Go up one level in this thread
Zach, >Well, back in the day when communism was created by Marx, it was the concept >of workers controlling means of production and everyone having a say in the >way things were run. The problem is that a dictatorship is the logical conclusion of centrally controlled production. Someone (the government) needs to set the level of production. From this flows a dictatorship and every 'communist' state has ended up as a dictatorship - so to say it's an oxymoron is just trying to be "clever" when in reality it's just looks stupid. >Nowadays it is commonly thought that communism is a dictator >controlling all means of production and forcing workers to do specific jobs, >which is practically the complete opposite of what is originally was. It's more than "commonly thought" it's what has happened to every communist country. Anyway end of my comments in this thread as this is *way* of topic Steve
