"How about the Anti-Communist's be quite to allow the Communists answer first. Considering that's the opinion rmsharpe asked for."
Gee, no sense of humor--typical lefty....

Anyway....
"Now Question 1:
The incentive of the worker is to look into the long run. The harder they work, the better the country does, the better the country does the better everyone does."
However we know that things don't work that way. You may have the rare "long-term" looker who busts his ass, but you have many more people who just do the minimum required of their job. Since they are doing the minimum required, they can't get "fired" (or moved), because they did nothing wrong. And yet they benefit along with the people that made things happen....
Have you ever worked at a government job, Corn? There is always internal pressure by your co-workers not to work TOO hard, so that your example doesn't become the new norm (it rarely ever would, though)--thus everyone is purposely slow. This even happens in the military (where I served).
Face it, personal gain IS more of an incentive. The only way it won't be is if you send people to "re-education" camps, I guess.... Human nature is what it is--deal with it.
"If someone slacks on the job, they get moved to a job that more suits them. After a few weeks on **** shoveling, they will want to work a little harder."
First, you can't move everyone to sh*t shoveling--so if just about everyone slacks, what will you do? Answer: you will accept that everyone slacks, and your economy will not progress.
Second, I would have a severe problem (like, a take-up-arms-and-revolt kind of problem) with a government telling me in what capacity I may work. What if I want to be a journalist, and am damned good at gathering facts and writing, and yet I have a tendency to investigate things that run contrary to the government-run (or, in the words of communists, "peoples'-run") newspaper. The government, which conveniently has the power to choose my job, will do guess what?
Besides, people should have the freedom to pursue their personal dreams and goals, wouldn't you agree? What are we, if we can't dream, and pursue those dreams?
"Question 2:
A communist democracy would work like this. Leaders would be elected by the people, and would make decisions that the people vote on. (It's impossible to have a true democracy (in this day and age), thus it would be a Republic much like the US government.) The government would be working for the people....just like in the US, the same way it's run now. Except the people would vote on more economic decisions."
And what happens if they vote to scrap the established communistic system? Will it then go away? Will the people that hold the extraordinary concentrations of power this affords, give up their power so easily? Don't count on it.
Also, in democracy, one needs to be careful that it does not turn into a "tyranny of the majority", where people can vote to take things from others, or take rights from others, or kill others. Remember Nazi Germany.
Democracy is best when government power is limited. There are certain things that people should decide for themselves. How is it better for a dissenter to be tyranized by one person, or by the majority of people? Is he supposed to feel better or more "free" in the latter case? Isn't he still being tyranized?
"Question 3:
"Why would the government lie to the people?"
ROTFLMAO!!!
Where have YOU been throughout history? Yeah, why DOES government often lie to people? That's what I want to know....
You think we're THAT naive? Well, I've got some Agent Orange to sell you, too. Also some Zyklon B (remember, breathe DEEPLY....)
"The people must would have to trust the government they elected."
Just because I vote for someone doesn't mean I trust them completely (perhaps just a little more than I trust the other candidate). I must still be vigilant, and not take everything he says as gospel truth. The price of freedom IS eternal vigilance....
"If the people choose to create a civilian investigation agency to check up on the government (it's a democracy so the people can propose these things), and it passes a vote, then the people have extra piece of mind."
If 49% want to, but 51% don't want to, then I suppose independently investigating the government would be illegal then?
Besides, that civilian investigation agency would, in a communist system, still be owned by the state, since private ownership is forbidden. And even if it weren't, its freedom to investigate would still be limited.
I'd prefer keeping government limited and on a short leash to begin with--less to investigate.
"Question 4:
The government officals are normal people elected by the people, although they have a more important job, every job it's a crutial part of the countries welfare. A person in high position would have to be kept in check by the people. It's the person that becomes corrupted by power. In a democracy the people ARE the power, therefore by definition it should be nearly impossible to corrupt a major government offical."
All fine and good in theory, but it still happens in democracies, doesn't it? And the more power you add to the equation, the more likely it is to happen.
"Question 5:
Unfortunatally corruption is a part of life. The only way to combat corruption is with better survilance and personal tracking. This is something I know a lot of people are against. They argue that they lose their freedom, and that a police state will ensue. I'm not against heavy tracking and survilance. It is necessary in order for people to feel safe and follow the rules."
Big Brother. Just TRY and put a computer chip in me, and I will take down as many people as I can who attempt to violate my person like that, before I am killed. And don't even think I'm alone....
Sorry, you've f*cked up your sale right there....
Do you really not care about your personal privacy?
"However, excessive force is not necessary, as are "purges", these Soviet style control techniques are unnecessary."
I would consider implanting tracking devices in me to be "excessive force"--particularly if I didn't want one in me. Keep your laws off my body....
"Hopefully that will help you better understand where I am coming from."
I do. VERY clearly....
Thanks for making it so clear to all of us.
