Communism is an ineffective system.

I never claimed that the eastern bloc was altruistic or even socialist. .. The nomenklatura was the result of corruption. The resolution is:'Communism is an ineffective system'. The basic argument that pro seems to put out is the impossibility of altruism, which we've already established is possible (Asch Experiment). When I stated that socialism is succeeding, I meant that there are nations in which socialism remained. I maintain this position. I named these nations as: Cuba and Vietnam, specifically explaining North Korea is a juche socialist state. Vietnam, irrelevant if it is a third-world sh*thole, is still a socialist nation. It still maintains a high level of social equality, nationalization etc. [1] Cuba is, regardless of commercialization, still a socialist nation. A high index of equality, a high index of environmental safety etc. [2] Limousines etc. are irrelevant to this discussion anyway. Again, I establish that communism is an effective system, as it can be enforced by a society. Societies impact and influence our thinking, even to the slightest sliver of a degree they do. Humans are social creatures, as we live and interact with other people. People, in the form of society, will have an impact and influence on our behaviors. Empirical evidence from the Asch Conformity Experiments support the resolution. The Asch experiments, in which there was one real participant who didn't know the intentions of the experiment, and all the others were aware of the intention of the experiment. A small society, which can be as small as two individuals in this scenario, had a slight influence on the "real" participants behavior. The more confederates (the people aware of the intentions of the experiment) their influence over the participant grew. The consensus here is that there is empirical proof that society, even in small amounts, influences and/or effects the decisions and therefore the actions of the individual. This proves my position, that a society, even a very small one, influences a person's behavior and actions. In psychology, it has been concluded with various studies that people have two psychological needs that makes people conform to the expectations of others. We are even if we don't think so influenced by society to a degree, since we have a psychological need to conform to others. . The reasons we conform to the expectations of others is for our need to be liked or to be right. So, even unconsciously, society is influencing us to conform to others, which influences our actions. We need to conform to others, and with this need, our actions passively are trying to achieve this need. Thus, we are influenced by society in our actions to meet these psychological needs to be liked or to be right. [3] I stick with Leon Trotsky's theory of proletarian Bonapartism, which claims that the USSR was never, in fact, socialist, as I established in round one. In China's case, socialism requires the creation of a vanguard party that is at the head of the struggle. Socialism is a system where class struggle remains, currency remains etc. We are debating communism and COMMUNISM has only been achieved in a handful of communes.
