More dangerous than a 1000 rioters,....

Lucy Eldine Gonzalez Parsons (c. 1853 – March 7, 1942) was an American labor organizer, radical socialist and anarchist communist.
She is remembered as a powerful orator.

Parsons entered the radical movement following her marriage to newspaper editor Albert Parsons and moved with him from Texas to Chicago, where she contributed to the newspaper he famously edited – The Alarm.

Following her husband’s 1887 execution in conjunction with the Haymarket Affair, Parsons remained a leading American radical activist as a founder of the Industrial Workers of the World and member of other political organizations.

Yep, I've seen that.

The beginning is here.

Hey FBA...Do you think that Communism comes along with 'more' independence and freedom to the people?

Any one I have ever met who has lived under Communist rule, sought to 'escape' it...They sought to escape rationing of goods, 'forced' sharing of living space, lines and 'waiting lists' for simple purchases of cars, television sets etc. , 'forced' directed futures with regard to working/trade opportunity...and a host of other oppressive lifestyle 'control' by a mere handful of 'Party Elites'

I never asked of you before, so I'm interested 'why' you choose/claim to be a Communist? Or did I just 'misread' something within your 'sometimes' vague style of writing?

You tell me.

You see anything like what these two authors describe?

Ussr, socialust, it's right in their name.
Socialism sucks, it's authoritarian.

Communism is just how non-oppressive societies work.

@earthcustodians may have some less insurrectionary viewpoints, but still draw the same conclusions.

Keep working, stop paying.

You tell me.

Ahhhhh...A 'question' to a 'question'...

You see anything like what these two authors describe?

It is 'not' what 'I' see...it is what 'others' have seen and experienced under so-called Communist rule that the question to you stemmed from. People I've known who fled, not only, the USSR but other Countries as well like Cuba, China and North Korea who 'claim' to be a 'form' of Communism (looking more like Socialism) but, subversion and 'hi-jacking 'always seem to be the case.

I don't consider myself a member, nor do I endorse 'any' type of government or society which structurally oppresses the masses, and fails to 'protect' the innocents...the lambs...the weak...

Most advocates of any Marxist based societies I've questioned...'ALWAYS' state 'defensively' that present and past societies that adopted Marxist based principles, "didn't fully, or properly institute the change" as reason for the oppression, unhappiness and pain.

Ask them if it was called communism, or socialism?
I bet they know the difference, unlike the normy 'murican.

It is #fakeducation to equate communism and socialism.
Marx hijacked the terms, broke up the 1st international union of working men, and was backed by the banksters with all the press they owned.
If you like, i can link you the free, online history books in downloadable formats.

Communism is either voluntarily adopted, or it doesn't happen.
If you read Berkman's book this would be clear to you.

In order to poison cooperative living they had to demonize it in no uncertain terms.
They've done a remarkable, if fraudulent, good job.

Until i read the old anarchists, and learned concepts purposely omitted from my #fakeducation, i had no clue, either.

This is where you got to choose.
Red pill, or blue?

Comfortable slavery, or freedom?
