Kulturkampf's Fun-Time Philosophy Jamboree! (merged)

[Zhukov]

OK, communism.

Communism is not a political state, or a moral code, or a nation. It is a lack thereof. Communism is a stateless society. You are not forced to help everyone else, you are not forced to work for the good of society.

It's a higher form of society where everyone can do whatever the hell they want. People work because work is liberating. You help people out because you want to. It's not something we have seen, or will see in our lifetimes. It's 'Utopian', and it's not achievable with the world's current socio-economic layout. It's not a government, it's a way people live with each other and how they treat them. It's a world where class does not exist.

It's not the USSR, it's not Cuba, it's certainly not North Korea. It's the whole world or it's nothing. It's something to build towards, and maybe achieve in the future. It's not something that can happen in a year, two years, or a decade.

It's still something that I think will eventually happen, and if it doesn't then the world is screwed.
