Re: A Tribute to Communism
My definition of communism is the definition that Karl Marx put forth. communism is the classless, stateless, and moneyless society by which private property is abolished. What's your definition?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17837699


Communism: The faux philosophy which denies the truisms of private property, individual motivation, and individual sovereignty in favor of the falsehoods of collectivism, egalitarianism, and statism.

Communism achieves power in a traditional bait-and-switch fraudulent sales scheme where it presents itself as an unrealizable ideal of common, distributed authority, but supplies instead an all-powerful oligarchy in charge of all production and consumption, where patrons and supporters of the oligarchy share in the limited stolen wealth of the enslaved state until economic thermodynamics dictate the collapse of the unsupportable facade of the Communist state.

During the time between the sales pitch and the collapse, Communism blames its failures on internal disloyalty, and universally executes a pseudo-random sub-set of its population, chosen by emotional lottery held the "salesmen" and determined by whoever they felt personally slighted by in their youth. This serves to both install terror in the remaining members of the populace, and to reduce the manpower available to resist the obvious fraud of the bait-and-switch sales effort and the fraudsters who perpetrated it.

A somewhat longer definition than you deserve, but for the sake of readers, supplied.

I was stationed on the border and my comrades and I had an agreement that if on patrol a person wad attempting to escape communism we would assist them by any and all means even if it meant violating our orders.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1582303


How many people did you help escape?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17837699


Unfortunately none. The escapee would have to get thru the primary fence, then cross a minefield of about 1K distance, then cross a patrol road visible to guard towers and then climb a fence to our side. The plan was that if somebody made it that far and the GAKs were after them we'd open up with the M-60 and whatever else we had.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1582303


So...nobody ever managed to escape?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17837699



There was a cross erected on our side for a man and his son who didn't make it. It was next to impossible what with modern technology and all. I went across and saw it all, met people and all that. It was like something out of a post-apocalyptic horror show. I'll never forget.

Re: A Tribute to Communism
I guess you all like to be slaves to privately owned rich corporations, and be whipped and bossed around by corporate ass kissing managers, bosses, and supervisors.

None of you even know what communism is about. All you people know is what CNN has lied to you about, and the previous propaganda banker owned media of the old days that helped invade, and kill innocent civilian lives through out the world by NATO Nazi's.

You people will always be slaves unless you take your heads out of your asses and give the land and all countries back to the people. It shows with great stupidity how you morons think Obama is a Communist. He is not a Communist. He is not even remotely close. He is a stupid democrat which is no different from a retarded republican slave. You people think the demoCRAPS are 'Left, and the republiTARDS are 'right'. Thats only because you dumbasses are completely oblivious to the fact that you are only given a choice every four years to elect one shithead from the two exact same parties. Election after election. Meanwhile they are owned by the rich bankers. The demoCRAPS do the EXACT same things politically as the republiTARDS when it comes to acts towards a communistic nation. They both demonize it because the bankers want it. You people need to educate yourselves before its too late and you end up dying for the bankers in another bullshit war, (possibly a third world war) only to progress the riches agenda.

 Quoting: Carshy McCarsh


Communists do abolish private property absolutely yes, but they don't abolish personal property. Here's the difference between private property and personal property. Personal property is your wife, your kids, your house, your car, your clothes, your things. Private property is the mode of production. Modes of production are land, labor, capital, and enterpreuership. Land can be both personal and private property, but land ownership that communists want to abolish are typically the land used for production, such as land that is used for drilling, mining, farming etc. Once private property is abolished it becomes socially owned.

This does not abolish individual motivation because communists still rewards you with personal property items such as homes, cars, clothes etc..

oligarchy: A small group of people who control a country, organization, or institution. Hey that sounds like capitalism!

"During the time between the sales pitch and the collapse, Communism blames its failures on internal disloyalty."

I'm glad you brought up that point. Communists experience counter-revolutionaries, those are the people who indeed are executed in their terror regimes. Your assumption that communists kill INNOCENTS is flawed.

Here's another tidbit for the general public, capitalists DO get involved in communists revolutions and kill the communists as well. Neither side is innocent of killing. neither side is killing innocents, but communists revolutionaries ARE wars, and indeed war causes food disruptions and killings, but that isn't the goal of communism as a system, that is the side effect of the fact that they are in WAR.

Communism achieves power in a traditional bait-and-switch fraudulent sales scheme where it presents itself as an unrealizable ideal of common, distributed authority, but supplies instead an all-powerful oligarchy in charge of all production and consumption, where patrons and supporters of the oligarchy share in the limited stolen wealth of the enslaved state until economic thermodynamics dictate the collapse of the unsupportable facade of the Communist state.

