Influence your thoughts and feelings

[Ashock]

Just clarifying; are you saying that the motivations behind "communisms": are inherently 'evil'?  Or are you restricting your characterization to the implementation of the Sino/Soviet variants?  I find it hard to believe that the likes of Plato, More, Saint-Simon, Fourier, Engels and Marx were motivated by intentions that can be explicitly characterized as fundamentally 'evil'.

Marx and Engels - evil. Read their works... in detail. Plato - Greece - Democracy. Other three? Don't care. Their works did not lead to a regime that covered 1/2 of the civilized world, and are therefore irrelevant, at least when it comes to discussions of realities of communism.

As far as motivations behind communism? Maybe they're not all evil, but they are all naive.
