As defined my Karl Marx:
A stateless, moneyless, classless society in which the means of production are owned by everyone instead of private companies |

Good communism : Never happened and only possible under 2 circumstances
1: The world is 1 entire nation
2: People arent close minded idiots about it
Bad communism: Soviets, Cuba, China |

2: People arent close minded idiots about it ------------- Robert Owen had an experiment where they weren't close minded and wanted this to work.. And the following happened:
Out of 1,000 people only 137 were employed. There was a shortage of food as hardly any crops were harvested. Many buildings were in need of maintenance but very few had the skills to repair them [source: https://www.usi.edu/hnh/pdf/Expanded%20Text%20on%20the%20Owen-Maclure%20Experiment.pdf]
It was an economic disaster. |

read #1 that solve the problem ------------------------------ Let me get this straight. If it can't even function on such a smaller scale that it should be easier to manage these things it should work on a larger scale when the difficulty to manage these things increases? Why would that solve any of the problems I named. |

| If it was a larger scale there would be #1 more jobs and # more resources to use. |

Communism is bad in all of it's permutations.
Whether theoretical or practical, it is by far one of the worst systems ever created in the history of mankind's existence.
It's good it never took hold. |

Nobody owns anything. Everybody is poor. I could tell you the origin story of Canada. |

| I believe it's when everything is the state's property, and that the state controls everything. |

At least half of my extended family was killed during Mao's Great Leap Forward. No word on how many of them were taken away for being political dissenters. |

| You could use a lot of things like China as examples of socialism gone wrong, but communism hasn't existed and is never going to. |

"You could use a lot of things like China as examples of socialism gone wrong"
In terms of sticking with socialist teachings, China went horribly wrong.
In terms of economic growth, China went horribly right. |
