United we stand, divided we fall.
When people think of communism they usualy think of corrupt dictators
and deeds such as the great purge.By this I hope to correct the great
missunderstanding that people now believe.
Communism is an ideology based on equality. It has long endured
negative images and attacks unlike any other. Communism is much better
than capitalism. Capitalism is based on exploitation. Many like to
point to the former USSR and China to show that communism does not
work. The truth is that they are not really communist nations.
Communism and democracy go hand in hand. The nation that is closer to
real communism is Cuba. But then again communism won't work if
fundamental rights are curtailed. The critics of communism say that
the government would have too much power in a communist nation. Let me
ask you this. Which one would you trust--a government democratically
elected by the people or a corporation run by private individuals
whose main motive is profit-making?
Communism in itself is not a completely defined ideology. Scholars
themselves differ in their viewpoints on how to attain a communist
State. I am not advocating a revolution since nothing could be more
disastrous. I wouldn't advocate a complete abolition of private
property either. What I am advocating is change in the way things are
done economically. The essential requirements for the well being of a
society like education, health care, and social security should be
completely in the hands of the government. Businesses should be under
strict supervision of the government. Only a government elected by the
people, of the people, and for the people can guarantee our rights,
privileges, and duties.
Unfortunately, capitalism is an ideology that has permeated our
lives. The simple truth is that capitalism is a crime against humanity
and today it is being done too often. The main motive of a capitalist
is to make profit. In the race to make profits, capitalists may not
always take care of the well-being of their workers when they are the
backbone of any country in the world. The best example to point out
the evils of capitalism right now is the tobacco industry in the
United States which even until a few years ago was lying to the
public. The web of deceit spun by these bad tobacco companies says to
me that the tobacco companies are perpetuating genocide by selling
cigarettes. If you ask me, they should be tried for crimes against
humanity at the International Court of Justice at the Hague. Tobacco
companies are not part of the menace that is ravaging us. If we don't
unite and stand up to these vicious, hideous, and murderous
capitalists the earth would not be a place fit to live in due to the
destruct
ion that the capitalists are causing.
In the U.S. as is the case everywhere, capitalism is nothing more
than an excuse for exploiting the masses. The only thing the elite
capitalist cares about is filling his own pocket. Here are some of the
points highlighted in a 30th anniversary update to the Kerner
Commission prepared by the Eisenhower Foundation released on March1:
�The umemployment rate for young men in inner cities is over 30
percent; the national rate is 5%.
�The U.S. income gap has widened to the point that the top 1 percent
of Americans have more wealth than the bottom 90 percent. The poor are
disproportionately African-American and Hispanic.
�One in three young black men is in prison, on probation, or on parole.
�States now spend more per year on prisons than on higher education.
Ten years ago the spending priorities were reversed.
