What a bunch of BS...
Real communism is the way things work.
No? You disagree? You think capitalism is good? You think dictatorship of the riches is good? Capitalism=dictatorship of the riches. The rich dictate the poor what to do, what to work, how long to work, enslave them to make their profits worthwhile. While they live in paradise. The banks live in paradise while we are the slaves for them. Want to enslave a whole planet? Introduce money (capitalism). Look at the world. We are enslaved.
In real communism there exists no money. If there is money, it's not real communism, because money destroys any type community (even in the family in your home if you lack money). If there is money it always divides people in rich and poor, no matter what. If you disagree you have not understood money. It always makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. Until you have an enslaved world. It's a process which will always happen. Now tell me again how evil communism is....

It's quite telling when someone without chains calls himself and others slaves. If your chains are imaginative, it comes as no surprise to find your enslavement is as well.

Well, it stands to reason that Christians are some of the people who have the most to lose from socialism and communism but they are by no means the only people. Communism would SUCK for a lot of people who aren't even religious. A lot of them just don't realize it because they believe it's all about peace and love and sharing and all that nonsense. The part that John Lenon left to the imagination was what happens to people who won't go along with it. So you would only imagine that part if you didn't like the sound of no possessions and all that good stuff.

How do I give someone a negative star?
It is quite telling if someone speaks about imagination, when the destruction of our society is visible in every corner of the world. It comes as no suprise if this person has rode his life on the upper side of the coin and dwells in a purple dreamworld.
Just because you can't see it, just because you can't touch it, just because you can't hear it, doesn't mean it isn't there.

I have never met one person that said communism is about peace, they have a horrible track record, my issue is the antichrist bit,god does not exist so the whole thread is funny at best.

I guess chains and slavery are metaphorical, or worse, a lie. Appealing to poverty is a sign of irrationality, not reason.

The chains are not made from iron, but psychic and existential pressure. This pressure is caused by money. Any money system causes a shift of wealth. Connect the dots.
