PROOF: Communism! It works!
I came across a post of mine from last year that I never published on my old blog. I thought I’d post it up now, seeing as the AP World History Test is just around the corner.
Communism. What the butt IS it?
^this (no, not really)
Well, I dont really know, but basically this is what I figured out. Communism is like, the ultimate society. Like everything just WORKS! /*like an iPad? */
Basically, when Communism succeeds, there’s no real government, and everybody does their job, and excels at their job and doesn’t do any other job. All food and energy is distributed evenly, every task is never a minor task. If one screws up, if one doesn’t fit the status quo, that person is discarded, because simply one’s life is meaningless compared to the hundreds upon thousands of other lives working maintain order. That person is simply replaced with another, and there are endless others to replace other defective units.
Sounding familiar yet? Let’s continue with the picture.
There are plenty of things that can disrupt Communism though. Sufficient trauma to, say, the heart in the society can completely destroy the civilization, unless treated immediately and effectively, and sometimes this doesn’t work either. Sometimes, within the society, a cancer comes up, and brings about a rebellion of sorts, something that grows in size, and if not discovered and dealt with immediately, can spread to other parts of the body society and create insurgents there, bringing down the civilization painfully from within.
I think you have the idea.
Communism HAS been achieved before, in the form of life. Essentially, if one looks at the human body, there are an enormous amount of cells, each with their own specific job. There’s no brain cell that attempts to digest food, there’s no blood cell that attempts to grow hair. There’s no real government in the human body, because each cell has their own set of instructions in the DNA.
That being said, Communism will never actually work with human beings as far as we’re concerned, and our concern ends at around December of 2012. As a general rule, with a few exceptions, human nature is such that everybody wants the ability to have options. They don’t want to be conformed to a certain task for the rest of their life, they want to go for whatever they want. If they decide to change halfway through their goal, they can do that. That ideal is what made America so popular in the years after WWII. “The Land of Opportunity” they called it. And they had it right. People migrated to America in droves.
Who wouldn't want to be us? LOOK AT US!
If Communism is to ever work, it needs to be started from the bottom up, like a baby (artificial insemination?). It shouldn’t have a previous government in place that is overthrown for the next big thing. Which is why I suggest, that if we, the human race, were to colonize the Moon, or Mars, or Alpha Centauri (The Milliways/Restaurant at the End of the Universe?), and no country has the gall to claim it for themselves, who knows? The new government there could be a Communism. Led by yours truly. /*And by yours truly, I mean Ken.*/
