If bad things are never allowed to happen to good ppl, then isn't what you have basically communism?

Tell that to the Chinese whose incomes have risen in the last decade.

WOW!!! That's quite the line of rhetoric... No logic but quite the rhetoric... Sounds kind of like, when I'm ready for a laugh.... While going someplace in the car, or truck... I'll try finding Rush-in, on the radio... From day to day,,, good old Rush-in, sounds a lot like Flip Flopney... Consistently saying, "I didn't say that"... But I heard him, first hand... If not yesterday, the day before...

I think that the many hundreds of millions of people that do, or have lived under communism would differ with your assessment that bad things didn't happen to them.

Communists helped defeat Hitler and the Nazi's, liberated many death camps and almost won the space race.

Communism is an economic party. Not a government.

lol communism is not about 'good' people. it concerns itself with poor layers of society, namely, proletariat. maybe, i misunderstood your question though =)
