Communism Is Widely Misunderstood
Karl Marx's true vision was never comprehended by the masses; it has always been warped by the close-minded.

What Marx thought and want Communism actually is are two completely different things. Marx's ideas were genius in theory, but crazy in actuality.

Sure I think that communism as Karl Marx believed is misunderstood, because no one has ever seen it work in it's form the way he wanted it to. Communism as we have seen it, doesn't work. Pure socialism also doesn't seem to work and capitalism is a straight path to insanity.
In a capitalistic society money and power are what's important, the people get forgotten, because the numbers don't work out.
Power and greed are what's started all the wars and created most of the problems in this world.
In communism the government is just too big, and whomever is in control is on the path to insanity over power and greed.
I think the only kind of government that will work is one that's capitalistic, which encourages economy and socialistic that keep the people in mind. And when the politicians try to do things for their own benefit,, throw them out.

I think that capitalism is the only true way to run an economy and a society.
Human nature is greedy and selfish and wants to get ahead in life: Capitalism accommodates this inherent nature of Mankind, while Communism is self-immolation.
