    I would argue without a state the strong dominate the weak and communism therefore becomes impossible.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    With a State the strong dominate the weak anyway, so that would be no different. However, replacing a State with actual Democracy (Meant in the truest direct democracy sense of the word) would allow for this to be rectified to an extent as the local collective can deal with things more effectively.

    Anyway, as I said I'm not a Marxist, I just feel that there are parts of it well worth defending. I really do have to study now, so I'm going to go do that. I will undoubtedly return at some later point.

    Oh, and thanks Gorbi... I don't care what they say about the head thing.

    if people are going to argue that Stalin was a Marxist, I am going to argue some one else is a nationalist and anyone who adovocate nations is just like that.

    In short, quit doing the obvious troll arguments, because it is obvious to yourselves you are incorrect or BG might as well lock this topic.
