Editorial:
Utopianism Not Communism
By Housewife4Palestine
George Galloway brings up in his second video about Fidel Castro, while I only have little information in regards to Mr. Castro; I do know he considers his country the dictates of Communism.
In thinking of Communism that was in Russia at one time, I have never seen Communism in my opinion to be a good working Political structure in its present form. I will admit I have read Carl Marx’s book for understanding where Communism may have came from and in its present form it was to be an ideology of a type of Utopian society that frankly to me is not a Utopian society in its practical form.
A Utopian society has equality for all mankind without repression of people under its political structure nor does it have people standing in lines like what was going on in Russia for commodities. Nor would anyone being visiting a camp in Siberia, for example.
A true Utopian society, people want for nothing everyone has equal shares of everything and as for a dictator government there’d be none because it would be a true political structure by and for the people.
In history there are two society groups that did have what is deemed to be a Utopian society:
1) The Cherokee Nation before European Conquest.
2) The Ummah of Islam.
What I find ironic though is some authoritarians on Utopian societies consider this form of society to be too optimistic and idealistic for practical application.
And as I mentioned with the two examples above the concept did work but as many know with history; outside influence destroyed or caused radical change of these societies, usually invasions with created wars.
I have to admit I do not follow Communism in its present form, but I do believe in Utopianism because I do believe in equality for the masses, because no one should ever go hungry nor not be without a roof over their head’s and suffer unhappiness.
One major thing that I do find so heart breaking today is some government’s causing fear within their countries due to the mistakes the government has made. Then you have people suffering high prices on good’s that shouldn’t be happening especially for common necessities deemed for common survival.
The world is getting like a big boiling pot that you put in one color after another to try to make the right element or color come about and what are you ending up with, the color black.
To sum up if I am a Communist, the answer is no.

Great article! And I completly agree with you, the bascis of communism or the idea of Utopia must be the best solution for mankind. If everybody is treated equal, and if everybody have the same things we could all be happy and live in peace here on earth. It is the fact that some of us are bathing in luxury while others are dying of somthing so basic as hunger, which is the reason why we fight so much among ourselves. There is something fundamental wrong with the capitalistic system we use today because it so far away from being fear. We need to distibute the good equally among people, then we all would be happy and satisfied. I always belived this and if I tell my opinion to anybody, I am just being accused of being a communist which I don't have to tell you that I am not.
But I would love to live in Eutopia too! Maybe we would be neighbours there, maybe our children would play togehter and I would come over with a cake I just made and we would have a nice chat... I wish...
Thank you and I would put on the coffee. :)
