Posted by Matthew C. Bissonnette on 3/11/2004, 11:53 am, in reply to "Happy May Day!" A system of society in which property was owned by the community and all citizens shared in the enjoyment of the common wealth. Goods will become so abundant that they would be distributed on the basis of need rather then endeavor. A social revolution must be the work of all the people, it is the responsibility of revolutionaries to prepare them for what is to come. According to Marxism, the bourgeois contained within the seeds of its own destruction, the number of capitalists would decrease and the number of impoverished proletariat would grow until finally a breakdown would occur and a socialist revolution would start. Though people who call themselves communists have committed many horrible deeds, I still can respect some parts of the ideology. Here some of my own thoughts of communism. A communist state can allow for capitalism, but the state responsibility is to the people, alleviating the hardships of the impoverished instead of seeing to the needs of the rich elite who are a minority. The state is a servant to the people, not or master or king. If the state manipulates information to control the people and what they think, then the trust between the people and the state is broken. The state is only given limited power, they cannot pass or create new laws if it is against the collective will of the people, the people control their own destiny. The leader has a term in office only if the majority of the people have faith in him, if the social majority is displeased with a leader, it is in their power to call for an election at any time. Every citizen has a right to healthcare. The state will have an agency of accountants who will investigate foreign interests, if a foreign interest is shown to be detrimental to the interests of the people, then this foreign business will be banned from the country. Every citizen has a right to food everyday and shelter. I thinking maybe it is time we open our minds and try to imagine new ways of running things. They will tell you Utopia is a dream, maybe we cant make a Utopia but this is a lie, there are forces in this world that oppose change. But I think I knew way of life where there where no homeless, everybody having food is an idea worth considering. This is a democracy, the majority rules.
