It irritates me when people says communism when they refer to socialism.
i was about to say something about that. Marx's "communism" isn't communism despite his writing called the "communist manifesto", it's a form of socialism. It's called the communist manifesto because he describes the faults of it and weighs it against socialism and such while comparing the history of it. Hence, "a spectre is haunting europe", and that spectre is communism or whatever. People toss aroudn the phrase "communism is too idealistic" or whatever the variant as if it's some sort of cliche and never give any thought to it actually being practical in real life. Think for yourself before you announce other's ideals as your own.
This isn't meant bad to anyone...but do you people even nkow anything about marx at all? i don't see how you can just brush his ideals aside if you don't know what they are...i'm not trying to offend anyone, but it doesn't seem like it.
