"Abolition of the family! Even the most radical flare up at this infamous proposal of the Communists." - Carl Marx

Is it any wonder most Conservatives believe that Liberals are hostile to the traditional family?

This quote was taken directly from the Communist Manifesto by Carl Marx. His rambling work that is the bible of Communism and today's neo-Marxist we call Progressives.

I thought about adding a paragraph or two from the Communist Manifesto that may help to clarify what Marx meant by this statement just to make it clear. But like I said, Marx's rambling manifesto is difficult to follow. The Communist Manifesto reads like the musings of a bitter man who hates the society that he lives in, and blames it all on property ownership. But just in case you want to know, below are are the preceding and following paragraphs the Communist Manifesto.

"But don't wrangle with us so long as you apply, to our intended abolition of bourgeois property, the standard of your bourgeois notions of freedom, culture, law, etc. Your very ideas are but the outgrowth of the conditions of your bourgeois production and bourgeois property, just as your jurisprudence is but the will of your class made into a law for all, a will whose essential character and direction are determined by the economical conditions of existence of your class.

The selfish misconception that induces you to transform into eternal laws of nature and of reason the social forms stringing from your present mode of production and form of property -- historical relations that rise and disappear in the progress of production -- this misconception you share with every ruling class that has preceded you. What you see clearly in the case of ancient property, what you admit in the case of feudal property, you are of course forbidden to admit in the case of your own bourgeois form of property.

Abolition of the family! Even the most radical flare up at this infamous proposal of the Communists.

On what foundation is the present family, the bourgeois family, based? On capital, on private gain. In its completely developed form, this family exists only among the bourgeoisie. But this state of things finds its complement in the practical absence of the family among proletarians, and in public prostitution.

The bourgeois family will vanish as a matter of course when its complement vanishes, and both will vanish with the vanishing of capital.

Do you charge us with wanting to stop the exploitation of children by their parents? To this crime we plead guilty."

    The irony of your statement is that the ideas that the Communist hold so dear are no more valid than the ones they work so hard to disparage.  What is Communism but a form of class warfare where the leaders of the struggle become the ruling elite of their workers paradise.

    History has shown time and time again that it is not the working class that benefits from a communist revolution but the leaders who form a new elite class of rulers.  In each case the workers lose the ability to choose their own destiny as the elite rulers create ever more rules, more police, more spies to enforce their idea of a perfect society upon the unwilling.

    Why is it that communist countries have to spend so much time, manpower, and treasure in order to keep their populations in line?

    Is there a point?  Just because you are not a communist does not mean that you don't care about people.  It doesn't mean that you want to exploit people.  It just means that you believe that it is better rely on yourself rather than a faceless bureaucrat thousands of miles away.

    The history of communism has been a history of murder, failure and increased misery for all.  It is impossible for one person to fully understand all of the dynamics in the economy and the affects that government regulations have on them.  And since politician will never admit a mistake or voluntarily reverse their bad decisions, the free market is still a superior model for promoting the common good.

    "Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it." - Thomas Sowell

    Is it not selfish for a person who is capable of working and taking care of themselves; to rely and even demand that others work in order to provide them with a living?  Is it not selfish for people to engage in self destructive habits and then demand that others take care of them.

    The most narcissistic and self involved person that I have ever met was  a Swedish man who was an avowed socialist..  Studies have shown that people who strongly associate themselves with the Liberal Progressive movement tend to be arrogant and narcissistic.  One only has to look around at how narcissistic society has become.  And it is not too hard to link these changes in attitude to the Hippie movement of the '60s.

    The socialist movement has never removed the upper class from society.  What it does is to destroy the wealth of the innovators, risk takers, and entrepreneurs.  Socialism then transfer that wealth to a ruling party of bureaucrats and government officials.  Much like the Feudal society that Carl Marx so fondly reminisced about.
