Question

Why is communism considered ideal if it is undemocratic and calls for a 'dictatorship of the proletariat'?

Answer 1

Well according to the Communist theory if a real communist state was ever established (which would have to be worldwide), then it would free people from the need to work and provide people with all that they needed and everything would be relatively equal, i.e. no extremes of wealth differential.

Answer 2

how can you say its undemocartic when the whole concept is to have  a society ruled by the people and for the people; not money or politicians.

"dictatorship of the proletariat" means that the workers are the masters of their own destiny; instead of having a "dictatorship of the bourgeois" like liberal capitalism does, its the workers the ones that manage the wealth, instead of just selling ther work and making profit for the owner of the means of production.

Answer 3

Communism can never work, because the mass of the people cannot share wealth equally. It isn't in our nature to be equal. As such, a Communist state employs police to make sure everybody is equal. If you've got a pool in your backyard and your neighbor doesn't, you are no longer equal in the eyes of the state and will most likely be arrest and/or shot for a crime against the state.

Communism is a Utopian Theory that sounds good, but it fails to acknowledge that you need to enforce equality and shared wealth.

Communism is the "Road to Serfdom".

Answer 4

because theres no class difference and everyone is equal. theres no one who is extremely rich or anyone who is extremely poor. everyone is given the right amount of everything. if you can get the right leader (as in NOT greedy for power) then it can work out as an ideal goverment.
