How to Convince my Friends that Communism isn't evil?

[The Doctor, RIP Juggernaut]

Under Lenin's rule, Russia had a far better economy than America did. It had mass production and allowed a lot of jobs for the Russian people. Lenin was the only closest thing to communism, however it was still socialist.
Also please note that country being poor is irrelevant compared to purchasing power.

Why in your opinion did the Cold War end?

That wasn't Lenin's rule......
Every thing for Russia went down the shittier as soon as the space race began/Stalin came to power.

Communism does not suppress freedom of speech.

Freedom of speech gives people the illusion that there is democracy, even though censorship is becoming more common in America, just an FYI.

I, too, think Communism would be better for the world. Not the current impression of tyrannous rulers, but instead, more of how Marx envisioned it: a utopia, where there isn't a need for money.  Don't try and force your ideas on them, just explain  and maybe you'll win the argument. Just don't fuck yourself over while doing it.

I doubt Marx would envision a Utopia, if so, that'd be a major flaw in his writing, simply because there is never a "Utopia" because there is no perfect society.

True, should have thought about that before replying.
