Communism, as an ideology, has been proven to be detrimental to societies due to its inherent flaws and destructive consequences. One of the main reasons why communism is considered bad is the lack of individual freedoms and property rights. In a communist system, the government controls all aspects of the economy and private property is abolished. This results in a lack of incentive for individuals to work hard and innovate, leading to inefficiency and economic stagnation.
Furthermore, communism has been associated with authoritarian regimes and the suppression of dissent. History has shown that communist governments often resort to brutal methods to maintain control and silence opposition. This has led to widespread human rights abuses, including censorship, political repression, and mass surveillance. The lack of freedom of expression and political rights under communist rule has resulted in widespread poverty, corruption, and social unrest.
Additionally, communism has failed to deliver on its promises of equality and social justice. Instead of creating a classless society, communist regimes have often resulted in a small ruling elite controlling all resources and wealth, while the rest of the population suffers from poverty and deprivation. The centralized planning of the economy in communist countries has also led to inefficiency and shortages of basic goods, further undermining the quality of life for the majority of citizens. In conclusion, the negative consequences of communism far outweigh any perceived benefits, making it a bad and unsustainable system for governance.

This post is a bit laughable, it's the typical response that people give to "communist le bad", but if you actually educated yourself higher than the bare minimum you would see that many of these bulletpoints are addressed. You saying there is "less freedom and property rights", for one, people having "less freedom" is debunked by China's existence, people there can say whatever they want absolutely without any consequence, on Chinese tik-tok you can find anything from nazi propaganda to people praising Mao and everything in-between. Second, the point of communism is to abolish private property, not personal property. You will be housed, but nobody is taking away your TV, your toy car or your food lol. Lenin wrote a work about how freedom of the press is bad for the country because dissidents could spout whatever nonsense they want and ruin state integrity. Nowadays, information will get anywhere to anyone no matter what because of the internet, this is why China has the most freedom of speech out of any country in the world, far surpassing the United States. Furthermore, are you saying authoriotarian regimes are exclusive to communism? What about the United States, UK, Japan etc? They're all/have been worldwide authoriotarian regimes that controlled economies, enslaved people, attacked innocents countries and caused insourmountable destruction to the places they invaded, especially the United States with Iraq, and the middle east as a whole. Same with Afghanistan, same with Libya, same with Yugoslavia, hell, even the Soviet elections were rigged in 1991 by the United States so that a "democratic government" was voted in. If you think a country like that would sit down and take it you'd be very wrong. Mass surveillence and the like are utilised by the United States ever since 9/11 as an excuse. Freedom of speech is not associated with poverty, corruption or social unrest, as people who rose up against the government weren't brutally murdered like the west would like you to think, when reform was enacted in 1923 for Dagestan they were allowed to have their own Islamic political system with Sharia in place which was approved of by all people in the country (99% Muslim). A small ruling elite is absolutely not true, people were made equal. Men and women worked in the same workplace without discrimination, Stalin died with a few thousand in his bank account, on account of that when he went outside to walk around Moscow, he wanted to give a woman some money, but since he had none on him he couldn't lol. The USSR was one of the biggest producers of bread and wheat worldwide, exports were through the roof and so was production of food in general after WW2, as the economy resurged, housing advanced, technologies were invested into etc. If communism results in not working hard, then how come the USSR was at the absolute forefront of technological innovation, from going to Venus, to automatisation (for less man working hours and higher pay), army innovation, general quality of life improvements amongst the entire consumer sector (I.E Farming combines, sewing machines, ovens etc. all of these things would've been most likely impossible for most families to attain were it not for the USSR providing free housing for their citizens at their peak). Whatever critique of communism you've had there will always be people that will disprove your lies. Look up statistics, you will see socialist countries on average will always have better quality of life and higher living standard than any capitalist country that was in it's "peak", it's literally fact that socialism improves life. It's capitalism that ruins this fine balance. Next time try to read a book or two, even watch a video so you don't end up looking like a dork on the forum.

Communism is garbage.
Here are my reasons.
What regimes have caused the upmost death in history? Anything labeled underneath Communism or Socialism (Same thing) and if people disagree, Lenin himself said the overall goal for Socialism is Communism. Stalin killed millions, Pot killed millions, Mao killed millions. These people died from starvation, cutting off resources, and even more dumb reasons. Genocide, imprisonment, anyone who sympathizes with Communism does not know history at all.
Mao Zedong killed millions by the "Great" Leap Forward. Idiot didn't know that killing sparrows would kill your crops. The fact that people still have admiration is blindness at it's truest form.
Also current day North Korea is Stalinist, I would say. It is a mix of Communism and other ideology, but their people starving, completely shut off from the ENTIRE WORLD and they have modern day gulags.
LOLLLLL You get your false "sources" from the black book of communism. which is already a debunked and laughable book! LMAO cant even talk to anticommunists without them using these stupid statements

I didn't even read any book, I compiled the information from learning about the regimes themselves.

I'm not trying to be mean. but thats why you get more misinformation about communism.
Something necessary for communism is an educated mass. This is why communist countries spend so much resources on education.
Point being the info you got about the ussr or whatever is being hand fed to you by people being paid ands controlled by the beneficiaries of capitalism. e.i. "thinktanks", capitalist organizations, "journalists" "intellectuals",
These grifters are everywhere and they wait for impressionable people to spread misinformation to. this is just how the world works, unless you wanna change it then I'd be happy to give you recommendations for alternative info you probably haven't heard of
