Debate:Should the United States have eliminated communism in North Korea (view source)
Revision as of 20:09, June 29, 2007
, 20:09, June 29, 2007→Communism hasn't ever existed
Real communism has never really existed in North Korea, it existed in Russia for a few years until Stalin though.
Real communism has never really existed in North Korea, it existed in Russia for a few years until Stalin though.
:Your argument is misleading, as you are changing the meaning of the term ''communism''. If by "real communism" you mean "the stateless stage of society after [[socialism]] enforced by [[dictatorishp]] has naturally withered away" then you are right (although still misleading).
:If you use the word the way the framer of the question meant it, then you are simply in error. [[Communism]] (i.e., state-enforced [[socialism]] of the Marxist variety) has most certainly existed in North Korea. It was brutal, atheistic, and managed to starve and impoverish the populace almost as severely as [[Pol Pot]] did in [[Cambodia]].
:I suggest you re-read history. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 16:09, 29 June 2007 (EDT)
