Why were your parents commies anyway? Don't they know how f*cked up all that dictatorial sh*t is?
Erm, yes and thats why they were communists.
I cant be arsed with it personally and will refuse to get involved in the discussions round the table. I have always believed that one cannot dictate communism. Its a contradiction.
Those who have employed the principles have attempted to do so in a dictatorial manner. The fault lies with mistaken humans and not with communist theory which aims for zero dictators.
You cannot suddenly tell a nation of people to put down their amenities and take to the field with no agricultural skill. Nor can you sudenly inform your people that they must adopt a whole new set of social rules and etiquete.
If you do, then you get drout, famine, starvation, rebelions and a very bad reputation across the world.
These are a few of my complaints but I do not confuse them with the written theory of communist formulae.
The way we used to live was a form of primative communism.
In fact theirs was more accurate and advanced as far as successfull communist survival is concerned.
Mao and stalin are an embaressment to the ideals of true textbook communism.
Socialist Scotland is far more in tune with social advantage and positive steps towards a decent future for the masses. It has been developing slowly and steadily to the point where people actually entertain socialist view without really knowing it.
It is perhaps because of the level of poverty and sympathy for our common man in Scotland.
Socialist russia and china were up there own arse.
All the good things that we strive for in our future are covered within communist ideology. Housing for the poor, Health services, emergency services, agriculture, hygien, environmental care, loss of racism, sexism, and other descriminatory isms, social inclusion, racial integration, love, communality, etc, etc....
Blah, blah....hoots toots!
P.S I am not a socialist like my parents but I do appreciate the true sentiments of the idea. I dont perticulary enjoy spouting this stuff but I feel it to be true and realistic.
