That certainly sounds like a much better form of Communism than the oppressive one. The infringement of Communism rights on people turn the majority of (mainly Socialist, I'd say!) off Communism. Makes them hate.

I for one, believe that there has so far not been any country which has followed true Communism (could this be what you call Marxist Communism?). You have places like China who are Communist, but even they're leaning towards Capitalism, no? I think the harsh, dictator-led style Communism is too idealistic, and not self-sufficient enough to work. In places like DPRK, you have plain suppression of people and their rights, and somehow, I don't think true Communism was intended to do that either.

Time goes by, and even all the small SE asian communist states like Lao PDR and whatnot are leaning towards a more democratic form of Communism; it's good to see. They're now holding elections - albeit, all Communist parties, but still! - and people are not in any way impeded on their rights.

What think you?

Jon Snow is a guy from a book, Fawis! -"a game of thrones". It's really good, read it!
