I am a Communist, really I am, a die-hard communist in fact, though I hate the 'C' word. I have been a communist for as long as I can remember (at least since I have cared enough to think about government) but even I see that the system has serious flaws. What I want this thread to be is a re-working of communism. A thread where we discuss what communism is, what we want it to be, and idea's to make it that way. By the way, when I say Communism, I don't mean it as in the Russian style of Communism, I mean something more open.

There are a few things that I don't want here;

1. Although I will accept some debate as for as pro/Anti Communism goes, I want the main focus of the thread to be as described above. Also, anyone who points out a flaw should then help to work it out.

2. Posts such as 'Communism is gay, it never works'. As posted above, some debate will be accepted, but comments like these are not debate, they are trash.

3. Less annoying than the 'communism is gay' statement is the 'Anyone who has read an Econ. book realizes that communism doesn't work' statement. Once again, we are here to talk about fixing the idea that is communism.

Please post your thoughts.
