Get the Communist Dictatorship mug.True communism is a utopian socity (perfect society),based on Carle Marx philosaphys (Marxism). True communism only works in small isolated situations, and never lasts very long due to the human nature of greed. In a true communist state no one person would have more of anything than another, everything would be shared. A prime example of this is the hippie communes of the 1960's. But true communism was tested in the commune form by transcendentalists such as Ralph Waldo Emmerson, and Henry David Therou in the Transcendentalist Period in American literature (around the same time as the Romanticism Period) 1820-1860 aproximatly.
True Communism should not be confused with Socialism. Socialism is what the United States government wanted (wants) to rid the world of. A totalitarian state.

Get the Communism mug.A system that, while looking fine on paper, has yet to be implemented correctly. The base ideology is that all industry and property is controlled by the state, which in turn provides most things to the people. Historically communist states were/are controlled by a dictator like Joseph Stalin or Kim Jong-il, who attempts to generate a cult of personality and downplay the negative traits of their state. Although calling themselves Marxist-Leninist, many of these states are degenerated totalitarian dictatorships, where the common people are subject to mass surveillance and everything is heavily censored. Currently the only communist states left are China, Cuba, North Korea, Laos, and Vietnam.
Mao and Stalin have each racked up death tolls upwards of 50 million people, in the name of creating the "utopian" state of communism envisioned by Karl Marx.

Get the Chinese Communist Party mug.A system of government that eliminates privately owned property and the caste system; making everyone equal. A great idea on paper, but unfortunately, never works in the real world b/c someone gets power hungry.
Mostly hated by Americans who are grown up from birth being told that Communists are evil; because their capitalist government wants to remain in control.
Unfortunately, there has never been a true working communism that follows it's ideal; someone always gets power hungry and turns it from a communism into something of a dictatorship.

1.) There has never been a true working communism.
2.) Most people who hate communism are from America, who are grown on the prospect of it being evil.

Get the communism mug.Something that works on paper, but real life corrupts, and stalin was in fact a facist. he just never figured it out.
come to think of it, the same has happened to:
democracy (bush steals election)
Republic (rome burned)
Capitalism (the depression)
Facism (guess)
Despotism (saddam hussein bomed out of existence)
all forms of government have, in fact, become corrupted so far. except anarchy, but so what?
basically, communism would work if there is a totally honest cabinet running it. go figure.
