Yes, communism is quite evil. It's loosely based on armed robbery and is an entirely indefensible philosophy. It also inevitably leads to a police state because it tries to make war on mutually beneficial activities (i.e. trade and employment). We see the costs involved in prosecuting things like drug use, where no one is there to report a crime. How does one prosecute voluntary trade (people who are good at trade inevitably make more money than others--leading to inequality--but both people are still better off, so obviously no one will report the crime)?
The most socialistic philosophy that can be logically defended in Rawlsianism, which says that an economic system should be set up such that the poorest person is best off (this is a halfway philosophy between capitalism and communism because, under communism, the incentive for work is so low that even though everyone gets an equal share of the economic pie, the pie itself is so small that the poor could actually be worse off with a bigger piece of a smaller pie). |
