I've read up on Communism and I still have a few questions to ask.
Karl Marx says that the proletarian will stand up against the burgeoisie, and plant the seeds of Communism through Socialism. However, it seems like this won't happen. Since pure Communism (nor Socialism, for that matter) has never been practiced on a full scale in modern society, and has instead grown sour somewhere along the way, wouldn't that imply that Communism was more of an idea than a realistic political system that could effectively be put into practice?
A Communist society would probably fall apart, anyway. Even if Communism were to be established, since there would be no national bond between the people, it would be very likely that the society would divide itself into several different tribes (Communism is basically tribalism with a few modern touches) and fight amongst itself? How would you prevent this?
There always needs to be some form of government. Communism may have worked during the times of Cro Magnon, but that all changed with the development of cities and civil law. Although I level with you on the fact that capitalism is cruel and unjust, however, wouldn't the other extreme would lead to total chaos?
The whole Marxist idea seems pretty idealistic, and I'm curious as to how you would go about making your dreams come true.
