Forms of Government 1 - Post 2

What is the perfect form of government? Most forms of government seem perfect on paper, but once they are carried out, many things go wrong. The egos and greed of politicians take over and the ideologies goes out of wack. So seeing as there is no real perfect form of government, there must be a best right? People have different opinions, and those opinions are most of the time controlled by others. But we'll get to that later.

There are many forms of governments. Many of them are mixed together to create the governments of today. I could fill this box with them. But I will only write about five that have impacted our world the most. Communism, Democracy, Autocracy, Socialism and Capitalism. All talk about each and how each have been used. I'll post about each one once in a while. Maybe every month or so.

First off is my choice to which I find best. Communism. It is, in a nutshell, common ownership, no classes, focused on the worker. Focused on the majority that make the society tick. A pure system of everyone working towards the greater good. Looks great on paper. Yet, has failed to fully prove itself. Unlike other forms of government, communism is very fragile. If it is morphed to much it topples. Look at the Soviet Union. In the Day of Lenin, Stalin, and Khrushchev, the Soviet Union was a pure communist nation. A great pride was installed into the people. But after Brezhnev, the country went south, very fast. Many things were changed, tipping the scale towards Capitalism more than Communism. Communism and Capitalist ideals don't get along. Wide stretched poverty, food shortages, and general disorganization lead to the collapse of the USSR in 1991. There are 5 communist countries left on the Earth today. China, North Korea, Vietnam, Laos and Cuba. China is joke of communism, many billionaires live in China, how is there billionaires if common ownership is supposed to be instilled. China has a stock market, how very Capitalist. North Korea is more communist nation than China. They have kept the general idea of communism, and I give them a kudos. What bothers me about NK is that they over exploit communism. "Working for the greater good," is turned into, "I slave you to do this because it is good for the country." Nope still not pure. Vietnam and Laos are quiet countries, I don't really know what goes on there. Cuba is as close as it gets today. A misconception in Communism is that it causes poverty. No, no, no. Everyone lives the same. You work for your share of the country and thats what you get, nothing more, nothing less. NO CLASSES.
Communism is very hard to carry out, but once it is, it works wonders.

I'll be writing about democracy next month. Put your suggestions for my next post in the comments.
