Obviously read a lot to put it in terms of "dusty drawers" sonofliberty2. But you drag me all over the map in saying communism is the ultimate philosophy of rationalism. Rationalism has gone various ways, but the communists have a horrible track record being rational. I suppose it would be fair to say the geneology of communism goes through Marx to Hegel. But we must separate the political movement from the philosophical figures that seed them.
