In communism, the government owns absolutely everything. Anything from your business to your paycheck, and on occassion, to what you are allowed to believe. Essentially, they own your life. This type of government is absolutely AWFUL for anyone who works their ass off. If you enjoy working as well as keeping everything that you earn from working your ass off, then heed my warning: DO NOT BECOME A COMMUNIST.
However, if you are the type of person that enjoys being an oaf and simply lying around or looking up different exoctic porn sites while at work, then, by all means, become a communist. You will earn just as much money for a hundredth (spelling?) the work that your boss does! Sounds pretty awesome doesnt it? Isn't that what is being preached? Isn't that what you are being told "OUR" generation is all about? Getting as much as possible for as little of work as possible?
NO! Our generation is called the "WHY" generation. I do not have a problem with that until it is interpreted in communist like ways. What I take from that is; Why? What is in it for me? How am I going to benefit from doing something like this? What will I earn from doing this amount of work? This is the beauty of CAPITALISM! (which I will explain in a different posting)
When your inferior is earning just as much money as you but doing a half-ass job that requires half the effort as what you do, you feel pretty unmotivated, wouldn't you? I recently completed a school project in which we needed a partner. We had to create a presentation. Being the genius of a man that I am, I decided to be the coordinator of the project. I split up the assignments that we were given between my partner and I. Also being the genius that I am, I dont like trusting other people to assemble that which I have coordinated and had them made. It's a personal thing. And I am not going to make my partner lose points for something such as that. However, when my partner does not even a single word of her work that she was suppose to do, and causes me to stay up until 4:50 AM! the night before it was due, then I have a problem. Only aafter something like that does my partner not deserve to recieve her points!! Whats worse, she still demanded to put her name on it! You think this is all bad... it only gets worse.
This is where the point of me writing about how shitty communism is comes in.
While I easily had the right to tell my partner "NO!" and not put her name on the project, as I did, she also has the right to act as she believes she should. She also has the right to be a complete dumb ass. She went to our teacher and explained the story in the way that is saying something without actually saying it. Implying something, but not giving full proof or reason for it having actually had happened. My teacher pulled me up and listened to both our sides. A very just this of her to do. But it all counts for naught when she decides to impliment her communist ideas. She said, "It wasn't her fault that she couldn't get her work done. Unforseen events prevented her from completing her assignments."
The end result of this entire ordeal was that we both got all our points. Except for me. She TOOK- forcefully took!!!!- 5 of my points and gave them to my partner, saying, "She is failing this class, and NEEDS(!!!!!!) them more than you do."
AHHHHHHH!!!!!
In closing, COMMUNISM IS ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!!!!!
If you are reading this and believe, without a doubt, communism would make America's economic crisis go away, leave now. Unless you want to hear continual reasons for why your beliefs are BS.
Until my next posting which will be titled-
"Capitalism- Why Working Hard IS GOOD"

"Unforseen Events" are NOT an excuse to get a project or assignment in late. Say, that something comes up and catches you totally off guard. Easy solution- Plan ahead and don't leave yourself open to petty things like that.
ReplyDeleteBeing the sweet and considerate girl I am, lets call your partner "Them" and not release his/her name. YOU worked for the points and earned them. But your commie teacher decided to be the communist that she is, and took those away to give to Them instead of the one person who (alone) worked his ass off to get the points he should have been rewarded with.
I do not fully understand what is going on in the communist mind, and I really dont give a flying duck, but all I wish, is for them not too meddle with capitalists beliefs, activities, or earnings, because it, quite frankly, is not their place to do so. If I walk into a communists house (which I have no idea why I would), they have every right to do what they wish with my items or earnings. But if they come in to MY home, and takes MY hard works pay to give to someone in NEED, then all of Hell will break loose, because it is MY home that they are walking into. It is MY rules and MY beliefs that apply, because I am paying for that house with the money I work my ass of to earn.
I apologize for some of that. I got a little carried away. But that is my view on some of this.
Reading this makes me smile. It's exciting to see that the two of you have been able to take such broad abstract ideas and turning in to a working concept, a philosophy you guys can live by.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me feel more certain that a brighter, better day is on the horizon: a second Renaissance. It's possible, but like everything else worth achieving it must be worked for. The one thing that can be done with great ease and fantastic results is to never stay quiet when someone speaks up defending altruism, to do so grants them sanction and emboldens them to think people agree with them. You don't always have to preach a sermon or even convince them they are wrong, but it will cause that person and everyone that heard them to realize there is an alternative. Sometimes a simple I disagree is sufficient, but always be ready to defend what you know to be right.
Keep up the good work.
