I could debate the supposed moral superiority of communism, but I won't. What I do wonder is how you can actually thing that some form of true communism (and here ill differentiate this from Leninist/Stalinist communism, which I would think you would agree isn't true communism) could ever come about with the weight of 10000+ years of recorded history against it. Believing in communism to me seems akin to believing in Santa, or thinking the Earth is flat. A true communist society goes against human nature, and nature in general. I'm actually suprised that anyone really thinks that it's possible. For such a "intrinsic and unstoppable movement of history" there seems to be no place on Earth where any form of true communism is being practiced on a large-scale basis. This might be offtopic, but I would really like to see how you see a communist society functioning. Not just platitudes and catchphases, but actual nuts and bolts of how society would be run. What form of goverment would there be? Who would decide how resources would be allocated? Who would do jobs generally considered undesireable? Would there be luxury goods (and by luxury, I mean anything not directly related to food or bare bones shelter). Who would enforce the laws?
