Communism didn’t die with Marx nor was it born with him.

Communism didn’t die with Marx nor was it born with him.

My take is that communism/socialism is just a convenient way to summarize the good ole "seven deadly sins". Lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, pride.

When you look at the impetus behind most socialistic policies, it boils down to some combination of those 7 worst characteristics of humanity.

I'd add one more - ignorance - to take care of all those "useful idiots" that go along for the ride because they buy into the deception propaganda without thought.
