sheep syndrome and selfishness and greed are problems. There are many problems. Not any one is really THEE problem. Lazy thinking and herd mentality are problems. Communism is a word used to invoke fear, just like capitalism is used to invoke a sense of superiority. People are people. There is no system, communist or capitalist or whatever, that is not ruined by GREED. If we can figure out ways to temper greed and encourage compassion and selflessness, at least with things that are vital and necessary, we may do better as a species in general.
My reply was to Blaize, who is a Communist and who appears to believe that Communism holds the answers to mankind's problems. It does not. At best, it's just another form of tyranny. At worst, it's body count is in the tens of millions, around about 50 million in China.
