In light of the misnamed thread, "A Tribute to Joseph McCarthy (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=507025)", I have dug up a video on YouTube that is about communism.

It's about eight minutes long.

Summary: It's a call for a classless society, in which no one person has any authority over anyone else. Communism has no actual problem with private property when it is earned through the sweat and toil of labour and not simply given because a person is born into luxury.

Whatever. No one comes near my smouldering crater without threat of certain death. I am well protected! :D

Oh, and have some butter with your popcorn.

*melts some in the microwave*

Strange... I was actually surprised at how much of it I disagreed with.

Marx's analysis in the Communist Manifesto is really rather shallow,

That was my assessment of the video too. There was a lot of good rhetoric, and it made some good points, but I found myself wanting something a bit more substantive.

Wait, what? I thought Marx, along with Engels wrote The Communist Manifesto.

They did. Their analysis in it was shallow.

Oh, I somehow read that as "Marx's analysis of The Communist Manifesto is shallow"

I really need to just go to sleep.

Sleep is just a method of bourgeois oppression against the working class!

So are reading comprehension and logical chronology.

So, they wouldn't have a problem with my parents choosing to let me inherit their property?

Ok, that was just plain boring, the guy had a monotone voice and honestly I couldn't listen to it for more than 2 minutes.
