The egalitarian ideals championed in communism are truly noble IMO. The trouble with communism (again IMO) is not that it is inefficient as a means of building up the material wealth of a nation (as compared to capitalism), but precisely that (like capitalism) it posits no higher ideals for humankind besides the acquisition of material wealth. There's a lot more to life than just making money. And all this money-making is bringing our entire planet's biosphere to grief, be it said -- communism being in fact as guilty of that as capitalism by virtue of its exclusive concern with material wealth (okay, plus how it's distributed).
On a lighter note, has anyone here tried the game Red Faction? This game's full of communist references. [img]smile.gif[/img] I like it.
