Communism, the society so described by Marx in the passage you have quoated involves the negation of all mediation in the global human community- hence polictics as a separate flied of human activity. When the laws of exchange destory community the gathering together of atomized individuals in an artifical unity is described by polictics, by polictical liberty- that is not the liberty I belive that Marx, or for that matter you, mean when you use the word.The great trinty of liberalism-liberty,equality,fraternity- have all been defintely achieved in capitalist society.Liberty because the buyer and seller do not obey any other rule than their own free will, equallity because everybody iss buyer and seller and gets a value equal to the value of the commodity they are selling, fraternity because each atomized individual is a citizen of the state and a particpant in the economy.It is this liberty, this LIBERALISM that i oppose.TO QUATE ENGELS;"polictical liberty is a farce and the worst possible slavery...So is polictical equality: this is why democracy must be torn to pieces as well as any other form of goverment."-"Progress of social reform on the continient.Please try to understand the content of my statements before you talk of uss as fools or liars...have you read Boridga??? For all his faults he is essential to understand the communist program...
