Bainbridge in reply to @Sumo

Whether the idea behind the ideology is a good one, once it's been put in to practice we can see whether if it's good for humanity, or bad.

For me, communism works well on paper, but once you put humans in there with all their complexities and multitude of motivations, it always becomes a horror show. It doesn't matter if the idea itself didn't cause those killings, once people were involved it did.

I'm not drawing an equivalent of Nazism and Communism. I'm saying they are both are extreme and both should be avoided for the good of humanity.

I agree. But I don't believe that someone saying they're a communist means they want to resurrect the USSR, especially a young person who's grown up in this country with a failing economy and declining public services.

It’s quite possible to go and live in a communist way. Living in a proper self-sufficient community, on some peninsula of NZ or something. Nobody needs to die.

..... however you could make the same argument for National Socialism.
