Someone here called me 'mentally ill' :

Psychology/psychiatry have
become an increasingly powerful component of capitalist ideology, ruling ideas that endorse exploitation and sabotage struggles against oppression. This psychology circulates way beyond colleges and clinics, and different versions of psychology as ideology are now to be found nearly everywhere in capitalist society. The dominant norms and values of the ruling classes are reflected in the psychiatric discourse on human behaviour and the workings of the mind. Consequently, the psy-professions are responsible for facilitating the maximisation of profit for the ruling classes while individualising the social and economic conditions of the workers. The mental health system seeks to normalise the fundamentally oppressive relations of capitalism by focusing on the individual—rather than the society—as the site of change -- the individual is seen as pathological and in need of adjustment through “treatment” options such as drugs, ECT, and therapy. ECT and some of the drugs are brain damaging etc...

Freedom under capitalism is an illusion.

The top 1% are usually gifted with a combination of a superior skillset, mindset and work ethics.
Only a margin of the 1% never put any effort in obtaining that wealth.

Corporatism the actual system in power just makes it incredible hard for new players to establish cause the old players use the power of a ongoing growing Government through Patent laws, subsidies, financial markets and lobbyism.

These are all unfair involvements in the free market by the government.

The real tyranny here is the amount of taxes we gotta pay for a natural unefficent and ongoing growing government. Being mostly independent from the Government and earn your own money with freedom of contracts and property is the opposite of slavedom.

So, I can attend Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard or Yale for free and not be excluded for 'class reasons' ?

While personal and individual freedom in the marketplace is guaranteed, each individual is held responsible and accountable for his or her own actions and well-being Individual success or failure are interpreted in terms of entrepreneurial virtues or personal failings (such as not investing signficantly enough in one’s own human capital through education) rather than being attributed to any systemic property (such as the class exclusions usually attributed to capitalism).

For instance, my father and mother are not rich alumni from Harvard etc...and I did not receive a private school elite level education preparing me for those schools .

There are free MIT course materials online MOOC MIT Opencourseware but I can't physically attend MIT and get a diploma even if I master the material because of capitalist class exclusions.

So , I can have the mindset and the skillset but not be recognized for it with a diploma and in capitalist places such as America employers demand official diplomas.

Here in the very purpose of communism there is a double interpretation. For Russians, communism is a supra-clan communality, and for Marx it is clan one (without specifying whose clan).

So, without a clear interpretation of foreign words, we can go wrong again. Look at what the replacement of the word "narodovlastie" by "democracy" in the constitution has led to.

As for Marx, he was far from the first to talk about communism, and not the last. Everything flows, everything changes, and "communism", as a certain term or concept, is constantly being modified, expanded and interpreted. I think that there is not and cannot be any "only correct" definition of the concept of communism. Of course, everyone, to the extent of their ability and/or depravity, understands it in their own way, but within the framework of some paradigm.

For me (in general terms) communism is a person's idea of justice, which is not sent down to him as a gift from God (unlike religion), but which he can realize himself, developing internally, becoming better.

Idealistic, in general, but if we do not talk about classes, about property and other "material" things, then it is quite suitable - after all, people are looking for their ideals of life in different things. Why not communism?

"The goal of Marxism is the eternal class struggle outside Britain" - at least that's how it was originally.
