I have always believed that any arguments against Communism are simply ignorant, and I thank everybody who has attempted to use reason and facts to educate the ignorant. I myself am an Anarchist (not in the common connotation of the word, but in the original meaning of one who wishes to skip socialism in the societal evolution from capitalism to communism). I have read the Communist Manifesto several times over, and I wholeheartedly agree with it. Nowhere in that document are any words urging the death of millions, the suppression of rights, or anything else. Marx and Engels were idealists above all else, and though the Communist system may not be able to exist in a community of humans, I think that anyone who is properly educated on the subject has to agree that it is in the best interest of humanity, and completely fair to all races.
I am by no means making any attacks on you, Magna, since you obviously understand socialism and have admitted that capitalism is better suited to your own personal philosophy, just as communism suits mine.
EDIT: Also, Magna, I will have to reread that part, but I believe that Marx in fact called for a complete abolition of the family system.

I believe you are correct, which serves to illustrate my point that some societies would fare very poorly under socialism, as some things are so ingrained into their culture that it would come into direct conflict with some of the base principals of a socialist system. And thank you also for stating that most of what has been thrown around here are mere opinions, not solid objective reason. If we were all capable of such clear judgement, then we would be the ones MAKING all of the decisions politic instead of merely debating over what others have done and/or attempted to do. #nosmileys
