The (your) deepest reason to be a communist
If you are a communist, you *have* to make pre-suppositions in order to justify your choice.
From a humanist point of view, it's the only way to establish justice,sustinence and a good life for every person.
From a scientific one, it's the system that allows science to blast ahead at full speed.
One could argue (and has) that these are side effects of an objective, irreducible reason for one to be a communist.Do you agree with that and why?
Revolution?
Can it wait for a bit? I'm in the middle of some calibrations.

Educate - Agitate - Organise
Because I want to know the truth about this confusing, contradictory world we live in, and Marxism has gotten me closer to that truth than anything else so far.
"Socialism or Barbarism... If we are lucky".
I think it's the only morally correct system. It ends all oppression, it lets everyone live a happy life and have all their material needs met. I like that.

I am a communist because it is in my class interests to be a communist and I also believe that communism would be the most just and fair way to organize ourselves.
Because I don't like the idea of living paycheck to paycheck barely getting by even though I work full time while someone else reaps the rewards and gets to live a cosey life.
We claim to live and die equal, the way we were born: we want this real equality or death; that’s what we need.
And we’ll have this real equality, at whatever price. Unhappy will be those who stand between it and us! Unhappy will be those who resist a wish so firmly expressed.
The French Revolution was nothing but a precursor of another revolution, one that will be bigger, more solemn, and which will be the last.

Comrades, I like Communism.
No.
Comrades, I love Communism.
I love analysis. I love history. I love planning. I love distribution. I love production. I love systems. I love schematics. I love politics. I love society. I love dialectic. I love the proletariat and I absolutely love saying "proletariat."
I love Orthodox Marxism. I love Leninism. I love Trotskyism. I love Stalinism. I love Juche. I love Songun. I love social democracy. I love anarchism. Even though I am a Marxist-Leninist (or Jeoncheist, as I now go by for reasons), I love the full spectrum of communistic thought, from orthodoxy to absurd revisionism.
I love revolution. I love insurrection. I love guerrilla warfare. I love the construction of situations alternative to capitalism. I love the underground. I love sabotage. I love subversion. I love red scares and cold wars. I love every act of revolution that can occur upon this earth.
But most of all, I love being told I'm wrong. I love it when arrogant lolbertarians and conservatives tell me I need to "wake up." I love it when other leftists tell me I'm a monster and a "red fascist." I love it when I hear that my ideals "work only in theory" or, better yet, "on paper." I love hearing about how human nature "disproves" communism. And I love knowing that not a damn word of any of that makes a difference.

I'm an edgy teenager.
To simply fuck the living hell off right wingers, who really cannot accept our existence. So much so, that they resort to really stupid arguments and astounding idiotic slurs.
Profit is essentially theft of labor and life, and labor unhinged from profit-based capitalism can provide so much good for humanity.
Ha. All of this.
From now on when someone brings up the question 'why should they be a communist?' I'm going to say, 'For free pot!!!!! And freedom and shit.' Ha.
Left communism is to the revolution as The Westboro Baptist Church is to Christianity.
Why did Marx want socialism? Why did the Russian people want socialism? Why did the French communards want socialism?
Why does ANYONE want socialism?
Because I want FREEDOM, that's why. I want the freedom to live as I please, to speak as I please, to love as I please, to labor as I please, and to be able to enjoy the fruits of that labor as I please. Without bosses, without rulers, without parasites, without war mongers, without oppressors.
I do not want one more human being sacrificed to the golden calf of profit. I do not want one more child to go hungry. I do not want one more person to be persectued due to who they are. I do not want one more impoverished person in prison. I do not want the freedom and brotherhood of all mankind to be decided at the whim of a cabal of plutocrats and murderers.
I want socialism, because I want A BETTER FUTURE.
Because communism has the sexiest theorists

Socialism resides entirely in the revolutionary negation of the capitalist ENTERPRISE, not in granting the enterprise to the factory workers.

I want people to be happy. I'm sick of all this stress and pain in the world. People hungry while food rots in storage. People without basic education, without health care. All these people living paycheck to paycheck. All the stress. People living in fear. People without freedom to do what they choose. I'm sick of the oppression. Or to sum it up, I'm sick of capitalism. The world needs communism. It needs it now.
Because I'm sick of Fox News spewing lies and I want the people of world to better understand each other and live in harmony without the intervention of large corporations and corrupt politicians. In a nutshell, capitalism is the root cause of all the pain and suffering across the world

It treats everyone fairly and has some pretty badass theory IMO. Also, it'd mean easier access to important resources since I want to be a research scientist (herpetologist specifically).

So I can actually live in a soicety which gives me the means to achieve what I want, which is ironically an argument in favour of capitalism. I'm a 19 year old college student and the government no longer pays financial support to students. We used to get EMA which was £30 a week then it went down to £20 a week and now it's nothing. Now I have to spend a lot of my time working as a barman so that my mum doesn't have to struggle to feed me and my sister. That time could be used for me studying and actually improving myself but instead it's devoted to pulling pints all day and getting moaned at by the rich people who go to the racecourse.
If capitalism is about self improvment and achieving your aspirations then I certainly don't see any evidence of that when it;s stopping me from improving myself and making me dehumanise myself into a machiene.
I'm a firm believer in evoloution and acknowledge that evolotion of humanity as survival of the fitness but now we're past that and it's about ensuring that we enlighten ourselves a lot more and ensure a better life for each end every generation as the world goes on. This will never happen as long as capitalism exists.
