Communism

             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.

You don't have any personal belongings. In fact, you don't own anything at all. Under a Communist form of government you don't have any rights at all. Your basically just a piece of government property.
