Actually I'll be the first to admit that so called "communism" as you describe the Russians and stuff is far from the original idea of communism as I perceive it. And I'll admit to being a Bellamist. That is, I think the writing of Edward Bellamy would lead to a better society or even a Utopian society. And I'm well aware that some of the aspects are based on communism. They just don't deal with the guns or military aspects of communism that have dominated places like Russia, Cuba or China. Personally, I think they have butchered the idea of communism in the same way the Taliban has butchered the idea of Muslim religion; however, the president always points out that not all Muslims believe that way. Somehow people think all communists think the same way -the Russian way. I'd like to believe that the communes of the '60s were a more representative manner of communism.
For those of you that are very religious, I ask you what is more God-like? The idea of everyone helping one another and sharing resources together or capitalism where everyone is out for themselves? Communism was most likely here first before humans got greedy. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
