Communism vs. Socialism: What's The Difference?

Show me one true capitalist country?

I believe in socialism!!!!!!!!!!!

The final causality statement "The human hurdle of overcoming power and greed and government is the biggest reason we've never seen a true communist country."
makes sense just like "due to corruption we have never sent a man on the sun".

Avoiding to mention the various angles of logical absurdity that communism possesses can be motivated by any misleading implication (be it intentionally or not).

You forgot to mention how america has deployed many coups in socialist countries in an effort to destroy the idea of socialism. Its safe to say america doesn’t want their citizens to see a successful socialist country

So basically it’s a human nature problem. Everybody has good ideas for their people and communities and working class until they get it power then start taking from the people for them selves. So pretty much nothing will ever work!. No wondering the whole world is fighting each other. We act like we’re better than animals when the truth is we’re exactly like them.

Foh…this was horrible

If I become president of a communist country and I'm given like 300 mil from everyone's hard work I'd give that 300 mil back equally just to see what happens. The only thing that could go wrong in a communist country is people or even just one person living in it that don't hold the same values as the the rest of the community and uses it to devalue or attack the country, like graffiti, drug distribution etc. Causing other civilians yo hate their life or be addicted to some that sucks all their money away Meanwhile in a capitalist environment a drug dealer could be thriving uneffecting of 90% of the population because the 10% have so much money that even if they did get addicted or hate their life they'd just get help, go on vacation or hire a bunch of scientists and create a cure lol... I feel like putting all that power in just the people in charge is pointless because going back to what I said earlier I'd distribute that 300mil evenly "just to see what they do with it" meanwhile in capitalism you get to see what they do with it and some of them waste it on luxurious living but some of them are inventors or actors that become directors or rappers that become farmers. I've always been too uninterested to get into politics but I figured I'd try to learn the difference between how countries are run. Anyone that has anything they can add to shed more light, feel free 🤘💪

America will be the first true communist country with a proper election system and a right man in charge, basically.

Of course, leftists love to call a leftist government that has a bad image as "not truly communist/socialist". So do Republicans about so-called Democratic countries. Fake communism, fake democracy, fake fascism, and yet Monarchism is the only incorruptable ideology, the system that has worked for a millenia and does not have a fake form

Very simple, a Socialist is a Communist who is a better liar.

Marx and Engels used the terms interchangeably.

WRONG! The reason socialism has not advanced in the world, even here in the US, is because capitalism AND capitalism controlled "democracies" do not allow it to happen by starving socialist countries economies.

Ho Chi Ming actually passed away before Vietnam was able to gain full independence

"We have never had a true communist society" Fair enough when described in this way.

However, we will never have one. Why? By the time humanity is mature enough to execute socialism/communism properly, we won't need it any more. Like labor unions. When quality of construction means the lives of thousands then private contractors cutting corners is the last thing you want.

Human altruism comes naturally. It is the diseased culture that fights against that.

Tease the impoverished with these promises of an impossible utopia at your own peril. Those in power really don't seem to mind the decades long nightmares they put their countries through, every single time.

In a perfect world Socialism might work.
Is this a perfect world where corruption and greed aren't a thing?
Sadly not.

“Being happy, healthy, and free.”
You can’t be free if you’re not allowed freedom to do with your own property as you desire.

Under Marx’s idea of Socialism, which the socialist of the day were horrified by, marks, advocated for an authoritarian state that forced the public to live as socialist until they were unable to live any other way.

When people leave that they’re out of it, you can tell it’s propaganda.

In addition to abolishing, private property He also wanted to abolish all hierarchy, all division of labor, the family and morality.
This is some of the reasons why the socialist of the day thought he was a nut job. I’ve heard it said Karl Marx wasn’t a first rate thinker, he wasn’t a second rate thinker, and he may not have even been a third rate thinker. And no one would know who he was if it hadn’t been for Vladimir Lenin.

Karl Marx had a degree in philosophy. He came up with his theory that private property estranged you from your fellow man, and then he backfilled that with made up economics. He invented the term capitalism as a slander. This is a trick that the communist have been doing since Marx stumbled out of eight German pub. Historically he’s known for wasting his fathers money at the pub when he was supposed to be going to college.

