education, free healthcare, the right to leisure and work. Here are some of the Pros of Communism 1. It can do away with all class systems. 2. Decreases unemployment. 3. Gives everyone access to their basic needs. 4. Creates a egalitarian society [Less Racism/Sexism] 5. Gives Workers The Power Now of course Communism has it's Cons just like any economic system but I simply insist the Pros of Communism outweigh the cons. Real Life Practice: Now many point to the fall of the USSR as the turning point and fall of Communism but this is far from the correct assumption. It is worth noting that after the fall of the USSR many countries still remained Communist let alone a recent surveys point that Russians, East Germans and many others who once lived under Communism still prefer the system today. Communism also led to the creation of Labor Unions which in turn protect the workers and their rights and are a big key role even in Capitalist Society in voicing the workers. Also may I point out that Marx viewed 2 main ways Communism would become inevitable both these views are via Revolution but one of them is not what you think. Marx viewed Communism gaining power via Violent Revolution of the working class or via Peaceful Revolution of time. Marx saw that over time Capitalism would grow into a hideous monster that would alienate the workers to the point of revolution no matter the country this is what i mean by peaceful Revolution. Capitalism is destined to fail because of it's treatment to the working class citizens thus they would rebel and form a communist society from the ruins of the old society. Now look at Scandinavia mainly Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland all of these are socialist countries however many would argue that they are heading towards peaceful progressing into Communism. Each of these countries have outstanding healthcare systems, education, employment and most importantly are almost classless society. They is almost no rich and no poor within these countries and by that I mean very little meaning they have peacefully almost ended the class struggle within their countries. My Point: My main argument here is that Communism is more human and caring than Capitalism it creates social equality treats people like actual human beings and it's economy is far superior for proof look at how quickly Russia industrialized itself. I always needed to explain Communism to those who don't know what it is if they happen to look at this debate. Anyhow that is where I will leave my argument I do apologize if it's a bit all over the place I am slightly tired at the moment but no to tired to spread the works of Marx. Anyhow I await my opponents response. Sources: . http://rbth.com... . http://www.rasmussenreports.com... . http://toplistenz.com... . http://blog.peerform.com...
