Recently, I formally joined the Communist Party. I have lost long time friends, certain family has disowned me, even my fiancé has left me because of it. Are there any other members of this forum out there that have joined the Communist Party whom have lost their friends and family? I am interested to see how people react to such a thing. In the West, people have learnt to hate communism and instantly abandon anybody with communist leanings. I will admit, I could be wrong for my beliefs, but has anybody else out there been ostracized for believing that communism is the answer?
MVH,
Josef

Communism is a political system that is used by corrupt individuals in order to have tighter control over everything.
In the anarchist, Marxist and socialist sense, free association (also called free association of producers or, as Marx often called it, community of freely associated individuals) is a kind of relation between individuals where there is no state, social class or authority, in a society that has abolished the private property of means of production. Once private property is abolished, individuals are no longer deprived of access to means of production so they can freely associate themselves (without social constraint) to produce and reproduce their own conditions of existence and fulfill their needs and desires.

Lol the O.P isn't even American.
Why are you so mad though? America is supposed to be a symbol of freedom, and that extends to Social freedoms and the freedom to believe and follow any political system that you like.

The basic idea behind communism which is, everyone is equal no matter what race, gender, or what job you have, is good. However most people on this site look at the now defunct USSR when they hear the term "Communism". There's a lot of misinformation about left wing politics, thanks to the neo-cons relying on fear mongering and smear campaigns to turn people against political systems that would benefit the general population instead of Corporations.
You see examples of that every day on this site, neo-cons complain about welfare and their taxes going towards feeding hungry Americans, but yet the majority of them support corporate tax cuts.edit on 6/12/2012 by muse7 because: (no reason given)

Karl Marx believed that the State would wither away, but we have yet to see where that has happened. Both Marx and Lenin stated that a ruling elite would have to run things meantime.
