Communism: A nice idea on paper, but in real life ... not so much. Doesn't really jibe with human nature.

     Assuming Ultimate Communism would encourage everyone to be "exceptional," were it to succeed and everyone became "exceptional"... how would anyone be exceptional? Exceptional being a relative term, is there some explanation of "exceptional" (as in, in relation to what?) that would still hold? 
     Because if everyone had Bill Gates' money, a philosopher's depth, and the health of a base-jumping 130-year-old twice-reincarnated Himalay Sherpa, no one could possibly be exceptional.

  Communism would encourage people to be "exceptional". It says nothing about going over people's needs. And yes, no country has got it
  right yet (it's only been about 100 years--a short time by historical standards).
  And as for your "it will never work b/c all people care about is $" beliefs, why are thousands flooding into Haiti, mostly unpaid, to help?

  Right on!

  If only we all lived in Imaginary Communist Land (because it seems that no one can ever get it right and communism has never
  ever existed) things would be so much better and we'd all be happy, joyful, thoughtless providers to the betterment of man kind. 

  Should anyone choose to be exceptional we will just maim them till they are EQUAL with all the others. Should anyone want more than
  what is deemed acceptable to them... Ohhhh boy! I pity the fool!

  Greg, I do hope that your salary does not go one penny over your needs and that if you ever had or will have a pay raise
  you will promptly denounce it and threaten your employer with resignation.

  FIGHT THE POWER MUTHAFUCKAS!

    Unfortunately the march toward war doen't depend entirely on who's pres or PM. It stems from the competition between nations over markets,

    has not withdrawn troops from Iraq any faster than Bush would have. As long as capitalism exists, WWIII will be on it's way (w/China?)...

    I dont know how many of the gathering outside the UK have heard about the latest bollocks enquiry about tony & george's ego trip but I found it alarming how much blair mentioned Iran.My motto is attack is the best form of defence but it has to be organised.
     
    Can anyone imagine what would have happened if these 2 clowns were left in power. I never ever thought I would say this but thank God america can get rid of it's idiots after their terms.
     
    If George & Tony were still in power WW3 would be just around the corner. In the Uk now we have a one eyed grumpy disorganised threatining(to his staff) totally fiscally incompetent person who inherited a good economic base and has totally fucked it up & the USA-who knows.
     
    But thank God it's not Cuba otherwise we could have those simpletons in for life.
