Does this video in any way advocate communism? Because if it does I need to know so I can be sure I have nothing like that on my favorites.

An "Anarchist" like yourself shouldn't be worrying about Communism, it's Fascism that you've got to look out for. Anarchists and Communists have long worked in co-operation for good and virtuous causes. It's time for us all to unite in defense of freedom, Communist, Anarchist, Liberal, Libertarian, Right, Left, Up Down, Black, Blue, White, Yellow or Pink. Long live the October Revolution.

no, its not about communism, its about racial revolution.
Well I'm not really ... ( 1 week ago by daemonboi2)
Well I'm not really opposed to communism so long as no one forces it upon anyone else. If you wanted to have a voluntary version of communism in which no one is coerced into doing anything they don't want to then that's fine with me. I'm just against the idea of communism as a system of government.

I like many Anarchists advocate an immediate transition to Liberalist, Democratic Communism, and then a slow transition to Anarchy. Communism isn't even about forcing itself onto people anyway, it's about liberating people from Capitalist oppression, if they enjoy Capitalist oppression, they can get the fuck out.
The originally idea ... ( 1 week ago by ronoc9)
The originally idea of communism came from Marx. The communists in Russia were just selfish and saw a moment when they could take power without being stopped. That's not REAL communism. But becos of years of cold war propaganda, people now think that that is what communism is. Poor Mr. Marx; his dream was lost by greed.
Well for me being ... ( 1 week ago by daemonboi2)
Well for me being an anarchist means being against all government weather they're 'communist' 'democratic' 'liberalistic' or anything else. If some one is hitting my hand with a hammer I don't want them to gradually use softer hammers and work their way down from there, I want them to stop hitting my hand all together. If infact communism is voluntary then I have nothing against it, but the moment it becomes forced on people I'll spend the rest of my life trying to dismantle it.

By the way, this might be wrong, but wasn't the original Marxist idea to have a Communist state with not government as such other than administrative authorities for finance and stuff: The people governed themselves and all? I have Das Kapital beside my bed, but I can't be bothered reading it.

Oh so you mean that according to marxist idealology it's practical that there wouldn't have to be government in a communistic society, with the exception of taxation?
Yes, according to ... ( 5 days ago by VENII08)
Yes, according to the marxist "idealology" it's practical that there would be a committee which would decide upon the distribution of various things, food of course. I mean, I'm just kind of guessing here. My point was that an Anarchist society and a "communistic" society are not incompatible. Many believe in a hybridization of the two and a gradual transference to absolute Anarchy.

o my god. a moment! re-listin to this song and read lenin and trotsky. You are force feed capitalist prop! And the USA televised the Russian revolution! There was no moment to be seen. It was the third revolution of 1917 which changed the world. if you really think that lenin was not a communist then PLEASE PLEASE read " the state and revolution" by Lenin. You will thank me if you agree with Marx. And also remember that marx was not the only one who wrote the CM. Engels co-wrote it.
Communism is not ... ( 3 days ago by redanok)
Communism is not counterpoised to anarchism. Both want a classless socity in which government as we know today will not exsist. The differ because Marxism demands the aboltion of the capitalism and a withering away of the state. Anarchism is abolition of the state and capitalism. the question is, do you think that the human race can abolish the state right now or should it wither away with workers control. Please read more my friend.

Well I do think Lenin was a communist, but he abused it, and so did Stalin.
