Comrades,
eIrishmen and eIrishwomen
This is not a confession. Some of you might have realised it already, but before I tell you all, this is not a confession.
I am a communist....pure communist. I am entitled beliefs, as much as you are.
People think, because of US,English propaganda that this is what communism is:
1. Totalitarian ideology
2. Athiests (don't believe in god)
3. A failing system that never works.
That is what the US and English say because tey do not want to let communism in the world because it might affect their wages and ministerial cars.
This is really what communism is.....even the "Collins Dictionary" says:
"advocacy of a classless society in which private ownership has been abolished and the means of production and subsistence belong to the community"
Not all communists are atheists!. Not all communists support dictatorship! It is a lie made up to stop people voting communist!
It is the ideology that stands for the worker (as you can see above). This is what communism really is.
Mandela
Marx.
So, it isn't a confession; I'm communist and proud.
Don't fall so easily for capitalist propaganda. Just because one so called communist (Joseph Stalin) was bad it doesn't mean they all are. I despise Stalin. If there is a group of 10, 1 is not nice. Does that make them all not nice?
And remember:

Don't get it
the communist countries is blacked out because they dont have power at night or are not allowed to put on lights after a certain hour
Lies! Propaganda!
Lies! Propaganda! Facts! But honestly - have you ever been to socialist country? Or lived in post-communist country? For some time I was a commie myself. Then I started learning history. No hate, mate, but don't express your political beliefs here 🙂 Greetings from Poland 🙂
And by here, I mean country 🙂
If you were a commie you'd understand that you cannot go against the historical theory and try to set up a socialist state without first transforming and raising the consciousness of the people who make up the State. 😛
It will come inevitable and it was foolish to believe one could create communism overstepping both capitalism and socialism.
You forgot the part about overthrowing the government and implementing the dictatorship of the proleteriat, which is a necessary phase in becoming a communist society. Which is another problem with communism, because that phase aswell has too much potential to be exploited by individuals or a group of individuals
The two main communist countries (Cuba and PR of China) both have elections EVERY YEAR
First, understand historical materialism then reread your comment and you should be able to figure out what is wrong about your assumption.
Don't you worry about my understanding of historical materialism Mike. I'm not studying political science for nothing. And I still don't see you refuting what I said. Communism is a perfect ideology IN THEORY, but there's no way of achieving that theory in real life because of human nature. And that's the irony of it, the ideology that fights against exploatation has to much of a potential to be exploited by individuals who seek to gain power for themselves
VvvvV
I thought part of communism was being against organised religion as it was viewed that the churchs exploited the working class.....which by and large would mean atheism.
A lot of communists/socialists are athiests. But that does not Mean that capitalists can't be atheist too. Religioun is irreverent in this
Communists were not Anti Church per say. Marx was against the current church as he saw it as a tool of oppression against the people. He envisioned a future where the people would choose their church "leaders" just like with everything else. Not anti religion but anti current religion. Or that is how I read it.
Not an endorsement of Communism. But just a view of how I interpret what I read when I read the manifesto. I read lots of stuff.
Great article 🙂
Communism is a dried piece of turd.

I've nothing against voluntary collectivism. But communism at the government level relies upon forced collectivism.
-In a perfect capitalist world, ppl can enter voluntary collectivism as they wish.
-In a perfect communist world, the capitalists are robbed and imprisoned.
So I'm with the capitalists cuz they are a hell of a lot more tolerant than you guys.
You understand that capitalism is just the gathering of resources into the hands of fewer and fewer people until in the end only 1 person/organisation has control of everything. That doesn't seem particularly tolerant to me.
As more and more people in the world have less and less, then more and more people will begin to see just how intolerant capitalism is.
Haha you don't get what Communism is do you?
I think perhaps you don't, but I am happy to discuss it in greater detail if you want. Feel free to PM me.
Never doubted you James.
.......
Comunism won democratically, no historically necessary revolution from the proletariat or anything, in Chile when Allende became president.Yet... guess what country shoved in all resources they could to break up that and kill a democratically chosen government? Yeah... Mr Kennedy's.
Lets see a bit... what type of communism to you find most complete or workable in the 21st century?
Or, easier... in the 20th century?
Regards
And yet the implementation of Marxism in the 20th century ended in either a totalitarian state or a destroyed economy.
What rational person would consider these ideas useful?
Communism is a great ideology. In theory. That's what makes it an utopian ideology, because even though communism advocates equality and a classless society, there will always be people who will want to have more power than others (Stalin,Mao etc.) and that's the main communist problem. Human nature
Nothing lasts forever........
