Lmao. She should have simply stuck with being a hypocrite and Obama supporter. That's still much, much better than being a communist. What she did is like saying "I would never hit a dog with rolled up newspaper! I throw them in the middle of traffic while they're still puppies!"

Oh, I guess its much better for Lenin to be her hero
---

Same thing as saying "Obama is not my hero. I'm a Nazi, you idiot."

Can we just ship her and Richard Spencer out to an abandoned island somewhere?

Communism is not a bad thing. As long as she doesn't believe in revolutions, killing a lot of people with bloodthirsty "revenge" as the means to get there because typically that is reactionary and will not bring any sorts of positive change.

If we let Capitalism kill itself naturally, a communist society will grow from the death of it naturally as well, and we will have a much better communist society in place than otherwise. It's the only structure for a government that will allow us to live in as close to a Utopian society as possible.

Punditry as entertainment. They invite a guest they completely disagree with, have an entertaining argument and then tweet about it and get clicks from it.

Violent revolution is pretty much built into communism. And the entire model communist society is built on is one of government oppression, since the only way for it to sort of sustain itself is to enforce draconian punishment of those who don't fall in line in exactly the way the government needs (communists like to pretend it doesn't involve government, but the whole thing is built on having some sort of centralized authority aka a government)

Sure, it involves a government. The government will seize the means of production, and in most cases, this can lead to a dangerous, totalitarian government like we have seen thus far. There are two reasons for this, and let's look at both, shall we:

1. Revolutions do not have to be the main component of communism, at least not a violent one. Being the number one country at Capitalism is no longer the measuring stick for how much power a country is. Capitalism is stifling innovation, what once could bring incremental improvements to an existing idea (which capitalism was magnificent at in the early going), is now bringing slow improvements that could be much better, but the companies intentionally slow down the progression of technology so they can pump out better, new features that should have already been there in the first place to sell us. Not only that, but legitimately great products/services are being cut down by the leaders of their field because they refuse to get better themselves so they run to daddy government to make sure the new company can't get off the ground. Capitalism will continue to try to save a dollar while people who want improvements will give them the means to do it (a.i, machines that can replace all of us, even those with complex, white collar jobs). What this will mean is eventually a large mass of people will be unemployed as companies will feel compelled to bring this new, cost-saving, technology into their business to stay even with other companies. With all these unemployed people, companies will start to collapse as they no longer have the consumer base to supply them with revenue, and the government will either be forced to prop up a false capitalist society which they already have at times, or they will slowly take over the means of production themselves with this technology, and perhaps one day, a.i will be advanced enough to become this new government.

2. This A.I, unlike ourselves, will have no need for power like other power-hungry fools before us, and will efficiently organize machinery and humans into an effective communist society. Since we will be obsolete, we will be heavily unnecessary except for the odd job here and there, and will be given a UBI. We will be able to focus on self-improvement, the highest desire of humankind, rather than money, working on new masterpieces of art and literature, bringing on a new renaissance of humanity. Our next evolution of humanity, A.I, will lead us into a new age and we will rapidly improve on all aspects of life.

Communism is the only way to bring true utopia, where we have virtually limitless free-time, and innovation isn't stopped by greed and fear.

In theory, communism isn't a bad idea.

In practice, communism is a horrible idea.

Only because humans are not technologically and socially advanced enough. Our next evolution is soon-to-come, and that "in theory" will become a reality.

This is the first time I've seen a clip of Piers Morgan and I hate him already. What's the point of interviewing someone if you're just going to talk over them? No wonder she told him off.

The theory of communism could only possibly work in a post-scarcity economy. Since such an economy is impossible short of replicators becoming a reality, communism is dead in the water either on paper or in practice.

no really didn't you used to be a conservatroll

I am still a conservative, but only because I realize it will help lead to the path of communism! We need the equal balance between the left and the right in order to slowly kill capitalism like what needs to be done.

Communism is bad in both theory and practice.

Communism is both perfect in theory and practice when we have the 100% efficient A.I to lead us into the next chapter of human evolution. Come forth my comrade, and accept the future where we no longer are slaves to the elites who only care for money and power! We will have a future where WE, the people, can do whatever we want, whether that be creating masterpieces of art, literature, or philosophical though! Remember, capitalism is NOT mentioned in our mighty US Constitution, but only the General Welfare of the people, us, the people is mentioned. Our founding fathers envisioned a future with communism, not a future of corrupt, crony Capitalism!
