Communism is a PARADOX.
Communism is an inherently broken, and impossible ideology. I am a proud Libertarian-Socialist, no that is not an oxymoron, BUT Communism is itself A PARADOX. What is a paradox? According to Merriam-Webster, a paradox is defined as a self-contradictory statement that first seems true.
Well, how is Communism a paradox? Well, let me share with you the Communism Greed Paradox.
In order to properly function, a Communist government must be:
- Libertarian by nature
- Without greed in the government
- Everyone agrees on everything
Now, the SAME Communist government MUST HAVE these as well:
- Authoritarian by nature
- Government control
- Disagreements and opinions
Already, we have a text-book example of a paradox. Communism is still REQUIRED by nature to have complete control of the system, but in order to function properly, it needs to give out COMPLETE control to the people. Well, this is just where that paradox starts.
For Communism to not collapse, it needs a greedless government, but Communism is a solution to greed. In the end, the greed allowed by Communism is unstable, and will always end up in tyranny. However, Communism is supposed to stop tyranny.
