Communitism: Contrast with existing Social Systems


As most of us know, now so called Liberal Democracy and free market (Capitalism) turn out to the most successful form of governance in modern history. After collapse of Soviet Union and China changing its governance from Communism to a country with state controlled capitalism. Only country remaining is North Korea with blind eye.

When it comes to social experiments no one could beat the biggest experiment on human civilization done by Lenin in early 1900. Communism based on ideology of German Scholar Karl Marks, that turn out to be impossible in practice. A society where proletariat will rule and share all resources of a nation and imagining a world where there will be no economical class. To contrast to the theory, all practical interpretation of his ideology transport to a totalitarian rules by Communist party  which deemed to destroy existing social class and create new society where either you are member of the party or a traitor. Having any other ideology can't not be tolerated to add to more fun, the society which does not recognize religion, promote adulation of their party leaders.

Where the modern form of Democracy has been redefined by the formation of a country of United States of America. Foundation of this country laid founding stone of modern democracy as we know today.

As usual everything is far from being perfect. Liberal Democracy and Free market appear to be less democratic and more private. All my life I was told that Communism and Capitalism are just opposite to each other, however, after a lot of research I have convinced that they intend to achieve the same goal in a slightly different manner and the goal is total control the population. The commonality is very simple straight forward i.e. Propaganda, Propaganda and Propaganda. However, the degree of propaganda varies from system to system.

Before starting more Communitism, I would more focus on similarity of Communism and Capitalism rather than difference  because differences are so prominent than similarities that they had often been neglected.

Often both system project to have a bottom to to approach where will of lowest powerful person will be heard and applied for betterment of the whole society, however, that is not true indeed. Like Communism, the Libral democracy the decision making body is often far from the reality. They mostly rely on the macro economical data and at the top, profit is the deciding factor. lest stop bashing both systems and lets analyze and discuss the future that only way for survival.


I am not saying that I am pioneer of this particular system, in fact this has been practiced for thousands of years of human civilization. In fact if you polarize this system in some of other way you will find all modern social and political system.

What is Communitism:

Now am I about to make a very crude definition of it

Communitism is nothing but community doing sense-full business where community power and sense-full business are in a stable equilibrium. If you vest too much power to the community it become communism and if you give too much control over business it gets capitalism by large both of these systems are in unstable equilibrium.

Communitism is not an utopia system where everything is Ideal, neither it is a barter based system. The basic idea behind communitism is distributing political and economical power all across. Communitism works very much like cloud computing where not only storage or memory is distributed the processing power is also distributed.

In fact, Democracy and Communism tried to achieve the same goal, however, they ended in creating more an more centralized system than before. You may say that local legislative, municipal authorities one of the several ways to distribute power among lower bottom of the pyramid, sadly enough they have rather helped the central authoritative government to have more control and better policing.

There is nothing called ideal. As a human we are selfish. We can't live in a communist system where work and save only for future without living the present. The Free-Market and Liberal Democracy (FMLD) looks to be winner in the first race with catastrophic collapse of Soviet Union. Well now even FMLD sometimes ask for self scarifies and hard work, thanks for all bad and clumsy decision made at the top.


However, now peculiar new system is again challenging western style FMLD in this current race that is unique Chinese system a Communist controlled Capitalism that has propelled China to be the next Super power with enormous with powerful and wealthy government, not sure about the common man. This would side much different from American version of powerful country that gave most people kind of life that is luxury for most people in China/India. Well now I don't want to drag India in this super power discussion as we are too far away from even such discussion. 

So crux is, humans don't like self scarifies that lies only in our imagination that's why we only find self sacrificing gods in all mythological stories and books only.
