Mount communism? Now that's just getting a bit silly.

Yes. Can Mount Communism work? If not, is it because it is ill, or too old, or too young? If not, we must assume it is shirking. So the question is, do we support Mount Communism? Or do we decide Mount Communism is a parasitical landmass and launch a revolution against it?

Gotta love WolframAlpha for being epically stupid sometimes.

Pik Imeni Ismail Samani used to be called Communism Peak, which is why WA mentioend mountains.

I think we all knew (or guessed) that :D

It was still trying to decode the question 'Can Communism (Peak) work?' which we translated somewhat facetiously as 'Can Mount Communism work?'

WolframAlpha is only good for factual questions. Prior to recent updates, it would return an error as to your question stating that it can't answer such questions. Now it looks for the nearest terms automatically. So it just interpreted your question as meaning a mountain. If you click "use as a word," it returns some basic facts about communism.

We all already knew where you live, Tyrlop.
