I was an anti-communist in a communist country

Well, at least until I came to my senses. Today I am a proud communist. I see that I have riled up the people in this sub with my previous posts, and that is proof that you still live in the world before the WW2 ended. You are taught not to question anything and you still think that the communism is the enemy. <br><br>You see the anti-communist propaganda form all sides, you are brainwashed by the media and the state to hate the communism. And I was. But, then I read the Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital. That was enough for me to change my mind. Today, I think that the communism is the only thing that is able to save us. You are so focused on fighting the "big evil" that you don't see that in that fight you are just participating in the fight between the two factions of the capitalist class. <br><br>The owners of the capital are two big groups. One was the old money that came from the forced labor and stealing form the colonies, and the other that came from the industrial revolution and the so called free labor. And that was the point of the big revolution that we are living in, to open up the markets for the industrial revolution and create a system in which the product of the labor of the worker stays with the owner of the capital. The owner of the capital takes the raw materials, hires the labor, uses the labor to transform the raw materials into a product, and then gets to keep both the product and the profit that comes from it.<br><br>In that struggle the worker is nothing but just a tool, he is paid only enough for him to be able to reproduce himself, and all the profit that comes from his labor is going into the pocket of the capitalist. In that struggle you are nothing but cannon fodder. You are told that you are living in democracy and that you have a choice, but in the end, you are given a chance to chose between two parties that are serving the capitalist class. <br><br>And you are so goofy that you think that those people are your representatives, that they will work for you, you are so silly that you even think that it is possible to have a representative, someone that can represent the people and their interests. It is not possible. The people are too many and too different from each other. They have their own interests, and a representative can't possibly represent all of them. That is why the communist movement is different. In the communist movement the representative doesn't exist. <br><br>You do all by yourselves. You gather around the idea of the class struggle. You realize that there are two classes, the capitalist class, those form the old money and the ones that come from the industrial revolution, and the working class, the people that work for salary. You realize that you are part of the working class, that you are being exploited, that the capitalist class is exploiting you, that you are nothing more than a tool to them.<br><br>Then you realize that you are not alone. You see that there are millions of workers around you. You are all in the same situation. You all have the same interests. And that is where the point of the communist movement starts. You see that you have a common enemy, and that is the capitalist class. You are taught not to hate the capitalist, not to hate the exploiters, but you are taught to hate the communists. <br><br>I was the same, I hated the communists, I saw them as some kind of evil that wants to make everyone equal. That was nonsense. But you have to see for yourself. Learn, read the literature that was written by the communists, by Marx and Engels. See that there is a class struggle, that the capitalist class is exploiting you, that you are being used by them, and after that, open your eyes. <br><br>And when you do that you will see that I am right. You will see that the communist movement is the only thing that can save us. You will see that we have a chance to change the system, to change the world in which we are living. To stop the class struggle and create a society in which the classes don't exist. And that is the utopia. A society in which the classes are abolished, in which there is no exploiters and no exploited. <br><br>And that is our aim. We want to create a world in which there is no classes, a world in which the people are people, and not just tools in the hand of the capitalist. And that is possible. The communist movement can do that. It can create a world in which the people are free, a world in which we are all people, and not just slaves of the capitalist class. <br><br>And we will do that. I am not sure if it will happen in my lifetime, but it will happen. The people will wake up, they will see that the communist movement is their only hope, and when that day comes, the capitalist class will be defeated for good. And until that day comes, I will fight for it. I will fight for the future of the people, for the future of our kind, for the future in which we will be able to live in peace and freedom.
