What is the Best Form of Communism?

Postby Hakio » Sun Apr 06, 2014 1:42 pm

Even, if you're not a communist (like myself) I think many people would favor certain kinds and theories over others. What is your ideal form of communism that you most identify with? Also what would you identify your personal political philosophy as?
(If you wish for me to add an option just ask.)

I am strongly opposed to all forms of communism, but ideologies like Stalinism and Maoism are ten times worse than communist ideologies like Luxemburgism or Trotskyism.

This isn't about whether you like or dislike communism. If you want to duscuss that you can go to a different thread.

I didn't say they were.

And you ask for what form of communism is the best form. Some people think the best form of communism is "none". Perfectly valid to include that

Definitely not Stalinism or Maoism.
Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.
We have nothing to lose but the world. We have our souls to gain.
You!
Me.
Nothing you can possibly do can make God love you any more or any less.

And if I had to choose one as the ideology of government, I would go with Titoism. Definitely not Maoism or Trotskyism.

Poll is inaccurate; Marxism-Leninism is not included, and it should be since it is probably one of the most common, if not the most common.

EDIT: Also, Stalinism isn't even a thing. It's purely made up, it is not an ideology.

Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism, and "Gorbachevism" aren't communism.
I could count the number of actual communist ideologies on one hand.

Myself, being a Marxist-Engellian, prefer the actual ideology that Marx and Engels came up with back in the 1850s/1860s. Why do I prefer it? Well it's the only one that could work, so...

None of those are forms of communism; they are ideologies proposing methods on how to realize communism and how to assess the world.

This site stresses me out, so I rarely come on here anymore. I'll try to be civil and respectful towards those I'm debating on here. If you don't extend the same courtesy then I'll probably just ignore you.

None.
Your nation is like a son. What it does right is your merit, as well as what it does wrong is your fault. When you praise it, be lucid and avoid exaggeration. Praising it too much can make it indolent. On the other hand, when you criticize it, be harsh, but do not ridicule it. Do your best to improve it, not through derision or disdain, but through good examples and dedication.

No thread ownership in general. "None" is a valid answer to all "Best type of X?" questions.
