A Little Information on Communism

There is one thing that needs to be made clear in today's world about communism. There is a misconception in our modern American society that the Soviet Union under Stalin was a communist government. The truth is: IT WAS NOT. This nation was under the oppressive thumb of a totalitarian bureaucracy, NOT a communist government! In fact, Joseph Stalin had Marxists and other advocates of true communism in his country exterminated. Joseph Stalin was an oppressive dictator, not a communist leader.

Capitalists love this misconception, and it's one that keeps many in this country terrified of the word communism to this day. Communism's negative connotation is rooted at this mistake.

The world has never seen a real communism, and it won't until these oppressive control instruments keeping our species divided (e.g. patriotism, religion) collapse. It doesn't help that the United States government has been doing a fantastic job of assassinating and overthrowing democratically elected rulers in Latin America who were communists. This has caused turmoil and rough relations in Latin America to this day: drug lords, illegal immigration, etc... we are reaping what we have sewn!
