'''Communism''' is a [[left-wing]] anti-democratic and violent ideology dedicated to supposedly overthrow [[Capitalism]], replacing it with a unelected "[[dictatorship of the proletariat]]" by [[technocrat]]s and an [[atheist]] elite.  Under Communism, the [[political]] system replaces  [[private property|private ownership]] of the means of production with a supposed "collective ownership" of the [[economy]], but really maintained for the benefit and profit of a corrupt elite. Capitalism is impossible to overthrow because any business, or "means of production," that costs more to operate than the income it produces, i.e. does not turn a profit, will ultimately fail.

These elites empower [[criminal]] gangsters and hoodlums to keep opposition in check.  Because private ownership is illegal in favor of a [[collective]], prisons are emptied of anyone convicted of a property crime.  This criminal element is the base of the communists' political  power to destroy [[democracy]].  Political opposition is outlawed. Having rejected the culture and habits of the old regime as unjust, many of the worst violent offenders are released from prison to become enforcers for the corrupt ruling elite.<ref>Although the [[Nazi]] regime was not a communist regime, it borrowed much from the [[Bolshevik]]s. The [[Einsatzgruppen]] or mobile death squads were recruited from convicted murderers and mental hospitals.</ref>

In [[Karl Marx]]'s theory, Communism is the final phase of societal evolution that begins with [[Socialism]].  Marxist theory alleges that [[feudalism]] evolved into [[capitalism]], and capitalism evolves into socialism, and eventually the highest order of societal evolution is achieved when socialism evolves into communism.  Marx's ''Communist Manifesto'' proposes the establishment of a "[[classless society]]" when human society reaches this ultimate perfection, minus any resistors or counterrevolutionaries.  Communist societies however do maintain a [[class structure]] with the corrupt elite on top, scientists, technicians, and skilled workers recruited from schools who are afforded special privileges, thugs and mobsters who now become the enforcers and police, and everyone else with no political rights.

Communists distinctly despise anyone who holds a [[moral]] code that [[worship]]s or teaches loyalty to anything other than the [[state]] and [[government]].  [[Religious]] believers particularly are singled out for persecution and "re-education."

Communist societies which have survived into the 21st century, China, Cuba, and North Korea, in fact have reverted to a feudal order of inherited privilege run by the descendants of the original revolutionaries who murdered all opposition and stole the wealth of the rich and powerful of their day. To manage government and society, the party trains and recruits "experts" from government schools who are promised party membership which brings special privileges not afforded to the [[proletariat]].  Students who do not go along with the party agenda are doomed to a life of limited career opportunities, limited career advancement, or poverty. All live in terror, both party members and non-party members, of running afoul of the party's secret police which enforces the party's ever changing, contradictory dictums and agenda.  Communist party's are essentially [[criminal]] organizations built on murder and theft, and maintain their power by murder and theft.

Communism supposedly is "[[democratic]]";<ref>http://www.marxists.org/archive/mandel/1968/11/workersdem.htm</ref>  however a "democratic" election in a communist system has candidates from only one party, nominated by higher-ups in the organization.  A communist system is intolerant of opposing views and outlaws political opposition. The lack of a political opposition leads to a lack of accountability.
