negatives and positives of communism.

-American version-

Positives of communism: The government protects you. The government takes care of your needs. Society is safe.

Negatives of communism: The government must know what you are doing. When you are doing it. The government is watching you. You must have permission to go water skiing. Also, the government decides where the money goes, to whom the money goes, and a lot of the time they end up sending a ton of the countries money to themselves and their buddies, in other words, rich aristocrats.

-Corrected version-

The answer above is not "Communism" in it's true meaning, The answer above goes for "Dictatorship" and "Totalitarianism, the true meaning of "Communism" is by definition "From the people, for the people." There is no ruler in a "Communist" society, and in this term, "Communism" never has, and never will exist.

Positives of communism: Seems like a great Idea.

Negatives of communism: Doesn't TRULY exist.
