]]> Comment on Socialist Experiment in Grand Rapids by GRPundit http://www.grpundit.com/2011/05/18/socialist-experiment-in-grand-rapids/#comment-749 GRPundit Wed, 06 Jul 2011 23:11:13 +0000 http://www.grpundit.com/?p=633#comment-749 Thank you for making my point. Communism/socialism are inherently violent philosophies because they require violence to both a) gain power, and b) retain power. You say that communism is a dictatorship over society, government, and the economy. You fail to mention that it is also a dictatorship over individuals. In order for communism to remain for any period of time, individuals must be subjected to the will of the majority with no interest in individual freedom or personal initiative. This dictatorship is everywhere and always violent, bloody, and an ultimate failure. Thank you for making my point.

What s/he fails to mention is that it is a dictatorship of the people over society, government, and the economy. It is irresponsible to look at one portion of the history of socialist/communist societies and judge the entire system as such. The most popular socialist societies is recent history did have brutal beginnings, however these beginnings may have been necessary as peaceful overthrow of individual owned capital is nearly impossible (i.e., how do you remove weapons from weapons dealers?). Violence and tyrannical rule were devices used to remove the profit motive from society and uplift people out of capitalistic system NOT characteristics of communism or socialism itself.
