Friedrich Engles and A JP Taylor

Volumes and volumes could be written about communism, but in fact, the actual Communist Manifesto is a mere forty pages. Karl Marx, the principal former of communism as we know it now, later wrote many books fulfilling the outline or skeleton of communism, which is the Communist Manifesto. Communism cannot be summed up in one sentence, but it can be summed up in ten main ideas, sort of like the Ten Commandments of true communism. We know communism did not work, because of one main reason: it defies human nature and human rights.

Although communism in different countries and years might differ, the following is an outline of what is done to have a communist government as described in length in the Communist Manifesto:

1. All private property has to be annihilated and turned into public property. This means that all property will go to the government (who knows how greedily they will use it) and distributed fairly within all the masses. Later on this part also included food, clothes and personal items to be dist

One of the main problems that defies human nature is that someone will always want to be the ruler or leader and in this case, the government would take all the average non-aristocratic people's money and become very rich and form the two classes of a communist society. The first is the bourgeoisie and the workers, who make the same pay and second, the aristocracy or government. They take the people's money and use it for themselves, which destroys the economy. In the end, the government looks almost like feudalism again. First, there is the dictator or king, and under him his nobles and vassals, which are the rest of the government workers, who are also aristocracy. Finally there are the peasants, workers, businessmen who are all equal and have no class struggles anymore and hardly realizes what just happened; both bourgeoisie and the workers are equal but now they lost there money and fair lives to the aristocracy, who are taking all their money. Take Russia for example; in the end the country is in shambles and there are a few very rich and greedy people and all the rest are practically starving.

When all this is done in every civilized country and it is running smoothly (yeah right)

10. Free education in public schools and elimination of child labor. When learning in school, you also learn about industrial production. This means that while learning normal school stuff, you also learn an occupation.

9. The destruction or abolition of the distinction between town and country by a combination of agriculture and manufacturing industries and, also by evenly distributing the population across the country. There is one problem here, for instance, the people living in Siberia might revolt on this matter because of the unfavorable location that they have to live in. The point of this is to help make fewer conflicts between townsmen and countrymen.

6. Communication and transportation is in the hands of the state. This basically means no free speech; the government takes the right to censor any publications and thoughts, like ones against the government. Marx would not be able to write this manifesto without this right. It also means that the state will censor where you go and leaving the country, like in bad times.

(Then, after all this is completed we have a perfect world or Utopia, just what Marx wanted, but life is about conflicts and problems)

I do not understand why people listened and followed Marx. People listen to a man who does know much about history or does not look back to events in time. He was a member of the Bourgeoisie in Germany (mainly because his good friends Engles supported him) who barely worked a day in his life except a job as a journalist for very little of his life. He spent most of his time in
