Is Communism BAD???

 

Well...  that all depends...

If one looks at Russia or Chinese communism, one might easily conclude that communism is bad.

However...

The USA has the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights that Russia and China do not have.

Plus...

The USA is firmly entrenched in Capitalism, and it is highly unlikely that the government will ever OWN all US Business and Corporations.

THEREFORE...

it is entirely possible that the USA could de-evolve into communism as long as Capitalism is willing to FINANCE the transition.

AND...

it does appear, based upon recent events that Capitalism is willing to fund a USA version of Communism.

SO...

what would a USA version of Communism look like?

Actually, that is a good question because since there has never been a USA version of Communism, no one really knows for sure.

It might look something like this...

• FREE Universal Government controlled: HEALTHCARE
• EDUCATION
• TECHNOLOGY
• JUDICIAL SYSTEM
• FINANCIAL
• LAW ENFORCEMENT
• SOCIAL SECURITY
• TRANSPORTATION
• COMMUNICATIONS
• ELECTIONS
• WAGE AND SALARIES
• PARKS AND RECREATION

Now, on the surface, this does not look like such a bad deal for Americans.

There is one big problem.

Our government is neither EFFECTIVE or EFFICIENT which mean there will be a lot of wasted time, money, and people.

PERSONALLY...

communism would really benefit my wife and I since we are retired from a financial point of view but from a medical or healthcare point of view, our medical conditions need to be addressed in a timely manner like they are now...  if and when the government steps in, it will probably take us 3-4 times longer to get the treatment we need NOW.  That delay could kill us prematurely.

Communism is not concerned about the deaths of one or two people as long as the WHOLE is being looked after.

The other big issue with communism is who is going to pay for it.

If capitalism pays, then we are home free. but if taxes have to pay for it, then the government will need to print money which will devalue the dollar.  Once the dollar is devalued, then Americans goods and services are worth less around the world.

Communism has unintended consequences that may not manifest themselves for several years.
