Once you factor in basic human behavior, it is entirely unworkable.

Not if you actually read the Communist Manifesto, it sure doesn't.
The proletariat will use its political supremacy to wrest, by degree, all capital from the bourgeoisie, to centralize all instruments of production in the hands of the State, i.e., of the proletariat organized as the ruling class; and to increase the total productive forces as rapidly as possible.

Of course, in the beginning, this cannot be effected except by means of despotic inroads on the rights of property, and on the conditions of bourgeois production; by means of measures, therefore, which appear economically insufficient and untenable, but which, in the course of the movement, outstrip themselves, necessitate further inroads upon the old social order, and are unavoidable as a means of entirely revolutionizing the mode of production.

These measures will, of course, be different in different countries.

Nevertheless, in most advanced countries, the following will be pretty generally applicable.
  1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
  2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
  3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
  4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
  5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
  6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
  7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of wastelands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
  8. Equal liability of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
  9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country.
  10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc, etc.
All a recipe to make the state all-powerful.

Communism will not save America because it is too extreme and won't work to improve the lot of the working class. Even socialism is not effective because it doesn't serve the needs and desires of a diverse population. A moderately regulated form of capitalism with some socialistic characteristics such as national health care financing and a strong labor union movement would work best here.

Communism will save America

Posted by Scrabbleship on Sun Nov 21 23:04:38 2010

But America still thinks it's 1955 and won't consider Communism. Imagine an America where murderers are instantly executed. Imagine an America where greed is illegal. Imagine in America where homelessness and lack of healthcare are nonexistent. Imagine an America where everyone has a standard lack of living and we have a job pool of millions of felons to work for little wage on public works. The SAS would be done already if we had cheap inmate labour.

The USA is FUCKED unless major change happens. Since we won't racially profile and put in major reforms or bans of lobbying and corporate greed, I can't think of another solution. Please open your minds and consider Communism as a solution to our ills. McCarthy was mentally ill and was un-American for trying to subvert the Constitution.

Until we admit Obamacare is the best and end the TSA, I will mull registering as a Communist. A good 20 or so years of Communism will fix the US and will help us rediscover what we should be. The current state of affairs eliminates all the fun elements of being a Commie.
