Doesn’t matter who or what(men or a principle) but there was something always ruling over us, We always needed someone to direct us in the right path or at least we assumed it that way but in the end people always understood their assumptions where nothing but uncertain, miscalculated presumptions which failed miserably.
I never understood how an idea like communism could fail just like that, given to the revolutions and the so many goals they achieved in a short period people would have guessed the idea of “world revolution” would at least be in effect for a short period, at the least it will gain some momentum but nothing of the sort happened even the mighty USSR collapsed with simple coup de tats.
I never understood anything until I decided to write a post on the topic, the reasons and solutions suddenly started popping out from no where which I can honestly say is a coincidence, but to explain things in detail I will just stick to the reasons for the fall in this post.
How can an idea that represents and favors the majority of the populace can fail, there must be a mistake or an error somewhere or there is a chance that there are errors everywhere.
The ideas that formed the base of communism as important as collectivization were implemented with out any pre-calculations which proved fatal as farmers who were the very base of the countries in which industrial revolution was yet to be established lost their lands to the govt and were forced to depend on the govt was a death blow to their self respect and people started looking for an opportunity to break free, we all are well aware that communism was nourished and fed well by the bad deeds of the rulers of then Russia (tsars) and other rulers of European countries so naturally people detested monarchy but then the communist rule led to nothing but the same. In the end communism was the reincarnation of monarchy, dictatorship based on its revolutionary ideals.
One of the most famous quote about communism by a person I forgot whom “people will work based on their abilities and will be served based on their needs” it was unacceptable by the hard workers as their work was enjoyed by some one else merely by the fact that their needs were more. This lead to new confusions as people had new ideas of how to stop working and increase their needs by other means which we know are world famous. Economic break down which affected the masses In no way mattered to the rulers since communism doesn’t consider or give weight to individuals but see the state as a single organism and people as cells that keep the organism alive and sacrificing a few cells only meant replacements are on the way but the cycle failed to cease. Eventually some of the few successful communist countries adapted some capitalistic principles when it came down to the matter of survival
Solutions to all these problems are actually simple but were never tried as leaders always succumbed to power, the very prospect of having the ultimate power in their hold is like a drug that keeps them in a trance, in a state of euphoria which they never wanted to let go of their hands.
Instability was another major reason since the power lays in a single person number 2’s, military generals, all kind of officials started looking for opportunities to gain power.
The solution is a society which has all the positives of the communism and capitalism but none of their negatives. A society strong enough with an economic net that will help out all the unfortunates, a place where people can live with out fear of coup de tats and dictators which are typical of communism and at the same time the sluggishness of a common democratic country would be dealt with communism. A government based on democratic communism one where we give priority to evolution not to revolution, a government which will not rule over people but will take care of its people. It’s not something we dream tonight and implement tomorrow, let us calculate the odds, then recalculate and again recalculate, leave some room to make changes.
P.S:
I will try to give my practically not possible solutions to bring about the necessary changes in my future posts. I’m not making any promises here.
