RE: Community Building is Not Communism! Is A Fear of 'Communism' Trapping Us Into Corporate Enslavement?
The bogeyman of the Soviet Union is conjured whenever the word "communism" surfaces among knee-jerk, zealous capitalists.
They have no idea that communism, as envisioned by Karl Marx, has never advanced beyond the dictatorship of the proletariat to realize its egalitarian potential.
Marx was spot on when he wrote that capitalism contains the seeds of is own destruction.
Unfortunately, it seems increasingly likely that capitalism will destroy the planet and the Human Race before it gasps its last money-grubbing breath.
I have only studied Marx to a shallow level - but I can see there are correct statements made in his thinking - however, at the same time I know that he and the other thinkers of the day (and many of today) lacked the metaphysical depths needed to correctly evolve the planet in a balanced way. Capitalism clearly also doesn't represent such understandings - our natural selves do not overpower anyone.
