Why Communism Will Never Work | Grunt Speak Shorts

We do ourselves a disservice when we artificially inflate the numbers to the point of ridiculousness. If the USSR had killed 100's of millions of its own people, it would have caused its own extinction; there wouldn't have been anyone left in the USSR. The more accurate figure is somewhere around 30 million dead.

Still horrific, still inexcusable, and in no way am I being an apologist for vile Communism. But if we want to be taken seriously, then let's stick to the more accurate guestimates lest we risk being called out for BS by the opposing side who will then take a quote of an exaggerated "...hundreds and hundreds of millions dead!" as a means of discrediting our arguments against Communism

Communism is just a different side of the tyrannical turd. Maybe another flavor, but a turf is a turd.

Years ago at one of the dog parks I would take my boy, one of the fellow dog owners was a woman from China that came here when she was in her early 20's. She was VERY adamant about how much she hated communism.

I think the title is misleading. It should read... "Why Communism Will Never Work For The Non-Elites"

Every person who says "it was done wrong" or "it'll work this time" actually means "if only I was in charge". It's pure ego.
