I think communism has largely gotten an unfair rap. Properly applied, communism is really no harder to deal with than advanced gangrene or bubonic plague.
Lighten up, folks. Boru

This is a new one for me.

Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

No. I think it would work well in a small self-sustained community, but the most likely end result is zero innovation and initiative, everyone becoming a drone, a zombie, just another cog in the machine... Might have worked well on ancient tribal communities, but was invented a bit too late for them.  Quote:Naturalism? I doubt things were so good in Hunter/Gatherer groups. Quote:Nudism.
