Communism is more democratic than capitalist democracy since in communism people own the economy--the land, labor, capital, and means.
So you're telling me that in Cuba, China and Russia all citizens have equal access to the most pristine, valuable, accessible and picturesque land and property?

In his defense, those countries are as close to communism as America is to capitalism.
In my opinion, collectivized society only works in small voluntary groups, it is not possible to enact on a large scale.

China and Russia are not communist states. They are better described as crony capitalist. In Cuba the state owns most of that via the people through the communist party so yes they own all of that.

They own the resources of the Cuban government as much as I own the resources of the American government.

Oh heck then. Well I was trying to point out a "true" communist or socialist state that exists, or one that has in the past, that was a roaring success and brought freedom and prosperity to its people. Can you help me out? I'm drawing a blank.

Yeah but public beaches bro!! We all get to use them. Just don't build your house there. Those lots are reserved for party officials. You know, the ones who throw you in jail for speaking your mind.

Blah blah blah. The nations of the EU care about us being a superpower as it absolves them from paying for their own defense and divert the monies elsewhere towards social programs.

Just a few weeks ago you were calling for concentration camps for anyone that would oppose your desires for commie paradise, take you shite show and move to Venezuela fricktard where they are right now playing that game for real and STFU on here by volunteering on your side. We can all pray you get one cap to end your miserable existence on a planet that has no use for your dreams.
You hyper patriots are worse than trekkies.

Without the freedom to decide how these things are used ownership is meaningless.

Dear Leader, can I borrow a MiG today? It is our collective property.

Since you're a socialist, wouldn't you agree that our monetary system should be liberated, nationalized, and not be controlled by a private, international banking cartel that runs a monopoly?

Someone tell me why the USA has to be the only superpower on the planet or the most powerful country on earth. Sure you get off on your USA #1 bumper sticker or front license plate but get a life. You hyper patriots are worse than trekkies.
Because peace through strength is more than a bumper sticker slogan. When another world leader is considering some action by their country I want their first thought to be" What will the possible ramifications by the U.S. be?

The last time I checked people in Denmark and Norway were pretty happy despite not being a superpower.
If America wasn't a world power, Denmark, Norway and the rest of Europe would be speaking German.

The reeducation centers will be like camps or lodges with classes and exercises to learn about capitalist oppression. People will be there for about two to three weeks and then you would move to day classes. Your jobs and homes would be secure while you attend a vacation more or less. There will be recreational opportunities and games and trust building exercises in addition to classes and re education.
