Society needs competition to thrive, because without it there would be no incentive to make forward progress. Communism takes away that aspect of competing for wealth, property, things of personal significance.
@9CJ6CB61yr1Y
One’s personal wants are the main focus instead. When your needs are met, you can worry about your wants, your life, and the prosperity of those you care for, instead of trying to make ends meet. If we shared our ideas, knowledge, and resources, we’d supercharge innovation as long as any positive incentive exists. The profit would simply be less.
@9H88C782yrs2Y
No because we need competition to push us to grow and learn.

I believe that capitalism should be allowed to an extent because people should all be appointed the same opprotunities for education and to get a job, but no one should get more opprotunities than others. And taxes should still allow for a living wage wherever one is and whatever job one has. Progress is when a society is better at being successful personally while aiding those who are less fortunate.

if done right it is the best method but it will never be done right
@9H897GV2yrs2Y
Given that everyone contributes and receives what they are worth, there is no sense of "competition" because there is no incentive for improvement.

No, communism has never worked when tried, and the ideology does not take human nature into account. Also, it is bad economically because not only does distributing wealth lower the value of (insert currency), but usually what ends up happening is that the government ends up taking most of the money for themselves and giving the people the scraps. Also, economic growth cannot happen when there is no competition. If everyone is given the same, what will give them an incentive to work harder and achieve more? Competition breeds growth and innovation. On top of that, communist nations usua… Read more

People have freedom of choice no matter religion or gender.
A unified approach to discovery for the benefit of all instead of a competitive approach to individual enrichment.
@9T6H87K10mos10MO
Communist and Facism are exactly the same. Both far-left and far-right parties should be banned.
@9SNV4S8Republican10mos10MO
No, a society without competition can not progress. It does not produce innovation and without innovation it becomes stagnate. Not to mention if there is no competition whatever is on the market has no incentive to be of good value. Look to the Soviet Union for multiple examples of this in play.

Can it exist? Yes. Will it exist? No. People are to prone to corruption for that, but if I'd have to imagine one, I'd say the United Federation of Planets from Star Trek, or think, your average Minecraft multiplayer with friends, where everyone knows everyone and corruption is harder since you're not as disconnected from your fellows peers like in actual soceity.

Progress would look like innovation for the common good rather than for selfish gain. This would allow, for example, the development of clean energy sources without large oil companies breathing down their necks and just waiting for the chance to undercut them to save their profits. It is not as though competition is the only driver of human accomplishment.
@9RM79DJIndependent11mos11MO
I fully believe society would and could improve without competition and would actually thrive with some free time to pursue ideas.
@9H885VP2yrs2Y
No a society cannot progress without competition because the economy wont change if everything is the same
