they simply see what is better for the society.They simply see that exploiting ,let's say. 100 people for the interest of one person is wrong as a concept itself,which it makes them explore the worker's class' condition.
Well,you can look at them as Idealist,but i don't see any negative thing in being idealist,which i am.And i consider myself communist.
A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery. It cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.

Nope. A man gets rich by one of two ways. Inheritance or exploiting labor. Inheritance is not an ideal of Communism and would cease to exist. He must have invested in stocks of companies, administrative at a company, or owner of a company. All of the above rely on wage labor to make profits. For instance, NKE shares are high, and the reason it is profitable is because the individuals who make the shoes, thus, making stock owners not Communists because they capitalize on wage labor. If you are in an administrative position your job only exists because of laborers, and for you to receive compensation you must exploit them with wage labor. Which denies you the right to be a Communist.

I agree. Time to rob some banks, kidnap some bourgeois, send fascists to for-profit prisons, expropriate what rightfully belongs to the working class.
"It is necessary for Communists to enter into contradiction with the consciousness of the masses. . . The problem with these Transitional programs and transitional demands, which don't enter into any contradiction with the consciousness of the masses, or try to trick the masses into entering into the class struggle, create soviets - [is that] it winds up as common-or-garden reformism or economism." - Mike Macnair, on the necessity of the Minimum and Maximum communist party Program.

You can accumulate wealth by the fruits of your labor alone. Most people who've acquired opulence has done it in an un-pure way. Which doesn't make you a Communist, rather a Capitalist.

Might I suggest the thought that communism is not a lifestyle.
Indeed, but if I exploit your labor and claim to be a Communist I'm either obtuse to the ideology or a phony.

Why can someone only be a communist if it's in their class interests? Does it really benefit workers to be communists? I see no problem with approaching communism from a moral perspective.
well. to be honest the blokes that came up with the idea, in the first place, were a tinsy bit middle class.... well as far as i can tell and anyhow...
the left is not exactly overflowing with the milk of political support.... we could probably do with all the help we can get...
if it is genuine, sincere and unqualified, that is.

Someone get Engels on the phone and tell him that he is either not a communist or does not understand what communism is.
Might I suggest that a communist revolution is one which changes all social relations into communist relations, making the transformation of your own day to day life of the utmost importance?
Who says we'll need legitimate funding? I wouldn't ask them for shit.
