A title used by members of the political party that is the furthest to the left. A communist believes that the means of production and the fruits of production should be owned and granted to the workers. (Ex. Factory workers producing snow-globes should jointly own the factory and receive all the profit from the snow-globes that are sold, then divided equitably among the workers). The philosophy of communism arose from a man named Karl Marx who lived in the monarchist Germany in the mid-1800s. Europe was home to many unfair societies at the time, where there were a few rich, (the bourgeoisie) and the rest of society were poor, abused, laborers. Karl Marx advocated destroying the rich aristocracy in favor a country filled with only laborers who governed themselves and everybody was equal, socially and financially.

People believe that communism is not having to work for your money. This is wrong, a Communist State is when people are forced to work for their Government. They get paid through distributed food and get given a house. Most houses are not much different in communism everyone has the same thing. Most telecom is disabled so you cannot have communication with other country's to know wether or not their is a better country out their. So the only thing you were born with and know is Communism.

Someone who becomes sexually aroused at the thought of a massive, central government controlling the means of production in a given society.

One who believes that by taking property rights away, that they might change society.
One who wants change at the expense of individual liberty.

A communist can be religious. In fact, they usually are!

They believe that a society in which assets are state owned is practicle, and would actually work out and help the residents of a country.

Well, most of them believe that. Some believe that it's a way for them to gain power.

And really, that's all Communism is about. Power.

But communists will continue to go about trying to achieve something which would only be socially devistating. And they'll do whatever they can to try and achieve it, hurting anyone who comes in their way. See: End justifies the means.

Communist;

1)Therm used by Republicans, rednecks, and others a like, who think that everyone that doesn't agree with anything the U.S.A. does is a uncivilized communist.

Someone who believes "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need." - Karl Marx This fallacy falls apart when all communists finally snap to the fact that if their need exceeds their ability they should be able to eat without working (also see socialist, democrat).
