Thats wrong on so many levels. Admit it OP this was a sick joke and your argument (or title of the thread) was meant to be stupid as fuck.

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

There is a reason Communism always starts with military coups.

Are you saying you belive communism is intrinsic to the military, so much so that it provides the impetus for a country to turn communist?

More or less. Sadly, it seems that Communism doesn't seem to work as well in practice outside of the military. So far at least.

You know I'm not a historian like you but I think you might be very bigly wrong about China .
Quote:
The history of the Chinese Communist Party began with its establishment in July 1921. A study group led by Peking University professors Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao to discuss Marxism, led to intellectuals officially founding the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in July 1921.

Yah yah. Okay you got me.
The military is still the most functional communist organization to exist so far though. All we need for Communism to function properly is to establish a military dictatorship, where the entire population is in the military.
Free food, free housing, free education, free healthcare, etc.

So then the people own the weapons and the means to make them?

If we're using the GOP definition of communism, then yes, the military is absolutely communist as fuck.

Both the left and the right would get what they want if only the military would take over and institute a draft and life-long military service for all.

I would be a lot more accurate to say that "rapid government reform of any sort always starts with military coups".
After all, the people with the guns tend to be able to place themselves in charge.

You gotta put a lot more than just religion aside for that to be true. Look at Myanmar. Yeah, the military took control, but they are struggling mightily without the support of the civilian population.
Office Space logic applies: being held at gunpoint is an incentive to do the bare minimum to not get shot. It isn't really an incentive to do 110%.

Absolutely. Once that tipping point is reached, dissent is either crushed by soldiers, confirmed by soldiers, or a civil war is waged between soldiers.
