| Message | Actually communism is a good idea in paper. It would work in if the people in charge didn't take advantage of it forming dictatorships or monarchies. |

| Message | I do not think communism is a good idea, and based on previous nations who have attempted communism I can say that: 1. It promotes a government controlled economy 2. It promotes a society controlled by the government, where some civil liberties are very weak (eminent domain and spying on the citizens for example) Both of those are things that are the opposite of what I stand for. I dont really agree with communism in theory eather (from each according to its ability, to each according to its need), but the problem with communsim is that it leaves to much into the hands of the government, which usally turns out corrupt from all its power |

| Message | That's why on paper it sounds good but in practice it turns to corruption and power is given to only one small group of people. On paper, communism is not supposed to violate civil liberties and spy on people, that's what dictators do. |

| Message | I think communism is really easy to manipulate. However, A communistic base on society is not a bad thing. Things such as food, shelter, and clothes for those who haven't managed to do so themselves. I don't mean everyone gets the same as there are many opportunities to break away from bare minimum, but the unfortunate will be able to survive. |
