Been through this debate time and time again, but here I go. Yes, I support
communism. If anyone wants to ask my opinion on anything concerning this or other political issues, please do, I am all for discussing.
Anyway, to elaborate a little further on what I think, I must first say that up to date, there has never been a true communist state as at least
ninjarabbit pointed out. All attempts at this have either never been trying to achieve communism or failed right after the beginning. I would like to give an honourable mention to Chile for working under socialism very effectively until the USA popped in to give Pinochet a hand. I did an extensive project about this, so I am more than willing to discuss this as well in case someone disagrees or wants some information. Another honourable mention to Yugoslavia and Tito.
The USSR was the first officially communist nation in the world as we all know. However, they never became communist by definition. Lenin died too young a man to actually carry out his plans and Stalins' regime was a lot more brutal and less constructive. Too bad this happened, it had potential.
Moreover, I am not too much of a supporter of traditional communism, but rather the deeper and mor extensive version of it. That includes slowly getting rid of the nation per se and keep people living without a political engine telling them what to do. The greatest flaw of this system is that you have to include the entire globe or it is doomed to fail and even then there needs to be a long incubation period during which the nation slowly withers away and gives the population time to adjust. Time in the order of decades that is.
Capitalism by default.
A true communist state will never be able to occur due to the need for a ruling class and just basic human nature in general and quasi-Communist states like China, Cuba, and the USSR are little more than glorified dictatorships.
Well, so is the USA, but too little people actually talk about it.
Dubai in the Middle East is pretty damn close. That place has no income taxes and special tax-free zones for businesses. Pretty all the services there are paid for by oil revenues. Dubai has expericenced extremely rapid growth within the last 15 years or so and many multinational businesses like Haliburton have moved their base of operations there. It'll be interesting to see how things turn out in 25 years or so there.
I am fairly sure you got this one wrong. IIRC Dubai's oil revenue go to the bank account of the royal family while taxation on imports actually run the country along with occasional loans given by the royal family.
