Is Philippines better off as a Communist country?!

Guys, I want to hear your opinion... With a lot of Bull Sh*t going on with our government... Exercising too many freedoms... whatsoever... Democracy?! Does the sound of that very word still showers pride to our soul... Hhhmmm..

"The Philippines is a democratic and a republican state, sovereignty resides with the people, and all government authority emanates from them"...

The first section of the Bill of Rights-- WoW... well written. but does it mean anything?!

if i could post a caricature of myself with my mouth zipped here, then i would. Honestly, i have all the comments a common citizen can give, its just that they are too overwhelming that i cant put them into words.

maybe ill start with agreeing with your statement and asking the same things u are asking.

but to the communist-ish government suggestion part, not just yet. Let's just say it's not yet the right time for an evaluation.

nahh.. i don't think so.. well when worst comes worst then that might be an option..

seriously though, i guess it's appropriate to let us first define communism:

COMMUNISM - is a system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people."

with that said, one most important factor before we make that transition is to probably see for ourselves if this is gonna make any good for the country or not..

Why make it such a mentality and mold Philippines to what other or all countries who was under communism ? Look at those countries who are under communism , where did communism bring them ?

You have a point there springfield, hhmmmm, let's try to look at the countries who are under communism: China, Cuba, Laos, North Korea, Vietnam...Could we say We are far better from these countries?!

But of course, it is very impossible that Philippines would adopt something like communism... Just a thought.

I am not saying who is BETTER or who is WORST , I am saying look at them now and tell me where did COMMUNISM bring them . It doesnt mean there is better ECONOMY the people are not SUFFERING either .

a humble thought.

Modern COmmunism has never been attained by any state in our History.
Russia was never a Communist though they have been branded one, they were actually a Socialist State, a precursor to communism but they were not communist.
China also considered as "Communist" were not really communist, because to be a communist country one must have been a capitalist country, china was not even before their civil war.

I'd like to repeat, no state has ever made its way to Modern Communism as pointed out by Marx.

If the Philippines becomes a true Communist country, not the brand of communism we hear so often in TV about the different Rebel Groups out to take Manila , but the communism that is original to its creator, the Communism of Marx.

im not saying im a communist, im just saying that the unstained communism of Marx was his reaction to Social injustice in a Capitalist system. He only wanted to correct the tremendous exploitation in the present system. So kung ma communist ang philippines, a true communist country, it would be a milestone in history, but like any pioneer of great ideas, our country must first be able to stand out against the International Community, and the dynamic market to succeed because if we cant then it would surely kill us all.
