A Brief History of Equality

Obama is a communist, oh he isn't? Okay then he has to be a Socialist, what do you mean I don't know what I'm talking about. Fox News and the other fair and balanced news programs that I pretend to watch while cleaning my guns that the founding fathers gave me said.

So because of statements like the above I feel that I need to explain Communism, and its bloody evil history.

Karl Marx is the father of communism he believed it to be the final stage in social evolution characterized by finally reaching a classless, stateless, democratically led world community. Sounds like a great idea right? Well on paper it does but thats because it requires every single person on earth to agree to the process when you get just one bad apple that takes a capitalist approach to life they begin to ruin the equality that is communism.

Now I am not saying that we all need to 'grow up' and stop being capitalist because there are faults in communism that are easily solved with a capitalist approach, namely being a lazy son of a female dog. In communism your lazy donkey would be supported and you would get your monthly check just like awesome people like me who would actually earn our currency. In Capitalism your lazy donkey would be dead or at best poor as hell, living off the rats you catch in your house at 3am. What about well-fare? Thats a communist idea.

So now how did Karl Marx plan on bringing his new perfect world order to light? He thought it would be achieved through a workers revolution a democrati republic would be created and a dictatorship of the people would rule. A socialist state would hold power until society was ready for pure communism.

You see even Marx new that people would need to wade into the pool instead of being thrown in all at once, But some of Historys most famous mustached men liked the idea of cannon balling into the pool and getting all the hot girls sunbathing wet (not in a good way)

Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, and Leon Trotsky led a revolution in 1917 russia in the name of communism. 5 years later they formed The Soviet Union (USSR/CCCP) Then after Stalin lost his marbles after Lenin died and killed off Trotsky and a whole bunch of other people and started to spread communism by aiding the great chinese communist Mao Zedong who took control of China with an iron grip and went on to fund other asian communist revolutions like Korea's Kim il Sung, Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh, and Cambodia's Pol Pot.

The sad thing is that all communist states have been brutal dictatorships instead of the democratic paradise that Marx had in mind (mainly because all the communist leaders have been a bit crazy). And because of this they killed off anyone who looked at them strangely or sneezed and used to many kleenex detailed in the graph below.

Communism was rich in symbolism the Hammer and Sickle is the most notable symbol left over from the reign of the USSR. It represented the industrial and agricultural workers. Another notable symbol is the five point star in red or yellow representing the five classes of socialism. the five fingers of a hand or the five continents (yeah some states believed there where only five even though most people agree there are 7) tools such as writing brushes and ompasses are used to symbolise the intellictual class. Gear cogs are also common in party emblems and flags also represent industrial workers. The colour Red symbolizes the blood of the workers and the opposition to oppression. while yellow represents the glory of the people.

The biggest problem with communists is that they cannot agree on how to lead amongst themselves. There are over 15 forms of communism here are just a few.

Marxism: Followed by those who do not believe in oppression and only follow what is directly stated by marx and his partner Engels
Leninism: Combines marxism with the additions made by Lenin and retains the idea of little repression but adds collectivisation and heavy industrialization into the equation.
Stalinism: Uses totalitarian tactics, censership, and surpression to enfore socialism in one nation.
Trotskyism: Focuses on world-wide revolution and strong democratic principals.

Maoism: Focuses heavily on costly social progress and pushed for opposition to capitalism and soviet communism alike.

Stalinists hate Trotskyists and vice versa while Maoists hate Post-Stalin Leninsim. This caused the Sino-Soviet split leading to three conflicts between vietnam, cambodia the USSR and China all three were short but bloody as a torture porn movie.

The reason they were so bloody is due because communists nations put a lot of focus into their militaries. Between 1980 and 1986 the USSR spent 17% of its GDP (some estimate the actual budget to be two times that) on Military where the United States only spent 5.8% in the same time period. That 17% was around 33 billion U.S. Dollars given that the price to manufacture 1 AK-74 was around 50 U.S. Dollars that translates to the ability to make 660 Million AK-74's and they put all that to use.

The USSR donated and sold large amounts of Kalashnikov Assault Rifles the famed AK-## brand to <takes deep breath> Vietnam, Cambodia, North Korea (DPRK), Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Mongolia, Paistan, India, Laos, Egypt, Israel, Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Albania, Thiland, Mexico, Honduras, Venezuela, Guatemala, and pretty much all of Africa. Ironically even with all of these sales Izhevsk, producer of the AK, is currently Bankrupt.

Currently there are over 17 communist parties in the United States alone. At the Height of communism nearly 28% of the earths land area (Map below) was a communist nation. But currently olny China, Laos, Vietnam, North Korea, and Cuba are still standing communist states.
