Crystal Kan- Communist Manifesto

Marx's Communist Manifesto is a logical and well thought out solution to the oppression in our society. However, this can only happen in a perfect world where greed does not exist. It has already been tried in countries like Russia and China, but the problem is that instead creating a new equal society, it ends up repeating history. The few dissenting oppressors take advantage of the proletarians' misery and seize a majority of the power over the country.

I think what is strange about this whole article is the idea to abolish private property. This is probably because the idea of materialistic goods has been so ingrained into our brains that we cannot imagine a world without it. By sharing everything, that means all goods have to be equally made, which would mean destroying all individuality in objects. After all, we, as humans, love giving personal qualities to everything from playing with dolls to naming your car. So once your private property is removed, your ability to call something your own has vanished. That, is possibly the scariest part of Communism that cannot be fathomed in a Capitalist society.
