“Communism... is the genuine resolution of the antagonism between man and nature and between man and man; it is the true resolution of the conflict between existence and essence, objectification and self-affirmation, freedom and necessity, individual and species. It is the riddle of history solved and knows itself as the solution.” KnowsMenSelfIndividualExistenceConflictSolutionsEssenceSpeciesGenuineCommunismResolutionAffirmationRiddleAntagonismObjectificationMan And NatureSelf Affirmation Book:Marx: Selected Writings Source: Marx: Selected Writings
“Christianity has held back any further advances in human consciousness for the past thousand years. And for the past century it's been in direct conflict with its illegitimate offspring, Communism (again with a capital C). Both ask the individual to sacrifice his self-interest to the higher goals of the organization. (Which is okay by me as long as it's voluntary; but as soon as either becomes too big - and takes on that damned capital C - they stop asking for cooperation and start demanding it.) Any higher states of human enlightenment have been sacrificed between these two monoliths.” YearsHumansLongHas BeensTwoSelfStatesBigsPastAsksIndividualGoalInterestConsciousnessChristianitySacrificeCenturyHigherThousandConflictEnlightenmentDirectOkayOrganizationAskingCommunismCooperationThousand YearsSelf InterestOffspringHuman ConsciousnessHigher Goals Author:David Gerrold
“Our Bill of Rights, the most precious part of our legal heritage, is under subtle and pervasive attacks...

“And there was a deeper, less visible effect of the Truman loyalty program. Seeing its consequences for certain individuals and fearing its intrusion on their own lives, many in the government sought protection by strongly asserting their anti-Communism. In the public action that ensued, policy was based not on reality but, instinctively or deliberately, on personal caution...Those who urged a militant and sometimes military anti-Communism were considered sound, trustworthy and personally safe; those who questioned such a course were politically unsafe, possible even slightly disloyal.” SometimesRealityGovernmentActionCertainCoursesIndividualSoundSeeingEffectsMilitaryPolicySafeConsequenceProgramDeeperProtectionLoyaltyCommunismVisibleCautionTrustworthyMilitantIntrusionUnsafeTrumanDisloyalAnti Communism Author:John Kenneth Galbraith
“Communism is a monopolistic system, economically and politically. The system suppresses individual initiative, and the 21st century is all about individualism and freedom. The development of technology supported these directions.” IndividualTechnologyCenturyDevelopmentCommunismIndividualismInitiative21st CenturyDevelopment Of Technology Author:Lech Walesa
“The two greatest enemies of the individual in the modern world are communism and psychiatry. Each wages a relentless war against that which makes a person an individual: communism against the ownership of property, psychiatry against the ownership of the self (mind and body). Communists criminalize the autonomous use of capital and labor, and harshly punish those who "traffic" in the black market, especially in foreign currencies. Psychiatrists criminalize the autonomous use of the self, and harshly punish those who "traffic" in self-abuse, especially in self-medication and self-destruction.” WorldMindPersonsTwoWarSelfUseBodyIndividualBlackEnemyModernLaborDestructionAbusePropertyCommunismCommunistCurrencyOwnershipTrafficWagesModern WorldPsychiatryMind And BodyRelentlessPsychiatristMedicationSelf DestructionAutonomous Book:The Untamed Tongue: A Dissenting Dictionary Source: The Untamed Tongue: A Dissenting Dictionary
