Welcome. I am originally from about 8 miles west of Akron, Wadsworth. That was 2/3 of my life ago. Good decision to exit Ohio, methinks.

Hi, old person here. Communism does sound good in theory, but I'm old enough to remember that it didn't work so well in real life. Capitalism still fucking sucks, though!
It didn't work because it was never reached. Its very difficult to reach full communism in a capitalist world market, especially when you have the entire world trying to fucking destroy you lol. Communism can only really be achieved after major social strides have been taken. The people of the world have to want communism, which might very well happen once the robots start taking all our jobs and forcing us to live off the backs of the uber-wealthy who own these machines. I agree that the attempts that were made in the past were unsuccessful, I do not agree with the methods that were used in said attempts, but I can rationalize the many reasons why they didn't succeed, marxian thought was not one of those reasons.
