How many times do I have to repudiate the idea that Marxism is Statist before people will finally accept that it is not?Oh, right, because they take away from the reputation of all those communist states that didn't oppress people, like.....oh, wait, there are none. The USSR was born of Marxism and is a result of putting that oppressive theory into practice. Bah - the plaintive plea that 'real' communism has never been tried is pathetic. It dodges the real issue, which is that every incarnation of a communist state has been oppressive, because the foundation of communism is taking away freedom - it is the state telling people how to live, and punishing those who don't go along.
I'm not going to disagree with you there.I hope that stain on the human soul never returns.

Nothing established by violence and maintained by force, nothing that degrades humanity and is based on contempt for human personality, can endure.
