 # Communism
 
-Communism (from *communis* -- common, shared) is a very wide term which most generally stands for the idea that sharing and equality should be the basic values of a society; as such it is a [leftist](left_right.md) idea which falls under [socialism](socialism.md) (i.e. basically focusing on people at large). There are very many branches, theories, political ideologies and schools of thought somewhat based on communism, for example [Marxism](marxism.md), [Leninism](leninism.md), [anarcho communism](ancom.md), primitive communism, Christian communism etc. -- of course, some of these are good while others are evil and only abuse the word communism as a kind of *brand* (as also happens e.g. with [anarchism](anarchism.md)). Sadly after the disastrous failure of the violent pseudocommunist revolutions of the 20th century, most people came to equate the word communism with oppressive militant regimes, however we have to stress that **communism is NOT equal to [USSR](ussr.md), Marxism-Lenninism, Stalinism or any other form of pseudocommunism**, on the contrary, such regimes were rather hierarchical, violent and pseudocommunist, often downright [fascist](fascism.md). We ourselves embrace true communism and base our [LRS](lrs.md) and [less retarded society](less_retarded_society.md) on ideas of unconditional sharing. **Yes, large communist societies have existed and worked**, for example the [Inca](inca.md) empire worked without [money](money.md) and provided FREE food, clothes, houses, health care, education etc. Many other communities also work on more or less communist principles, see e.g. Jewish kibbutz, Sikhist [langar](langar.md), [free software](free_software.md), or even just most families for that matter. The color [red](red.md) is usually associated with communism and the "hammer and sickle" (U+262D) is taken as its symbol, though that's mostly associated with the evil communist regimes and so its usage is to be greatly considered.

 Nowadays the politics of most first world countries is based on elections and voting by people, but despite this being called democracy by the propaganda the reality is [de facto](de_facto.md) not a democracy but rather an [oligarchy](oligarchy.md), the rule THROUGH the people, creating an illusion of democracy which however lacks a real choice (e.g. the [US](usa.md) two party system in which people can either vote for capitalists or capitalists) or pushes the voters towards a certain choice by huge propaganda, misinformation and manipulation.

+Small brain simplification of democracy to mere "voting" may be highly ineffective and even dangerous. Democracy was actually considered to be very weak or even downright bad by many Greek philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle. We have to realize that **sometimes voting is awesome, but sometimes it's an extremely awful idea**. Why? Consider the two following scenarios:
 
 - **On simple issues wisdom of the crowd work very well**, as demonstrated by the famous experiment in which averaging guesses of many people on a number of beans in a jar resulted in an extremely precise estimate, a much more precise than any man alone could give. This is an example of when voting is the superior solution to making a decision.
 - **Non-experts voting on complex issues and voting on issues requiring large vision is a disaster** (which is why we mostly don't have direct democracy but rather representative one). Many retarded rightists believe direct democracy would somehow be "better" -- no, it would be indeed be infinitely worse to let braindead rednecks vote on complex issues. When a [chess](chess.md) grandmaster plays against thousands of people who make moves by voting, the master easily wins, as demonstrated e.g. by the Karpov vs the World (or Twitch plays Pokémon lol) experiment (later projects such as Kasparov vs the World had to somehow moderate and filter the move votes to give the world a chance). The reason is that the majority of weak moves voted by non-experts outweight the few good votes of experts, but also ADDITIONALLY even if only expert votes are takes, the result may be inferior because different long-term plans and visions will collide with the long term plans of others, which is probably the reason why e.g. Romans used to elect a single dictator in times of a crisis rather than relying on a council of experts. In such cases democracy may be similar to wanting to create a nice picture by averaging all pictures ever made by all people, the result will probably be just an ugly gray noisy blob (imagine e.g. creating a picture by having many pictures "vote" on color of every pixel simply by voting for the color they have on the same pixel position { Actually I've tried this now and yes, it looks just like a noisy gray blob. ~drummyfish } ). This is why it's a very bad idea to have people vote directly e.g. on complex economic or diplomatic issues. We have to say [we](we.md) do NOT advocate for dictators (we are anarchists) -- we rather believe in implementing a [decentralized](decentralization.md), self-regulating society in which we avoid the need for any dictators or governments.

+If you think [they](they.md) can't do something, you are wrong; unless it is directly violating a law of physics, they can do it. For example you may think "haha they can't start selling air, people would revolt", "hahaaa, they can't make people believe 1 + 1 equals 2000, it's too obvious of a lie" or "hahaaa they can't lie about history when there is a ton of direct evidence for the contrary freely accessible on the internet, they can't censor something that's all over the internet and in billions of books" -- yes, they can do all of this. With enough [capitalism](capitalism.md) you can make people believe a circle to be square, they have already made people desire their everyday torture, they made people believe colors and offensive statistics are just culturally constructed hallucinations, feminists have already made people widely believe a woman can beat an adult man -- a naive man of the past would likely believe this to be impossible as well. Well, we see under capitalism it is quite possible.
