Real pure communism was the ideal of Gandhi, Jesus Christ, Buddha, etc.
They all had a vision of a collective group of people caring for one and other, shunning the concept of wealth and material possessions as a means to happiness in this world and the next.
If the modern day western religions of Judaism and Christianity would follow their own edicts to care for the poor and sickly, there would be no need for any type of Communist Manifesto...
It is a truism, that in a capitalistic society, at least in practice in our society, where businesses are capable of influencing government to their own advantage, that the corporations end up treating people as a commodity, a labor commodity. This dehumanizing process was condemned by Jesus, Ghandi, etc.
Without a socialist style movement in this country, we would still see child labor, people living in complete squalor in their retirement years, innadequate health care, etc.
It is simply amazing how twisted the modern day kapitalist Kristians are, as they don't care about the effect of their business enterprises on children, the poor, the sickly, etc.
Jesus went out of his way to help these type of people, and the American Korporate way is to go out of their way to ignore these people when any possible profit can be garnered...
So, communism in its pure form (which we have not seen except in very rare cases) became just another Godless movement in which the leaders abused power over the masses.
Oh yes, I include the Kristian Korporate Masters as Godless as well...
Oh, and when Marx and Engles suggested that religion is the opiate of the masses, today's religion is the worship of the Almighty Dollar...
The fact of this dominant religion of Kapitalism has been seen in the explosion of credit, keeping up with the Jones's, and living beyond one's means...despite warnings from the Masters of their religion...
Very, very few people understand the truth of class struggle that Marx and Engles saw as the root of most of the problems of society...
Quote from FightTheFuture:
Perhaps the socialists, the so called left, most media, celebrities, etc., believe that communism is the pure ideal of the socialist left, even though it has involved huge mass genocide and has resulted in complete failure.
The communist-socialist party seems to distribute power throughout a larger party of thugs, where anyone could possibly be a member like media people, celebrities, and other thugs. It's more of a group effort. Whereas with the Nazi dictator types, power is more consolidated and concentrated towards the upper thugs with much less power sharing.
History rewriters, socialists, celebs, etc., believe the likes of Nazi dictators are right leaning and therefore bad and must be criticized as there is less power to be distributed amongst other thugs such as themselves.
