Why Does Atheism and Left-Wing Politics Usually Go Together?

[Tiberius]

Show me that communism doesn't punish success and reward laziness.

I can't?.......... communism was never reached

That's irrelevant. I'm not asking you to show me an example of a communist state. I'm asking you to show me (i.e present an argument) that communism doesn't punish success and reward laziness. In my view, communism does this. In a capitalist society, a persons idea can reward them with money if they work hard to turn it into a viable product. In communism, private enterprise is illegal, meaning any good ideas a person has effectively belongs to the state. They have no benefits that the rest of the workforce have. Laziness is rewarded because the system can't bear to see anyone destitute, so the lazy get paid for sitting on their ass.

communism has never resulted in anything?.............. because it was never reached

This is a typical argument of communists. It's quite simply an avoidance of the truth...that wherever communism has been attempted, it has failed.

I can't?............. because no government has ever had TOTAL control over it's economy

Ever heard of a place called North Korea?
