Communism is bloody ridiculous, there isn't a working class anymore!

Sure, back in the pre-industrial (and during the industrial revolution) the workers could of seized the means of production, yadiyadi ya.... but in a post-industrial world, this, it seems, is impossible, thanks to Thatcherism and New Labour, wealth can be created overnight, and this wealth has allowed a new middle class, a big, strong middle class to grow in Britain. Is there even a typical stereotypical working class in Britain today? No, its been replaced by lazy gits on benefits, sucking up the tax payers money (mostly payed by the middle class BY THE WAY). Do you really think a bunch of pretentious hipster nouveau riche lazy pricks are going to rise against the "man"? The only place I see communism needed is in Islamic countries, who really need to loose their religion stat, its a danger to global society, they can't even have democracy because they just vote in a dictator far worse than the one before, can anyone name me a successful Islamic democracy? Also, lets not forget, we cannot, ever be equal, ever. We can try by destroying Tax Heavens, which I see the only obstacle needed to create a fairer, equal-er society. Hope you enjoyed!

here here good sir...
I bet you love the daily mail.
This isn't Real Life but if you really do want a debate
"can anyone name me a successful Islamic democracy"
Turkey is an Islamic democracy and a key member of NATO
"Tax Heavens"
Do the inhabitants have wings and harps?
"we cannot, ever be equal, ever"
" the only obstacle needed to create a fairer, equal-er society"
OK which do you want? equality or not?
Turkey is not a successful Democracy you fool, its had 4 military coups and is not even 100 years old! Look at its current government, a bunch of islamic fascists. And I'm guessing youve never heard of the term Tax Heavens, moron. Equality of opportunity, with no one in poverty and those with big incomes being taxed. Equal-er, not equal completly, thatll never happen
someone obviously has no real clue of what Marxism actually is...
Nor that the proletariat is still very much alive.
Im aware, your just stupid
*you're
Voted funniest article I've read all day.
BTW the middle class doesn't exist.
I'd vote your comment the most retarded, no such thing as a middle class? ha, haha, really no point in arguing with you
This idea is supported by Karl Marx and hundreds of other socialist thinkers.
Remind me again how many millions of followers your economic and political ideas have?
Hang on so the working class doesn't exist? when there are people in Britain today who are starving? can't afford a house? living on the streets? Require food bail outs? nah they aren't working class.
And I would by you be classed as middle class by you due to my earnings and I like to help others in need through taxes, as I am evidently not as greedy or narrow minded as you.
The working class are dieing out, we're in the post-industrial era for christ sake, what greed? what narrow minded? Im going on facts here, your the narrow minded biggot who refuses to look at facts and just goes on silly assumptions. I'm not the one who said "BTW the middle class doesn't exist". What a fool you are
They are not dying out. Poverty is increasing. Middle class spend every day working hmm sounds like working class to me.
The idea of a middle class is subjective you can't define what people think a middle class is as it doesn't exist. Capatalists use the middle class idea to hide the facts like cutting welfare.
Summary
Capatalism = cutting taxes for rich, making poor people pay via poor welfare.
Socialism = high taxes good services.
It is an obvious choice.
Depends how you define poverty, some one who has their own studio flat could be defined as living in poverty.
People like bankers work maybe 12 hours a day, would you consider them working class? Your logic is just...amazing. The Middle Class isnt an excuse to cut welfare.
Capitalism = Richer society, Wealth for Society, Power to the People
Socialism = Fascist dictatorship where one can't go to the shop to even buy a simple chocolate bar, no choice.
If Capitalist Britain can have the NHS AND a larger state than Communist China, it clearly works. People risked their lives to escape East Berlin to go to West Berlin, not the other way
NHS was created by socialism china is communist they are different. Britain is in a tory lead govt now the defecit has increased spending has increased unemployment risen.
And would be classed as middle class due to my high education, and high earnings but i am working class. The quantity of one’s Assets or the size of his salary does not dictate his class but it is his attitude towards the exploited and the needy that defines him
i'm against communism- however the stuff about islam is really a step too far- that sort of stuff you keep to your self
why? you should grow a pair! call yourself a commie? bah, humbug
didn't call myself a commie, for our information i've got a lovely pair
