Communist Manifesto
I chose to blog about the Manifesto of the Communist Party even though the reading is a little long and kind of tough to comprehend at first. At the same time I wasn't lost when I was reading because I have some prior knowledge on Karl Marx and his Communist Manifesto that he wrote with Friedrich Engels. I personally am totally against the idea of Communism and I am probably saying that because we have all lived in the free land of America for the most part. I am also saying this because I am not a fan of being overly regulated by the Government 24/7. I also believe its fair that everyone can work really hard and earn their way to their goal as appose to keeping everyone similar in society. The theory of communism helps eliminate the fight between economic classes but also gets rid of people having an opportunity to be at the "top". I think that living in a communist based country would be extremely boring simply because everyone would be similar. One of the reasons that America is so great is because we can live free and be the individuals that we want to be.

I agree with CJ. While I can see the benefits of getting rid of social classes, I see communism as more of a burden. I do agree that because we are so used to our freedom that we wouldn't be open to a contolling government, but then why should we want one. Why should anyone want a controlling government like that? That monitors everything and then give you no rewards for your hard work?
ReplyDeleteI agree with you in the fact that without social classes you couldnt make it to the "to". I believe if you work hard at what your doing in this case your job you should be higher up and have more money then someone who sits around and does nothing
