I Hate Communism
There is something very immoral about communism.
If you've read Das Kapital, you'll know that even before you reach Marx's bungled explanation of the economics of the system, the social and anthropological premises and assumptions are revolting.
Yet communism feeds into a deep historic desire within humanity of doing "good" without really understanding what constitutes "good".
The surprising thing for me was finding the same principles of collectivism and community-first - rather than the individual - in Judeo-Christian religions that Communism is built on.
As such, I believe Communism could only have come from a Western or Judeo-Christian mind. As much as it rejects God, it does strictly adhere to the notion of the 'flock'. No Eastern thought system could have given rise to Communism, because in the East people are very clear and accepting of the separation between equity and equality... as in the former is an ideal and the latter does not exist.
I think a moral person who is also capable of thinking independently can never be a Communist.
