Even going by The Communist Mannifeto, it's a fucking retarded idea.
Do you really support, a theory that advocates:[*]Abolition of personal property, and inheretence.[*]A state-controlled education monopoly, which is an excuse to indoctinate the "correct" philosophy. NO PRIVATE ALTERNATIVES. PERIOD.(Not original to the Communist Manifesto)[*]Taxing the rich until they are poor. Why make more money if the state will steal it all away?(Not original to the Communist Manifesto)[*]No personal transportation, busses and subways for everyone.[/list]Retarded idea, any way you put it.
Capitalism kicks ass.

I don't have my copy of "Communist Manifesto" with me at work, but I am pretty sure you don't have one nearby either. So we'll take a look at Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Communist_Manifesto
Please notice that none of the stuff you claim to know about communism is mentioned there. In fact, these are common unintelligent criticisms of communism by people who have no idea what the fuck they are talking about.
Furthermore, note that the "Communist Manifesto" is a theoretical essay, not some speech Lenin read when he took over Russia. You ascribe to it power that it doesn't have. No book is so fundamental that it represents everything, not even the Bible.
Now, don't get me wrong, I don't believe Marx was perfectly right. But I don't think he was perfectly wrong either. And I don't want to argue the relative merits of communism/Marxism anyway. I just wish to make sure that nobody I know is spreading mistruths or outright lies about communism.

Not really retarded, I think there should be equality in the world. Communism is still in alpha stage development yet. Actually I am not sure if it even compiles yet, let alone runs.

If your a selfish, self-centred, prick, who is willing to leave half the world is poverty, then yes.

Better half the world, than all of it.
Implementation is a needed part of a good idea. Guess what, if it can't be implemented, IT DOESN'T WORK. Why should I use software that is "better", yet it can't even compile yet.
Take an economics class at some point, you lean things that are important to not being an idiot. Like the fact that economics is not, nor will it ever be, about fairness. only the most efficient solution.
Kintaro:
I never said we had to use it yet. But I believe it can work in time, besides I think most of Communism sucks anyway. I am more into the idea of eligitarianism and other things. However the most important aspect is democracy which has been neglected in nearly every communist/socialist regime to date. That is the problem, if we can democratically have a eligtarian/commie/socialist regime, that would be ideal.
