Communism is against central government. In communism, every area is organized in terms of a locality. In each of these, every single person votes on every single law and decision. No central government, and, in fact, no state in the modern sense of the term.
P.S Communism has never been put into practice.
Right, so if it's never been put into practice, there is likely a reason for that.
Have you ever heard of wage slavery? In wage slavery, the worker is paid just enough to pay his bills and survive. Thus, he is stuck and cannot leave these boodsuckers without perishing slowly. That is why they are bad. They are keeping millions in a feudalist system, wich we were supposed to grow out of in the middle ages.
Wage slavery? Like I can't leave my job? Because I can. I can't open my own business? Because I can. I can't get a degree and get a better paying job? Because I can.
See, there's the problem with that theory. Alex Spanos, a multi-millionare, got his start selling baloney sandwiches. Wasn't he a slave to his wage? No, because he saved up some money, bought bread and baloney, and started selling sandwiches.
Dave Thomas who founded Wendy's started of running a KFC restaurant that was failing at the time. Wasn't he slave to his wage? No, he saved up, lived lean, and opened his own burger stand.
Or how about Chris Gardner, who was even homeless for a time, but worked his way up, and now runs his own stockbroker firm. Wasn't he a slave to his wage?
And there are hundreds of thousands of such cases, if not more all throughout the US. Way back when I worked at Wendy's, there was a Romanian there, who barely spoke English. He worked hard, lived lean, and learned English, and eventually went on to own the largest Hertz rent-a-car in Columbus, the one next to the international air port. How did he do that? Wasn't he a slave to his Wendy's wage?
The wage slave theory is false.
It has never been tried, so we cannot know for sure. Even Marx admitted that.
Social evolution would suggest that if such a system was achievable, that clearly by now with all the attempts at doing it, one would have succeeded if it were possible.
They dont give us what they want, they slowly become the only option.
And I was only mentioning walmart specifically because you mentioned it first. All large companies do this.
They can show up with guns. For all we know, they could have a private army.
And, remember what I said about wage slavery? In the third world, they were using wage-LESS slavery, which is far worse. The third worlders can create thier own industrys. They have been doing it for thousands of years, why should they need walmarts help? And child labor is only acceptable if it is a branch of education.
Right. Yeah how many stores have you been forcibly pushed into at gun point? Please list off the times. For me, the answer is zero.
It is impossible for a store to become the only option if they don't give us what we want. Why? Two reasons... the only way to force a company out of business, is by offering better products, or a better price, or both. If Walmart was vastly more expensive, or didn't have the products we wanted, no one would go there.
Second, if Walmart somehow were to drive another store out, though it be successful and profitable, someone else would move in. That is the essence of a free-market.
For example, here in Columbus, the store brand Big Bear, closed down, and folded up. What happened? Another company bought up the most successful of those old Big Bear stores, and now we have Giant Eagle.
The makers of that video have no idea what communism is. It would fit in its own category: "locality-organized council democracy of the community and those who live in it throughout the world" But that is realy long, so we just say communism.
Just out of curiosity, is it possible that the other 90% of the population that understands communism differently than you, might not all be wrong, but perhaps you are the one who is wrong?
I talk to economists, commentators, professors, and many others, and although I won't say that "no one" thinks the way you do, you are vastly in the minority.
Again, your specific version of communism has never been tried, never succeeded, never been implemented, even by people who openly claimed to be communists.
Which leads me to believe that your idea of communism doesn't exist.
