... not to be a Communist is not only denial, but also a certain credo.
I personally like this question brought some relief: after all, there was required of me to argue against communism, and to justify ourselves due to the fact that I was not a Communist and can't be him. I would be much easier if I were. I have lived in the belief that most actively participate in repairing the world; I would be confident that I stand on the side of the poor against the rich, on the side of hungry money against aces, I would know exactly what and for what reason we have to think, what to hate and what to despise. Instead, I feel exactly naked in the bramble with empty hands, not covered by any doctrine, I feel myself powerless to come to the aid of the world and often do not even know how to keep clean their own conscience. If my heart is on the side of the poor, why the hell didn't I become a Communist?
Just because I'm on the side of the poor. I've seen the need for such immense that everyone around me disgusted. Wherever I was, I fled from palaces and peered into the lives of the poor, tormented humiliating role of a helpless spectator. It is not enough to look at this need, and to sympathize with her, it would be necessary to live their life, but I'm too afraid of death. This pediculosis human need does not raise the shield of neither party; in these horrible dens, where there is no nail to hang or dirty rags for bedding, communism is drawn from safe given: in all, they say, is guilty of social order; two years later, twenty years later, unfurled the banner of revolution, and then...
How is it that two years later, twenty years later? Are you able calmly to accept the fact that you can exist for two winter months, two weeks, two days? The bourgeoisie, which then can't or won't help, foreign to me; but it is also alien to me, and communism, instead of offering aid the banner of the revolution. The goal of communism is to rule, not to save, and his banner is written the slogan of the government, not aid. Poverty, unemployment, and hunger for communism, it is not a shame and unbearable pain, and repository of dark forces emanating from the depths of anger and fury. "To blame a social system". No, the fault lies on all of us, still if we look at human suffering with his hands in pockets or clasped to the sky, the banner of revolution.
The poor is not a class, it's just people declassed, unsettled and disorganized; they will never approach the throne, whoever sat on it. Hungry do not want to dominate, and be satisfied.
