Who is really the father of communism?

Asked Aug 14, 2009, 07:32 PM — 13 Answers
I've searched on Google and most of them say Karl Heinrich Marx was the father of Communism. He wrote a book on what Communism is and how it's done.

But I've also seen considerable websites that says Lenin was the father of communism. Who was really?

They're focused on it because it allows the state to take total control of the people. It's a great way to brainwash the masses and it's worked time and time again.

Communism is unrealistic and inherently violent. It's supposed to begin with a revolution of the proletariat, they instantiate a temporary government and begin to mold the new society and such, and eventually the state fades away leaving a self-sustaining anarchy. Well, in the real world, temporary can mean centuries.

Communism, the idea itself, never sat well with me because it "scorns" religion. According to Marx, the only plausible way that a Communist society can operate effectively is to eliminate belief systems to bring everyone on the same page, but then there's really no point to life.

The closest thing to reality while still hanging in left field is democratic Socialism.

To all of you, go take a gander at the Amish.
In reality, that is a small form of Communism, WITH religion.

Sure, they have no electricity, but they also have no money, no bills, no debts, no crime, no gangs, no disrespectful teenagers or CHAT SPEAK (), no need for neighboorhood watch, no...
In short, a small peacful community.

In my opinion, I think that it really does depend on how "Communism" is defined. I view it as a form of socialism that can really work, and work well.

I've also known a number of peace activists who have lived in communes with many others. They may have purchased the land that they owned; had it loaned to them for their use; or outright given to them to use in exchange for taking care of something, in some way or ways, having to do with the land they used. Many of them ascribed to different types of religion.

They lived in peace and harmony...

Thanks!
