“The success of Communism naturally depends on altering human nature because few things are more inherent in human nature than the ownership of property. This basic human right is as ancient as the ten commandments where God ordained that 'Thou Shall Not Steal'.

But Marx & Engels weren't about to admit the right to private property that we find even in the bible.”
