Define communism in 25 words or less for ADS Lancer... Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Anyone using more than 25 words in an effort to define communism will be shot by order of the politboro.

BS may use as many words as you like.

Points will be awarded for the best definition.

Put an end to popups!

yeah, but now comes 500 posts on how communism encourages a free market since they invented capitalism, and how personal freedoms aren't sacrificed but stripped away by evil dictators who are not product of the communist theory, and how individuality is no discouraged only not rewarded monitarily, but is more or less encouraged since one doesn't have to fear fiscal persecution to persue their endevours.... blah blah blah


it is evil, humans need conformity and competition to thrive

end of story

Here's a definition of capital that MtG might like



Capital is dead labor, which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labor, and lives the more, the more labor it sucks.

In Capitalism, greed keeps society back. In Communism, jealousy keeps society back, but ultimately poorer, thus having less innovations and results than Capitalism.

"...while gaining shackles, a straightkacket and a blindfold."

The shackles wear out too fast, the straightjacket doesn't fit and you can see the firing squad through the damn blindfolds, which is really ok as they are the complaint dept.

Nahhh, MTG, haven't you heard? This is the kinder, gentler marxist theory.

It's impolite and bad form to compare them with their fellow comrades (unless of course, it suits their purposes), AND it's impolite to force them to confront the absurdities in their own ideology.

Party on...

Instead of constantly getting racked over a fire? That sounds like an improvement.
