How can communism replace capitalism?

Answer 1

There are a number of ways. The most common way is through economic collapse and poverty, which is mostly how it came into being in the former Soviet Union.

Communism offers itself as a solution to poverty by forming a classless society in which everyone is supposedly entitled to the same level of basic and austere lifestyle, which is not much better than poverty, and sometimes much worse. Since large central government runs everything, the people are dependent on them, regardless of how corrupt or apathetic they are towards their citizens.

Prior to Hitler taking control of Germany after his election in 1933, the communists were making a lot of progress, and nearly had a shot at getting control of Germany before Hitler did. At the time, Germany was wracked with severe economic collapse and inflation, poverty, starvation and more.

Today, we have an entire generation of Americans who have not been taught American history, know little or nothing about the history of their own nation, and the long march that got us to where we are. These uneducated masses easily swallow whatever false swill that their contemporaries and the media feeds to them without question. Now they are trying to sell this younger generation on the idea of socialism/communism (without coming right out and saying it, of course.)

There is no arguing this. It is the truth. Redistribution of wealth IS communism or socialism waiting in the wings. Rather than taking responsibility for their own condition and striving for a better living, many are content to accept being told that they are "victims" or have been "oppressed" in spite of the fact that they have a much higher standard of living than most of the world population, and developing a sense of entitlement. This is another way that communism can replace capitalism.

Answer 2

By workers becoming class-conscious and deciding to replace a society of poverty and exploitation and artificial scarcity with a Communist world of abundance, equality and democratic control.
