So, I'm open to being proven wrong, just provide some cites to writings of say, Marx or Engels where they say the Communist state will force everyone to have the same pay, education, etc, etc.
Communism was a failed experiment, and caused untold misery to millions, but there's no need to make stuff up about it like the original author did. It just makes her look ignorant, and more than slightly off-her-meds.
Others have noted other blatant errors in fact, I don't think I need to repeat them again surely. Anyone who thinks this writer is a genius or something really needs to improve the quality of their reading material and maybe get out more.

Marx was a loser who allowed his wife and children to live in squalor and poverty and eventually to die because he was too obsessed with his scribblings to get a job and provide for his family, which makes sense of why he advocated that the State be 'father & mother." Marx was a self-centered parasitic fanatic who actually believed he'd ingeniously created a magic formula that would "save the world." Bottom line on your icons: They were nasty, envious, miserable squatty sorts who, once in power, destroyed the lives of millions. Your icons said many things and made many claims, but what's important are the bloodbaths and wholesale destruction of society that occured as a result of their rantings being put into action. Those are the things that count. Words are cheap...it's the actions that count, which means that their miserable, worthless spewings are not worth debating except to those who actually empathize with the vomitus of Marx, Lenin, et al.
And yes indeed, I noticed that there were "all two of you" (perhaps even as many as a 'crowd' of 3??) that took offense to the article. That is as profoundly impressive as a blank sheet of paper.
Thanks for the elucidation.
It's easy to say something is wrong, but not necessarily as easy to provide documentation.
Communism (and, of course, there are many variations of the theme) is always a crime against nature. Human nature, mother nature, and the Author of all nature.
One of my grown children tried to tell me that Communism didn't work because it never was tried "well enough" but I squashed her argument in about 5 minutes and she had to agree that it is totally wrong not only in application but in theory.
Nice rant, but it failed to address the point that the original author was making stuff up.
their miserable, worthless spewings are not worth debating
You're unable to either admit your error or provide evidence then. Ok.
I wasn't aware that 'blustering ignorance' was supposed to be a conservative 'value' -- usually I associate it with Dims, in fact. That's one of the reasons I actually learned something about Marxism - 'know your enemy' is more my style than your 'wallow in righteous ignorance' approach.
To each his own, however. You and the original author seem about the same mindset (frothing, hissing and spitting-wise) at least.
