"The Masses versus the Classes"...
Okay, once again, it is left to me to explain what Communism is, since none of you (except Morgan and Tom) seem to have the slightest clue...
Well, let's start with what Communism is not, shall we?
Communism is NOT treating the Working Classes as Slaves. That is called Capitalism.
Communism is NOT total government control over everything. That is called Totalitarianism.
Communism is NOT giving everything to the leader. That is called Stalinism.
Communism is NOT paying the same amount of money for every job. There is no name for this, because it's just stupid.
What Communism is is the only fair Economic System possible. Communism has many levels of intensity, but at its ideal level, Communism treats everyone as equals. Under Communism, everyone is born equal. Whereas Capitalism is set up to make the Rich Richer and the Poor Poorer, Communism is set up so that people get exactly what they deserve. There is no Inherited Wealth, so you have to earn money if you want it. There is no Interest, as that just serves to take money away from the Poor and give it to the Rich. There is no Class System, as they simply serve to divide people into Rich and Poor the moment they are born. The Government controls prices, so that Businessmen are unable to charge extortionate prices for goods as soon as they are scarce.
The USSR was NOT Communist. True Communism cannot exist without Democracy, just as True Democracy cannot exist without Communism. The two are two sides of the same coin, that coin being Equality.
I support the Millions, not the Millionaires.
