Faulty Political Ideology
In response to the 'positive' notion from western countries when the word 'capitalism' is heard or read as opposed to the 'negative' notion the word 'communism' brings to mind, one must look beyond the conditioning and programming and focus on not only the definitions of political ideology, but further investigate how any particular ideology functions economically. Looking at these man-made concepts via their true mechanisms and machinations will shed light on many misconceptions, expose the fallacy in logic and further clearly identify which form and variances you are subject to.
The misconception is that a 'communist' by definition is anti-capitalist ( or anti making money or owning things ), or is poor and willing to live a paupers life so others can benefit mutually ( or 'made' to do such by a totalitarian government ). Quite the contrary. That 'poor' notion is the program conditioned onto the masses, for them to accept. One must look at what 'class' the person views the world and their function in society.
The inherent desires in man is to be free from encumbrance, to own his possessions outright and set themselves up as free from all peoples and things owned by them.
The word 'communist' is simply a word which has been used to manipulate and instigate the minds... much how 'capitalism' was used in Russia ( U.S.S.R. ) a few generations ago to stir up the same emotions and views in their populous towards the U.S.A. Yet, both and all other systems of government, though seemingly well intentioned or even widely accepted or executed, still fail.
The trick in the paradigmatic view of a 'capitalist' or 'capitalism' is that the people 'think' they are free while paying for their existence, the only difference is the illusion of freedom as the carrot they chase gets larger with the increase of their desire to gain, to amass wealth, their capacity to learn and understand and is limited by market competition and possibly government ( anti trust laws ).
Yet, all people, in whichever 'ism' you choose, are bound by the laws of nature, and this no man can escape nor create any 'system' or 'ism' to combat. They are greed, selfishness, selfish ambition and envy just to name a few.
What I suggest people desire is 'freedom' and 'liberty' in every form and manifestation possible. And desire to find out what are the laws of nature and what are the common / natural laws which summon freedom and discourage ( or restrict outright ) any form of tyranny, encroachment or leaning on one person from another.
This can only be done with limited government ( or no government with private citizens creating competitive businesses to serve the public, subject to public will and consent ) and an aware and awake populous, where everyone is earning their keep and all being equal under the law / under God ( and i mean ALL PEOPLE, not only a particular class, ethnicity or religious preference ) and is participating in society in some way or another ( taking responsibility ).
The attempt was made a few centuries ago in what was once known as "America," yet the land was conquered via genocide and theft along with attempts of foreign empires intending and desiring full ownership. Then followed the use of slavery to build an economy. Then a distinction was built and a class structure fixed when men, with good intention but still lacking foresight and not realizing their own racism and lack of love for their fellow man, created laws which benefited them and subjected all others ( in the guise of 'all equal under law' ).
