Do you think we will ever the emergence of another great communist power in the world?

Question

Communism everywhere is fading into history. China still has a totalitarian regime in charge, but that might change one day too.

Will we ever see the emergence of another communist super power?

Answer 1

Yeah, the United States if the Democrats get control of the White House.

Answer 2

China is a communist super power. I hope that a new one won't emerge but with the current situation I can't be sure.

Answer 3

Who thought of Soviet Communism before Lenin? Naziism before Hitler?  What about Islamic Fundamentalism before Khomeni?  European Social Democracy?  Although they built on previous philosophies, those were only implemented for the first time in the past 100 years.  Our system was a unique innovation only 100 years before that.  

I think you will see forms of government that you have never even thought of in the next 100 years.  They will have things in common with previous systems, but there will be something  unique too.  Each system builds on the ones that came before, trying to draw on and incorporate their successes and trying to avoid their failures. Social evolution always moves two steps forward then one step back.

Answer 4

Sadly, it may be the United States. The more liberal our country becomes, the more Socialist we become, and socialism leads to communism.

That is why the idea of Barack Obama being our next President scares the c**p out of me. He will socialize of health care. He will take away our weapons He will take wealth distribution even further and before you know it....everything will be out of our hands and the government will completely control our lives....

That is not something I am looking forward to, but sadly with Liberalism being so "cool" now....it may very well happen.

Answer 5

Unlikely because communism has proven to be a failure.

Answer 6

Only if the global economy collapses.

Answer 7

Not likely, the history of Communism is pretty brutal.  Ukrainians under Stalin, Cultural Revolution in China, Re-Education Camps in Vietnam, Khmer Rouge in Cambodia.

There are a few holdouts, like Cuba, North Korea and Myanmar (Burma)...but their economies are shot.  Cuba likes to claim US Sanctions, but most of Europe and others have dropped their sanctions which makes you wonder why is their economy hinged on the US?

China will probably be the only successful Communist Power because they have adopted Capitalism.  They won't be going away any time soon.

Communism is popular with poor people in Third World Countries because they promote the idea of Wealth / Land Re-Distribution.  In actual practice, the Ruling Party still lives better than any of their common citizens.

Hmmm...Wealth Re-Distribution...what other Political Parties promote that?
