    disease? the real disease is putting the arbitrary assumptions of ANY idiology ahead of the kind of world we all have to live in. marxism is niether better nor worse then capitalism in any real sense, rather both are just another damd idiology, and in another 300 years, possibly less, no one (other then esoteric historians) will either know nor care, that either of them ever existed.

    neither marxism, nor the shortcommings of marxism, have anything at all what so ever, to do with the reality of the shortcommings of capitolism, nor with the reality of the total nonneed for it to exist.

    communism and communalism are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Communalism as it existed in czarist Russia was a formal of rural Chrisian anarchy and was competely decentralized. Marxist Communism is a centralized totalitarian system where an elite rules by proxy for the masses.

    I live in a former Communist country. I was 6 years old during the fall of Communism in Romania and I don't have much experience, but I've heard people's stories and read something about it in my history books.
    It had its good parts though. As my parents say, school (including university) used to be free and there was in a way more discipline.
    On the other hand, people were much poorer back then, acess to many cultural things was blocked etc.

    Communism is the ideology of the short-sighted.

    I was a Commie once, in my early teens, and most teenagers who care about politics but don't understand politics fully are also Commies.

    Communism is just a phase.
     
  7. You're still a teenager and reading your posts you don't seem to understand anything.

    Wow, I've sure learned my lesson, wow, an individual 3 years older than me has shown me the way, oh yes wise one.

    Shut the hell up Commie.
     
  9. I never said age had anything to do with it. You'll probably be stupider at 22.

    Could you please elaborate?

    I am a Commie now (more specifically I'm a trotskyist). I know alot about politics but don't particularly care about them. I just finished the second treatise of government and wrote an essay on it yesterday. Maybe I'll make a thread about how much better I like Locke now.

    Anyways, I don't think communism is just a "phase" in the same way being an emo is a phase. I've never met anyone who went through a communism "phase".

    I was a Commie up to when I was 15 I think. At that time I believed in equality, and, seeing as how all my family lived under Communism at one point or another, I decided to embrace the ideals of complete equality for the good of humanity.

    Then I smartened up and realized that Communism could never work because of humanity. Some people always want more, or are jelous of another, or greedy. Anyway, I came to Fascism, over the past few years I was leaning to that, but now I am, a Fascist, because Fascism provides the idealisms of diversity. The fact is, some people are worth more than others, some people are more important than others, some people deserve to die, war provides expansion of an ideology, death is inevitable, many people are expendable, etc.

    Some individuals realise the flaw of Communism, some just become Socialists, some idiots become Liberals, etc.

    You don't have to agree with me, it's just the way I see it.

    I'm sure many people think that. Not just Marx.
