Is Communism a good thing or a bad thing?(In a economic way)

PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING

Until a few months back I had very bad views on communism. After seeing seeing the preset developments in the global economy I am having second thoughts now.

The reason for changing my minds were –

1) In the present global downturn, Indian banks and financial institutions have weathered the financial storm. This is thanks to the the govt controlled and regulated banking system in India. This has helped absorb the strains.

2) Tata-AIG is an Isurance agency , with AIG having23% stake. The Govt wanted to increase the FDI cap to 50%, the communists being part of the Govt, oppsed it and the "reform"did not happen. If the The reformed had gone on to see the light of day, TATA-AIG would have been in soup.

3) Devlopment in Kerala. Kerala a state in India, were the communists for the first time elected democratically in the world.The social development is really good, has 100% literacy, life expecteancy is 80+ years, has 1024:1000 women to man sex ratio.

4) China – Forget about tall rising buildings, China can show good figures in agricultural sector. many scientific methods have been implemented, and has better land to produce ratio than US.Living standerd of farmers is higher than compared to india.

5) they could bring about job security!!

on the flip side,

Communists are against religion, and can be very opperessive. In india they are natorious for thier "striks"(industrial lock downs). Party officials becomre richer and people in general poorer. 

Now the question are communists  a necessary evil?

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND

This is not about one party repressive  "communist" style functioning that functioned in Russia. 

Please Keep religion off this discussion

Why don't muslim ppl like communism…Becoz they think that comunism againt to ISLAM..

first commusnism is not just against islam, its against all religions, otherwise, it is not the only reason that muslims and non-muslims and most of athiests don't like communism it is for many reasons. read the history of the communism and look at the people in the current communist countries and you will know why.

Nobody has to like me or my religion..But everyone has to respect me and my religion,ISLAM…

i don't think if communism has been applied that it will respect you or your religion.

Note: "Why ppl always get me wronge…I didn't say that I believe in Science. and i am atheist"

if you meant me sorry but i didn't get you wrong! i didn't say that you are athiest maybe you are more muslim than me

Memocan Im :)

to Java,

there is nothing new in what you have said!!

just i want you to ask your self how could Muhammed knew all this information, anyway i am waiting your emails.

java,it's ok for me.but, it sounded like prohibition.

i agree with levicantu.comunism has too much things against our interests and human natures and that leads straight to frustration .men want to have  their own choices,to venture and assume the result.

levicantu, Please, explain to me more understandably what the reason you dislike communism is. Dostoevky too hard for me.

Привет, levicantu! 

Communism, as any other conception of an ideal society, is utopia. The people must change itself to be ready to build such society. Human frailties impedes that. 

So, granting that Mensheviks and Bolsheviks are members of the same political party, Russian Social Democratic Working Party, I can draw conclusion you are communist.
