The North Pacific

My opinion largely varies. Communism is very difficult to really present a opinion on for me, because it largely depends on what you mean.
If you mean by.. Say, Marxism as Marx originally stated, then my view is that I disagree with Communism, as I don't truly agree with the end goal or the progression of societies. I don't believe its as simple a Marx stated. That being said, he does provide fair critiques on Capitalism and too many people toss away his writings and theories because "Communism bad lol".

If you mean by Authoritarian Socialism, such as Maoism, Stalinism, and many more, my opinion varies far more. Stalinism is tricky to say, because while I completely do disagree with the actions of what Stalin did, the industrialization of Russia was handled very successfully, and opened the flood gates to advancing Russia and the other SSRs far more then before, especially compared to the... Unironically very cringe Russian Empire. (Yes, I hate monarchies and monarchists, that is a full genuine rant for some other time). That being said, the repression and other treatment of political opponents is overstated, and its a whole conversation to be had, but to cut it short, I don't entirely agree with it. Overall, its a mixed bag, in my honest opinion. The famines could've been far more properly handled as well.

Except for Nazis, that was very well deserved.

Maoism isn't entirely successful and I don't agree with it. I more so support Dengism then Maoism. China was far more handled properly under Deng then Mao, and honestly Mao should've retired earlier before becoming a radical leader like that.

If we're talking about the other sub ideologies, like Democratic Socialism, and Social Democracy and Anarchy, I'll give my two cents on all of those.

In my honest opinion, I am a SocDem, because I believe that Social Democracy is the best likelihood of succeeding compared to the rest, and its the more realistic option compared to the rest. Democratic socialism is good, and even George Orwell, the author of 1984 supported it. I don't mind supporters of Democratic Socialism to be quite honest.

Economically, I think it could've been handled far more better. The Soviet Union wasn't entirely socialist because of the NEP, and later attempts to privatize which were handled horribly, and resulted in a economic crisis. It could've genuinely worked far more better then before, the problem was that the Soviet Union had the wrong leadership and people who didn't know how to properly handle privatization. Socialism is somewhat possible economically, its just difficult, and probably won't happen any time in the future as people shift from Conservatism and Liberalism, and don't really show any care for the far reaching ideologies, except on the internet.

Anarchy is.... That's a full rant to be had later.

Needless to say, its not positive entirely. Its ideal, but I don't agree with it.

But that's my two cents on Communism and its sub ideologies, feel free to disagree with me, because I know alot of people will inevitably disagree with me.
