Like it says do you trust with making the right decisions for us?
Do you think that they are to out of touch with common people?
Are they to powerful?
Is a communistic type of gov. inevitable?

Communist Government is an oxymoron. Communism, in theory, is an anarchist theory.

And yes, the government is too powerful and must be abolished.

I would debate that communism is an anarchist theory. Is equality for all truly anarchy? I would say it's a utopian theory which, due to human nature, will never be truly realized.

There is no debate. Marx called for a classless, stateless society.

I agree, but that doesn't mean it's not an anarchist theory because it's utopian.

Communisim reminds me very much of how religion is exposed to work in a way, we all work together and share everything. Government believes it knows what is best for all of us, though it rarley does. I believe the less power a government has to a point the better, though I also think we need rid of small governments (city government, too micromanaging).
Government has the right amount of power when the people complain it doesn't do anything and too much when the people aren't willing to say anything about the government.

It's not hard to play Marx.

Find all problems that are linked to government. Explain that without government, these problems wouldn't exist. Ignore every problem your theory creates and pretend that other problems are non existant. Gold. Now you created a &quoterfect" society! It makes perfect sense if you don't really think about it.

In some ways, the government does know what is best for us. In other ways, it doesn't.

though I also think we need rid of small governments (city government, too micromanaging).


I actually beleive in the opposite. I would rather each state in America have different laws and systems rather than the whole country sharing the same one. This way, if you aren't happy with the way your state does things, you can go to a different state and live.

Communism and Marxism have drifted apart as time has went by.
