An ideology based essentially on the idea expounded by Karl Marx, that in an ideal society everyone would receive what they needed and would produce according to their capacity. From this idea was elaborated a doctrine whereby a Socialist state would be established that would in time subsume the economic structure of society into itself. At this point the State itself would wither and the new ideal Communist society would emerge. It's surely a beautiful idea on paper, and may even work with small tribal bands ... but just try to apply it to a society made of millions of us naked apes and see what happens.
Marx incidentally suggested that agrarian societies would be more likely to develop in time along such lines; the adoption of Communist doctrine by industrial societies like Leninist-Stalinist Russia may arguably be in itself a perversion of Marx's idea.

Capitalism is the exploitation of man by man. Communism is the exact reverse. - John Gardner
Any man who is not a Communist at the age of twenty is a fool. Any man who is still a Communist at the age of thirty is an even bigger fool. - George Bernard Shaw.
Communism: right idea, wrong species. - Jermaine Evans
The Catholic and the Communist are alike in assuming that an opponent cannot be both intelligent and sincere. - George Orwell.
A Communist is like a crocodile - when it opens its mouth you cannot tell whether it is trying to smile or preparing to eat you up. - Winston Churchill

Get the incestmug. Look at those nouveaux-riches types at the boarding school on sports day. They want everyone to know they have diamonds on the soles of their shoes.

Get the diamonds on the soles of their shoesmug. Chap who lived back in the nineteenth century. Grew a big beard, in which he invested quite a lot. Had a good head for mathematics and wrote a lot about property and political evolution. A bit boring, not always on the money, and misunderstood by airheads and meatheads, as dead white males usually are. He overestimated both human generosity and the idea of membership of the working class as a badge of pride. Someone recently posted that he taught that the lazy should be allowed leech off the hard-working. This actually is a pretty good picture of present-day America, where the lazy keep getting away with it because the hard-working keep voting for them.

Get the Karl Marxmug. 1. A really sexy looking, easy going hippie chick. Free loving, Earth Momma type. A hot altie.
2. Mould growing on food, often from a combination of lack of preservatives due to Luddite fears and either a tendency to forget the food is there, or an inability to use it up fast enough, on the part of the slightly addled individual who bought it.

Ginny's walking out topless with her bump again. She's a real bit of hippie pepper, all right.
Guess what? There's hippie pepper all over the great BIG bag of garlic again.

Get the hippie peppermug. Contrary to the old codgers who said it was the conservation of angular momentum, apparently it's down to fat bottomed girls. Let's not forget their importance. Otherwise, just think about it, you'd never get up in the morning. Thank ya Freddie, you've gone and made a big physics student of me.

Get the fat bottomed girlsmug. Used in expressions to describe work in which all conceivable (and some inconceivable) sources have been mined; such figures of speech might include "everything except the kitchen sink", "everything and the kitchen sink", and so on. Used in an in-joke in Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith, in which one of the objects spinning into one of the cruisers in the opening Battle of Coruscant is, according to George Lucas, a (CG)kitchen sink.
