Why was communism frowned upon by the Americans?

Answer 1

There are some key factors.

A) It is unconstitutional - because of redistribution of wealth - Income tax was unconstitutional until the 16th Amendment

B) It calls for a dictator in order to not fall apart

C) Marxist philosophers have talked about gasing those who are mentaly unfit, or disabled

D) Marxism talks about forced starilization to stop unneeded births of certain groups of people.

E) Mao Tse Sung Communist dictator of China killed between 70 Million and 80 million of his own people. To be safe I stick with saying 70 million.

F) Stalin killed between 10 million and 20 million

G) Communist dictators see the people as worker ants, and the fruit of their labor as property of the state to be used for war, causing mass starvation, and poverty

H) Communism, and Marxism sees war as the salution to economic problems (true, but prolonged war, usually ends is a broke nation)

I) Communsim you own nothing

J) Communism there is no religion

K) Communism the Government has unlimited power and can take away anay of your rights

L) Communism sees no individual rights, besides right to work, and right to rest

M) Communism always ends in a ruinned economy

N) There is not enough money in the World let alone the US for redistribution of wealth to have a possitave effect

NO!!! None of the above are correct. The whole idea of communism is a fair and equal society preferablly over the world. It only ends in a ruinned economy becasue rich people in capatalist countrys are desprate to stop communism because it means the end of rich perople like themselves so they steer the country against communism like america. People were mindwashed and tought from a young age that communism was a terrible idea. This is still tought today.

The guy above me is a idea, and typical marxist radical.

Communisma is form of socialism that abolishes private ownership, as well as socioeconomic classes.

Now to explain the reasons I listed above in more detail.

A.) "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." ~ US Bill of Rights, and 5th Amendment to the US Constitution.

B.) Communism requires either a dictatorship, or anarchy. Anarchy never lasts, and usually ends up turning into a dictatorship. Somalia is Anarchist, and use to be a Communist Dictatorship. They are war torn, and dirt poor. In a state of Anarchy, there will always be warlords, looking to take control of the region.

C.) George Bernard Shaw purchased ads in various newspapers around Europe, in which he appealed to the chemists to "discover a humane gas that will kill instantly and painlessly. In short- a gentlemanly gas deadly by all means, but humane, not cruel."

Shaw also said in a recorded interview, "I don't want to punish anybody, but there are an extraordinary number of people who I might want to kill…I think it would be a good thing to make everybody come before a properly appointed board just as he might come before the income tax commissioner and say every 5 years or every 7 years…just put them there and say , 'Sir or madam will you be kind enough to justify your existence…if you're not producing as much as you consume or perhaps a little bit more then clearly we cannot use the big organization of our society for the purpose of keeping you alive. Because your life does not benefit us and it can't be of very much use to yourself"

D. Karl Marx advocated genocide and eugenics of certain groups of people, including certain races, as well as the disabled. His reasoning was that they would hinder societal development, and he pointed to Darwinism to support this claim.

E.) Self explanatory

F.) Self explanatory

G.) Communism favors collectivism. The Individual is insignificant compared to the Collective community.

H.) Karl Marx promoted war, and pointed to Darwinism, to suggest that war helps society grow. Sun Tzu, in the book the Art of War, Said that prolonged war causes a society to collapse, as was the case with the Soviet Union.

I.) In communism there is no private property, only public property.

J.) Name a communist country that has a good economy.

K.) see B

L.) See the Soviet Constitution.

M.) See J

N.) The world population is 6.8 billion, and the world GDP is $63,040 billion. That is $9,270.59 per person. In the US an annual salary of $20,000 is considered poor.

Answer 2

There were three main reasons that Communism was opposed. The first is that Communism creates a dictatorial system, which is a violation of the rights and freedoms that Americans treasure. The second was the Communism advocates for an end to private property and the loss of individual corporate rights for communal ownership. Americans have an almost religious fixation with the idea of private property and a strong animus against any form of collectivization, leading them to reject Communism. The third reason is that Communism is Atheistic, and so many Americans wanted to continue to have religious liberties, which Communism would not allow for.

Answer 3

Communism fails, plus it's criminal.
