death is certain, life is not.

È ragionevole chiunque lo capisce. È facile.
Non sei uno sfruttatore, lo puoi intendere.
Va bene per te, informatene.
Gli idioti lo chiamano idiota e, i suicidi, suicidio.
È contro il sudiciume e contro l’idiozia.
Gli sfruttatori lo chiamano delitto.
Ma noi sappiamo: è la fine dei delitti.
Non è una follia, ma invece fine della follia.
Non è il caos, ma l’ordine, invece.
Non è il problema, ma la soluzione.
È la semplicità che è difficile a farsi.

It’s sensible, anyone can understand it. It’s easy.
You’re not an exploiter, so you can grasp it.
It’s a good thing for you, find out more about it.
The stupid call it stupid and the squalid call it squalid.
It’s against squalor and against stupidity.
The exploiters call it a crime but we know: It is the end of crime
It is not madness, but the end of madness.
It is not the riddle but the solution
It is the simplest thing so hard to achieve.

Pero nosotros lo sabemos: es el fin de los crímenes.

No es el enigma, sino la solución.
Es lo sencillo que resulta difícil de realizar.

Er ist vernünftig, jeder versteht ihn. Er ist leicht.
Du bist doch kein Ausbeuter, du kannst ihn begreifen.
Er ist gut für dich, erkundige dich nach ihm.

Er ist gegen den Schmutz und gegen die Dummheit.
Die Ausbeuter nennen ihn ein Verbrechen.
Aber wir wissen: er ist das Ende der Verbrechen.
Er ist keine Tollheit, sondern das Ende der Tollheit.

Communism is a free-thinking, stateless, moneyless, religionless, classless society. It promotes equality for all, and no opression by any government. Basically John Lennon’s world from Imagine, where the world will live as one.

So why do we run around like chickens with our heads cut off yelling “COMMIES” and involving ourselves in wars against this non-existent society?

Before World War II, intellectuals thought communism and socialism was a good thing. But when the wealthy realized this meant an even distribution of goods, they weren’t happy. Capitalists wanted to keep their wealth and power.

Also, Joseph Stalin’s brutality in the USSR was a factor. Millions of people were killed in the Soviet Union to consolidate power. There is no 1 concluding policy that can be agreed on as to what Stalin truly was. Some people claim socialist, others claim dictator, state capitalist, or totalitarianism. Because of this wide “he was a socialist” view, people started associating “evil murderer” to “socialism” The U.S. politicians started using this “stop all communist rule, just look at what socialist/communist Stalin did” to solidify their backing while running for high positions. Capitalists twisted this into fear of “communism” to keep their foot on their money.

Those damn commies.
