No responsibility. Freedom fighters don't get responsibilities. Oppressive governments do.

Every individual takes responsibility in his actions, as there will always be consequences. By responsibility, I mean: take care of yourself. Don't get shot, if you truly are for freedom.

Thanks for the confirmation :)

No problem.

So CTALNH, want to explain what happened to the tens of thousands of Finnish communists who were so keen to establish one of the first soviet republics? Were they evil trotskyists or bourgeois collaborators?

Actually, no. Communism in theory is an idealistic pipe dream in which a dictatorship simply fades away into nothing, birthing the classless society that is actual Communism. This is preceded by a revolution and then a totalitarian state, but that state is NOT Communism (in theory or in practice). I trust this statement makes plain my personal view that an authentic communist society is impossible (at least on any large scale like a nation). However, my view that the system is impossible does not require me to portray it as something it is not.

But you can have a socialist economy under practically any government system.


To be fair, Communism can be classified as a form of Socialism. However, I believe most people distinguish between Socialism and Communism as two distinct systems.


To have a classless society you need a single class.

Governments don't give rights, they take them away. Rights are universal, natural and absolute. They have always existed and always will.

Corporations or any humans can take rights away just as well.
And doesn't answer the question.
There is nothing at all different between a government banning non-whites and a corporation doing the same.

As many people here have said already, freedom of speech and representation through political parties are vital tenants of Democracy, so no they should not be banned, members imprisoned, persecuted or anything else like that.

Being against some of someone's ideas =/= being against all of their ideas.

Come on, man. It's not difficult.
Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.