The communist socialist government is the of government that Carl Marx was invented,,this kind of Carl Marx invented government is a single Communist Party System Dictatorship..

The old "it hasn't been done right" argument. 100 million deaths in the 20 century says that it just plain and flat out doesn't work.

Free market capitalism is how wealth is generated and poverty eradicated.
Communism can never work due to a lack of a free market, profit motive, efficient capital allocation (ie people who build what people want, under capitalism, get to rewarded with profits so can build more stuff).
Communism leads to gulags, bread lines, death and poverty.
Always fight evil communism, free market capitalism has taken 3bn out of poverty in the last 50 years, it's worth fighting for.

lol wrong. There have been many communist countries, they all failed.
Who is funding this guy?

There also has never been a truly Capitalist/laissez-faire country either, and that is much more desirable than expecting an all too powerful government to become altruistic. Government is the problem, laissez-faire is the solution.

Nordic countries are not socialism. They have high taxation and liberal social benefits but there is private ownership, and the means of production are not owned by the state. Google it!

If communism would work that there would be blenty to go around and every one got what they realy needed and there would be some kind utopia would be neat, but it doesn't work like that.

when my country was ruled by socialist system it made every people equal... equally poor xD

In Sirius's planets, our people live by half Communism and half Spiritualism.
I believe no country on earth can be successful with such system, as firstly, our people are different - we aren't selfish at all, and commit altruism. Secondly, we have direct access to the Heaven - elders, noble souls, instead of outdated religions on earth.
Our semi-Communism is not led by government. We have only 1 nation in our solar system in Sirius, and our society is managed by scholars. That's why we always access truth, as the data are provided by the scholars, rather than media or rumors.
We don't need money to survive, and our economy flourishes with relevant abundance instead of gold or illusionary fiat.

Communism is an impossible idea to be honest Classless and stateless nation cannot exist

Both are equally terrible

You got it twisted lol. 😂 Please don’t believe this guy. He does not know what he is talking about. Shame on you for spreading false information.

why should i believe you cause you say there is no real comunism in this world... am a get a second videos explanation...

Jung has no comment on junkie home free. SF/

They only call it socialism when they don't want to scare off people afraid of communism

Everypeople live in south vietnam are now under control by communism by vietcong follow communism make vietnam and everypeople in after 1975 by eat food for human now they're eat food for animal, they're not allow people in vietnam talk bad things to their goverment if someone say they will Introducing Article 331 to arrest people for taking advantage of freedom and democracy to defame the communist party and the state. These people indoctrinate the whole world and lie experts very dangerously.

In china history mao lead the ideal communism, but failed, lot lot of people die

This is the most complete and efficient video I have watched so far to distinguish/define socialism and communism

So how many check box a State needs to hit i order to be called Communist?
Just read Karl Marx and you will see plenty

Socialism and communism is an evil ideology that has brought upon destruction on earth. Liberalism in general is evil. For what it’s worth so is right wing ideology…. It’s evil

Communism and socialism, one of the worst things ever happened in society

Nice try with the "no country has ever been truly communist" schtick.

Everyone has their own interests.

😮easy!just like capitalism,they don't work either!

Corruption is in almost every government. An example is in the USA, where lobbyists are well-known to manipulate laws and decisions to the benefit of the few.

There will never be a full scale communist country. Because society is full of people who would rather not work but only receive instead (myself included). I need external stimuli to get me to work - either government mandate (socialism) or a system where I receive goods only when I contribute (capitalism). I will also go out and say that all attempts at pure socialism or pure capitalism will fail miserably. It has to be some mix of the two. (Even the US is somewhat socialist given that the government collects taxes for upkeep of many services). The Scandinavian model of capitalistic socialism is the best. Provides the poorest people woth enough cushioning to keep them afloat but not enough to afford them great comforts without working for it.

Do usa got spys in ger.any sweety

Comminist/Socialism are for scabs.
