| Communism has nothing to do with turning people into zombies, its entirely the other way round. For most people to survive in the capitalist system, they and their family work 12+ hours shifts, if they are lucky enough to have a job. 50% of this planet earns per person $1.04 per day. So say a family of six gets that, $6.24 a day. Hmm, now what kind of lifestyle can you live like that? You can't afford the good things in life, like music or literature. You can't afford even reasonable housing, and clean water is out the window. You can't afford those $10 a pill anti-retroviral drugs for your kids aids. Hell, you just scrape enough to have a corrogated iron shack in the shanty town and food not worthy of being called so to keep yourself and your family alive. All of this would end under communism.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
