An open debate with my girlfriend and whoever else on communism...
So Megan says that in theory that communism is a good idea. I guess it could be. But I would argue that communism promotes laziness in some and frustration in the rest. God has given us the desire to do a hard days work. Its in one of the epistles where it talks about working hard. I am at work and feel I should get back soon so I don' t have too much time to look. This doesn't mean that we should find fulfillment through our jobs, but that we should contribute to society in some way. I suppose everyone contributes to society in some way in communism, but when we all get paid equal amounts is that fair.
Let's say a man named "Crapbag" works at Ford in a communist society building engines. He works 12 hour days. And his friend Princess Consuela Banana-Hammock works at the olive factory putting the reddish middle parts into the olives. This job does not take much skill and is very repetitive. Princess Consuela is usually gets to work around 10 and leaves at about 4 or 5. At the end of every week each gets their paycheck directly deposited into their National Bank of Stalin accounts and the amounts are the xact same. This does not seem quite fair at all. It's just silly to pay people the same amounts of money for doing two different jobs that are at the opposite spectrums of the difficulty scale. ITS MADNESS! Why should crapbag have to slave away while princess banana-hammock can just pop middles into olives and call it a day and get paid the same. It isn't the way God intended in my opinion. If the princess wants a better job ina capitalistic society where she gets paid as much as crapbag she should get more training. I know I will have better thoughts later. Give it time to stew...give me yours!
