Cheese time:
Just wanted to say how dearly I love this boy.
He means the world to me..yes, he does.
Communism is a free-thinking, stateless, moneyless, religionless, classless society. It promotes equality for all, and no opression by any government. Basically John Lennon’s world from Imagine, where the world will live as one.
So why do we run around like chickens with our heads cut off yelling “COMMIES” and involving ourselves in wars against this non-existent society?
Before World War II, intellectuals thought communism and socialism was a good thing. But when the wealthy realized this meant an even distribution of goods, they weren’t happy. Capitalists wanted to keep their wealth and power.
Also, Joseph Stalin’s brutality in the USSR was a factor. Millions of people were killed in the Soviet Union to consolidate power. There is no 1 concluding policy that can be agreed on as to what Stalin truly was. Some people claim socialist, others claim dictator, state capitalist, or totalitarianism. Because of this wide “he was a socialist” view, people started associating “evil murderer” to “socialism” The U.S. politicians started using this “stop all communist rule, just look at what socialist/communist Stalin did” to solidify their backing while running for high positions. Capitalists twisted this into fear of “communism” to keep their foot on their money.
Those damn commies.
