Influence your thoughts and feelings

Marx and Engels - evil. Read their works... in detail. Plato - Greece - Democracy. Other three? Don't care. Their works did not lead to a regime that covered 1/2 of the civilized world, and are therefore irrelevant, at least when it comes to discussions of realities of communism.

As far as motivations behind communism? Maybe they're not all evil, but they are all naive.

Wow. I really am sorry that I let go of that balloon. As to your previous question Ashock, I was half joking. What I was really trying to say is that if SPACE felt my pointing-out that access to medication carries with it a series of inequality issues was an argument that a communist would make, then perhaps his version of communism contains some valid perspective. The other side of my statement was intended to contribute to the growth of SPACE's topic into such a Trollfest™ that it rivals a thread about the outright evils of "mom, apple pie, and the American Way." Most anything I type that is followed by the whistler is intended for humor, or at least half humor.

I'll be perfectly honest, I don't know much about communism, or the differences between its original theoretical suggestion and the way it was implemented in Europe and Asia. I will certainly defer to those who are more knowledgable. If we want to have a discussion about communism, I'd be happy to sit on the sidelines and hear what people have to say. Who am I to get in the way of the will of the people. :rolleyes: ... <_< ... :whistling: (running away)
