People assume that communism needs to be a dictatorship to work, it does not. All previous "communist" countries have simply been brutal dictatorships using communism as a tool for total social control and suppression of dissent. If you have ever read any of Marx’s works you will see how different what his vision was to those who applied it. It IS possible to apply communism as a democracy and in a peaceful and humane manner.
For example from p108 of the German ideology:
"Anyone in whom there is a potential Raphael should be allowed to develop without hindrance"
If we look at society today, we in the west have far more than we will ever need. Enough food is grown to feed everyone, enough clothes are made to cover everyone, and yet there is still inequality. This inequality is artificially sustained by capitalism and the mindset created by it, only through communism and socialism shall humanity ever have a chance at changing the base inequity of life. The American government is simply the tool of the current ruling class (the rich) and therefore has no interest in redressing the global imbalance of wealth, the composition and polices of Bush of Bush’s government are enough to tell this at a glance.
Under capitalism you have no freedom. Everything you do is dictated by Money.
Communism is the only way.
In time people will see this and perhaps one day start the long journey to freedom.