During the time between the sales pitch and the collapse, Communism blames its failures on internal disloyalty, and universally executes a pseudo-random sub-set of its population, chosen by emotional lottery held the "salesmen" and determined by whoever they felt personally slighted by in their youth. This serves to both install terror in the remaining members of the populace, and to reduce the manpower available to resist the obvious fraud of the bait-and-switch sales effort and the fraudsters who perpetrated it.

A somewhat longer definition than you deserve, but for the sake of readers, supplied.

Communists do abolish private property absolutely yes, but they don't abolish personal property. Here's the difference between private property and personal property. Personal property is your wife, your kids, your house, your car, your clothes, your things. Private property is the mode of production. Modes of production are land, labor, capital, and enterpreuership. Land can be both personal and private property, but land ownership that communists want to abolish are typically the land used for production, such as land that is used for drilling, mining, farming etc. Once private property is abolished it becomes socially owned.

This does not abolish individual motivation because communists still rewards you with personal property items such as homes, cars, clothes etc..

oligarchy: A small group of people who control a country, organization, or institution. Hey that sounds like capitalism!

"During the time between the sales pitch and the collapse, Communism blames its failures on internal disloyalty."

I'm glad you brought up that point. Communists experience counter-revolutionaries, those are the people who indeed are executed in their terror regimes. Your assumption that communists kill INNOCENTS is flawed.

Here's another tidbit for the general public, capitalists DO get involved in communists revolutions and kill the communists as well. Neither side is innocent of killing. neither side is killing innocents, but communists revolutionaries ARE wars, and indeed war causes food disruptions and killings, but that isn't the goal of communism as a system, that is the side effect of the fact that they are in WAR.

In communism your person is the property of the state.

Read some Solzhenitsyn and disabuse yourself of the communist delusion.





Aleksander Wat was a Polish intellectual, imprisoned by Stalin following the outbreak of the Second World War. His remarkable memoirs have been compared with Solzhenitsyn's work. Here, he recalls his time in Kiev Prison in the Soviet Union, where writing on the latrine walls provided the only truth in a world perverted by Soviet lies. Wat considers one of these pieces of graffiti which read: ‘A curse on whoever invented the name Corrective Labour Camps.’


‘A curse on whoever invented the name... ’ – anger about a name, the meaning of words, semantics. The loss of freedom, tyranny, abuse, hunger would all have been easier to bear if not for the compulsion to call them freedom, justice, the good of the people. Mass exterminations are not an exception in history; cruelty is part of human nature, part of society. But a new, third, dimension had been added that was more deeply and subtly oppressive: a vast enterprise to deform language. Had it been only lies and hypocrisy – lying is part of human nature and all governments are hypocritical. The rulers' hypocrisy can cause rebellion, but here any possible rebellion had been nipped in the bud once and for all. A lie is an infirmity, a disease of language. The natural function of language is to ascertain the truth, or truths. Lies, by their very nature partial and ephemeral, are revealed as lies when confronted with language's striving for truth. But here all the means of disclosure had been permanently confiscated by the police. The customary or even the logical, natural connections between words and things, facts, had been taken from the individual, expropriated everywhere, and nationalized for good, so that now any word could mean whatever suited the whims of the usurper of all words, meanings, things, and souls. The viler the deed, the more grandiloquent the name. But if only this procedure were used to mask criminal means and ignoble ends – that too had happened often enough in history, the history of wars, tyrannies, and annexations; Tacitus knew about all that. But in this case a coherent set of grandiloquent terms and the opposing monstrous reality were kept side by side, ostentatiously and with diabolical thoroughness and perseverance, and under threat of extermination a person was coerced into fully believing that the terms and the facts were identical. Such things had been anticipated and attempted in history's darker hours, but this was the first time the ‘reforging of souls’ was carried out by the police on such a colossal scale, with such speed and such logic. Collective farmers dying of starvation were herded into films in which the tables buckled under the weight of food; under threat of death they had to believe that these banquets, and not their wretched poverty, their collective farms, were true and typical. Young enthusiasts sang rapturously:

‘I know no other land
Where a man can breathe so free’

while their fathers perished in the camps. But for souls that had not been reforged yet, nothing was as hateful as that total corruption of language. It drove them to their wits' end. It suffocated them like a nightmare, like a noose around their necks.

When I was at liberty in Russia, which by then had been pacified until it was like a cemetery, I saw some old people who risked their lives to shout out, if only once, that slavery is slavery and not freedom. That was to be a common thing later on in post-war Poland, even during the blackest years. I was one of that large number, and I paid dearly for it.

So in the prison latrines you could read the plain human truth about Stalin's Russia – there, and only there.
