Well because some people like to cry communism when they want to paint someone as e I think it would be nice to have a debate on communism. I am not sure that there are any true communists on this board so I will play devil's advocate. In the interest of logic and accuracy I think it would be beneficial for me to say up front that communism does not automatically mean statism (in fact some communists wish for a stateless society.) it means in the most basic sense collective ownership. Communism wishes to end what they call "wage slavery" and private property. Now that you know what it is I hope to see some logical arguments.
