Difference between Nazi Germany and Soviet union:
The USSR killed people for a reason (even if it was a bullshit reason such as "are traitors") or apparently accidentally (famine etc). Nazi Germany killed people deliberately and for no reason (or rather, a reason that could not be helped at all by the accused, they killed them deliberately simply for being). Or that's how it's seen. Russian deaths were as a result of ebil communism being inefficient and crazy, whereas german deaths were a product of hateful nazi malice.

I guess.

That, and USSR didn't start a World War, something most people tend to forget.

It's not really that simple. China and Vietnam have adopted free-market policies. North Korea is trying too, but it's kind of like watching a retarded child run into the wall because he just watched Bob Wilton do it. The point is communism isn't communism, because communism has never really existed.

Well the offical reason was thats Jews were traitors for stabbing the Empire in the back, not to mention undesirables who were hording wealth and power to themselves at the expense of normal Germans. Not unlike the Soviet purges of counter revolutionaries and 'Kulaks'... owait-

None of those countries are "communist". They're dictatorships in Red drag. Both China and Vietnam have mixed economies that are becoming more capitalist by the day. North Korea is a bizarre absolute monarchy with a badly peeling communist paint job.

To a degree yes. Russia kept their shit to themselves. Germany started making their shit everybody else's shit. I doubt nazi germany would have fallenquite like it did (it may have become subject to internal unrest at some point, but not as quickly) had it just kept to itself. People wouldn't have invaded it just for exterminating it's own jews etc.

@Mike I understand about free-market. My friend once told me that Hong Kong is a Free-marketing city in China. But I didnt know free-marketing is roaming around Vietnam since I heard that South Vietnam fell during the war

You seem to realise that communism in most palces is not as advertised.
You seem like a somewhat rational person.

Why do you have this idea that it can work when you have no evidence fo the fact? When all attempts have failed?

Well, it's a fine argument until you start exterminating children and poor jews. Then you're obviously just killing jews for being jews. At least with the counter revolutionary charges etc. you are at least making accusations that are plausible when you aren't necessarily targetting an ethnic group and are killing mostly adults etc. (I believe they did that - though most of the deaths came through famine which was not targeted, but falls under the category of apparently accidental).

When have I ever said communism can "work"?

If you go back and read over my posts in this thread, I clearly state my opposition to all forms of Empire and tyranny. This includes the Soviet Union, which I believe I mentioned in particular:

Great Altai wrote:I think the fact that the Nazis were explicitly racist and that their mass murder was so highly systematized makes them much more unpopular. The Soviet Union's racist policies under Stalin and co. were somewhat more discreet and inefficient, so they are often given a pass.

I'm not personally in favor of reviving either of them. I'd also like to see an end to the American Empire. I'm against empires in general.

Communism is a system with communal ownership of the means of production, no private property, and no classes. None of the countries you mention have that.

They're moving onto the third generation of complete control of the state by a single family. That is literally what monarchy is.

Sorry i have trouble reading through hundreds of posts, I confuse some illogical arguements with others. My fault.

Ahem..

If you opposoe all forms of tyranny, why do you differntiate between them despite the obvious similarities?

That can also be a president. Monarchy states that a family of royal blood is allow to be a monarchy. This means that the family based off the Three Kingdoms of Korea once roam the lands of the North and South is allow to turn such country as North Korea into a monarchy

As I said, it has a very poor communist paint job.

First of all, the categories of "dictatorship" and "monarchy" are not mutually exclusive. Secondly, what else would you all a country that is essentially ruled by one person with hereditary succession?

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it doesn't matter what you call it. If you can't see that I really don't know what else to say to you.

Well i'm sure the Soviets didn't send whole families to die in Siberian work camps. Im sure that petty town rivalries didn't cause some people to be denounced for no reason..

Really im totally sure none of that happened.
