Dictionary.com is incorrect. Read Berkman or Marx, and then tell me if that&#39;s true.

Marx and Berkman are biased. Dictionary.com is at least moderate. I might as well read Adolf Hitler&#39;s Mein Kampf&#33;

You&#39;re perfectly right&#33;

If nobody in society works, then where will our food, water, televisions, and computers come from?


However, if Communism ensures I get fed, sheltered, and freedom without me having to work at all, then I&#39;ll be too happy to be a Communist&#33; But I want good food, not dried bread and medieval ale.

Ideas aren&#39;t biased. Marx and Berkman created two different variants of communism, and dictionary.com took public opinion and decided that was what socialism means. This contradicts both Marx and Berkmans ideas on communism.

After all, it&#39;s like asking Pol Pot what "Human Rights" are. You&#39;re not going to get the Geneva convention out of him.

No, Marx is certainly not biased, he is definitive. His works were not simply diatribes, but scientific and economic analysis as well as a political doctrine that was based upon the science.

Have you read Marx properly at all anyway? Not for a definition, but for an understanding?
