this was done for fun, so don't expect professionalism.
______________________________
In 1991, the World rejoiced. The Soviet Union slipped on its own massive crap hole and collapsed. The Cold War was over, and nuclear war became a lot more improbable (at least theoretically). Bunkers could be dissembled and you could talk about politics in Russia without having to look over your shoulder. Marx’s dream had failed.
Yet the “evil communism” stigma remained on the minds of many Americans. They had fought the same enemy for so long, with the support and helping hand of so many people, that people simply couldn’t realize that communism did have its good side. In Europe, while Communist parties all-around fell in the polls when the truth about the Soviet Union was unveiled, the atrocities committed for one’s dream of utter equality turned into another’s dream of ultimate power. Like fascism, communism was relegated to small pockets of people resistant to change, viewed by the majority of the populace as nostalgic dreamers.
But the truth is that communism is happening. Not based off the proletariat, as Marx predicted, but off the so-called middle class based off services on wealthy European countries, that is growing to include the vast majority of the citizens. Socialism took the Nordic states to the top of the U.N. chart of Human Development, one of the most reliable indicators for general quality of life, above powers like Japan and the U.S.A. Marx did predict that socialism was a necessary step towards the State-less ideal communism. We’re just taking the long way.
While political independence for minorities is increasingly important, so is economic union. Unfortunately, there is a thin line between two and they are commonly confused. Sceptics fear that the EU and the UN will destroy their hard-earned independence with a few enforced policies. In truth, these institutions only lose more and more power they could use to enforce human rights, peace and increase economical development that would actually benefit more the rich sceptics in the developed countries than the poor indigents that beg for its help.
So the seed for the future world Communist is not being planted by the feared international organizations between powers, it’s being planted by the small wealthy countries were the populace is eager to join up with more of their kin in order to be economically strong, but politically and culturally independent.
Aside from politics, the new generation is also building its own foundation of communism. In the Internet. Bill Gates is now demonised as the leader of a supranational consortium with total monopoly over what you do in our personal PC, and people are fighting back. P2P programs can now massively distribute software with asking only that you share with others what you’ve downloaded. The so-called “open source” software like Bit Torrent, Shareaza and Emule are killing the malware packed competition in P2P, while Firefox is killing the time-stopped Internet Explorer browser.
With the constant mechanization of industry and agriculture, there will be only rare remnants of a lower class. Capitalist equality through the state tax system is perfectly doable, as shown by countries such as Sweden. By overtaxing the rich and undertaxing the poor, Governments can design a perfect basis for not only for communism, but for mankind itself. So, contrary to a few people, there is no need for violent revolution. The bad distribution of wealth is being fought against at all fronts because it is a precursor to instability. Therefore the capitalist State must naturally prepare itself for communism in order to ensure its own continuation.
The Soviet Union was definitely the Evil Empire. As Reagan said it, defended the “superiority of the State over the individual”. And that is undoubtedly against Human nature. But communism isn’t about that. Communism is, as FDR said it so well in his Four Freedoms speech (State of the Union address, 1941), about “freedom from want”. About cooperation and compassion. And we don’t need no Comintern.
