Absolutely not, there shouldn't even be a debate over this question. Why? Now that's a funny question because it reminds me that I've heard a lot of people say things like, "Yeah, I think communism is a good form of government," or "I don't see anything wrong with communism." Comments like that just make me sick. It makes me sick that people can be so misinformed as to even begin to think that.

Your basically just a piece of government property.
Now, back to defining Communism. In 1848, a...
