It is a {{I|Immoralism}} [[Immoralism|vile specter]], its systematic methods include both violent struggle, revolution and killings as seen in the East and revolting degeneration, infiltration and subversion as seen the West. It seeks to destroy all traditional {{i|Moralism}} [[Moralism|morality]], {{i|Virtue Ethics}} [[Virtue Ethics|virtue]], {{i|Culture}} [[Culture|culture]], {{i|Tradition}} [[Traditionalism|lifestyle]], {{i|Artist}} [[art]], {{i|Music}} [[music]], {{i|Literature}} [[literature]], {{i|Propertarianism}} [[Propertarianism|property]], {{i|NucFam}} [[Nuclear Family Model|family]], {{i|Theism}} [[Theism|faith]], and all other aspects of life, for it hates the good and righteous. It wants to struggle against, subvert, and destroy the good society which Heaven wills, turning man against their Creator, replacing them with hideous and ugly forms absent from the Divine. It propagates the false and dangerous belief that sin is not caused by the degeneration of morality, but by social oppression.


Communism breeds {{i|War}} [[war]], famine, {{i|Genocide}} [[Genocide|slaughter]], and {{i|Tyranny}} [[tyranny]] (especially on his own people), which in themselves are terrifying enough. But, the damage dealt by communism goes far beyond this. It is most systematic, comprehensive, and uniquely evil force ever unleashed upon humanity. Other ideologies have produced atrocities. Only communism has made the {{i|AnTot}} [[Anarcho-Totalitarianism|destruction of civilization]] itself—the {{i|CultMarx}} [[Cultural Marxism|tearing down]] of every tradition, every faith, every institution, every anchor of the sacred that the divine deposited in the soul of humanity—its central and explicit program. It has become increasingly clear that, unlike any other system in {{i|History}} [[history]], communism declares war on humanity itself, including human values and human dignity. Communism turns the world into its church, bringing all aspects of social life under its purview. It occupies people's thoughts, causing them to revolt against the divine and discard tradition. It is the biggest and main perpetrator of normalizing degeneracy. This is how the devil leads man to his own destruction.
Communism has two main schools: Eastern "{{I|Aggression}} [[Aggressionism|violent]] {{I|Butcher}}" communism such as {{I|Leninism}} [[Leninism]], {{I|MarxLenin}} [[Marxism-Leninism]], {{I|Maoism}} [[Maoism]], {{I|Deng}} [[Dengism]], {{I|Khmer Rouge}} [[Pol Potism]], {{I|CommieCuba}} [[Castroism]], {{i|HoChiMinh}} [[Hồ Chí Minh Thought]], {{I|WPK}} [[Juche]], {{I|Hoxhaism}} [[Hoxhaism]], {{I|Ben Bella}} [[Ben Bellaism]], and the like, representing governments who have {{I|StateSoc}} [[State Socialism|fully accepted Communism]], and Western "{{I|Pacifism}} [[Pacifism|nonviolent]] {{I|Libertinism}}" communism such as {{I|Bernstein}} [[Bernsteinism]], {{i|Gramsci}} [[Gramscianism]], {{I|CultMarx}} [[Cultural Marxism]], {{I|Frankfurt School}} [[Frankfurt School|Critical Theory]], {{I|NeoMarx}} [[Neo-Marxism]], {{i|DemSoc}} [[Democratic Socialism]], {{I|SocDem}} [[Social Democracy]], {{I|Eurocom}} [[Eurocommunism]], {{I|Counterculture}} [[Counterculture]], {{I|SexLib}} [[Sexual Liberation]], {{I|Avant-Garde}} [[Avant-Garde]], {{I|Intersectionality}} [[Intersectionality]], contemporary forms of {{I|ModernEnvi}} [[Contemporary Environmentalism|environmentalism]], {{I|FemP}} [[Contemporary Feminism|feminism]], {{I|ModernLeft}} [[Western New Left|liberalism/progressivism]], "{{I|SJW}} [[Social Justice Warriors|political correctness]]", and the like, representing communist infiltration and subversion in non-communist countries. Both variants seek the destruction of moral values in all spheres of society, deriving their primary methods by the application of different aspects of {{I|Marxism}} [[Marxism]] (and its stepping stone, {{i|Socialism}} [[socialism]]). In the East, it is through campaigns of mass violence against the Divine, in the West it is through the promotion of degenerate culture against the Divine.
 
Communism is the biggest, most systematic, unnatural enemy to all of human civilization.


For what is a specter? It is a cold, unnatural, restless thing. It does not belong to the world of the living. It has no warmth, no flesh, no true love of life. It haunts; it does not inhabit. It corrupts; it does not create. It consumes the living, hollows them out, and leaves nothing standing but the shell of what once was. This is the most accurate description communism has ever received, and it came straight from Communism's own {{i|MarxC}} [[Karl Marx Thought|founder]].
==History==
==History==
The ideas of Communism could be traced to come from various {{I|Atheism}} [[Atheism|atheist]] and {{I|Utopianism}} [[Utopianism|utopian]] philosophies from the {{I|Enlightenment}} [[Enlightenment]] in the 17th and 18th century. It was rooted in the radical {{I|Jacobinism}} [[Jacobinism|Jacobinists]]' French Revolution and Reign of Terror. Communism in its modern sense was first termed by {{i|DHupay}} [[D'Hupayism|Victor D'Hupay]] in his book ''Projet de communauté philosophe'' published in 1777. But, communism proper isn't to form until a certain man with a large beard came along.
The Specter of Communism has been working for centuries to {{I|Immoralism}} [[Immoralism|corrupt]] and destroy {{I|HomoSapiens}} [[Humankind|humanity]]. It began by crippling man spiritually, divorcing him from his {{I|TheDivine}} [[Holy Beings|Divine]] origins. From here, the specter has has led the peoples of the world to cast out their millennia-old {{I|Tradition}} [[Traditionalism|cultural traditions]] that the Divine had meticulously arranged as the {{I|Moralism}} [[Moralism|proper]] [[Virtue Ethics|standards]] {{I|Virtue Ethics}} for human existence. Bereft of its ancient heritage, the whole of human society is breaking down at un unprecedented pace. Meanwhile, the Specter's agents have exploited this societal havoc to push their nefarous agendas, masking them as "liberation" or "progress". Over the past two hundred years or more, the Specter's influence has overtaken {{I|Social}} [[Society|social affairs]] and {{I|History}} [[History|historical development]]. Its demonic influence rakes myriad and seemingly contradictory forms, from the overt brutality of communist rule found in the East to the piecemeal subversion found in the West.
 
===Marx, Engels and early Communism===
Communism was officially formulated by {{i|MarxC}} [[Karl Marx Thought|Karl Marx]] and {{i|Engels}} [[Engelsism|Friedrich Engels]] in 1848 through their release of the ''Communist Manifesto''. Marx hated {{i|8ball}} [[Africans|blacks]] and {{i|Jew}} [[Jews]], and was at least a {{i|SecSatan}} [[Secular Satanism|Secular Satanist]] if not a {{i|Satan}} [[Satanism|real Satanist]] for his poems that praise Satan and his maid observing him preforming strange rituals.
 
During Marx's time, European society changed rapidly through mass {{i|Industrialism}} [[Industrialism]]. It threw the continent into upheaval as people scrambled to adapt to the new reality amid technological shifts. Many could not keep up, leading to the polarization of haves and have-nots, economic crises, and the like. At the same time, as technology made it possible to transform the natural world on a large scale, humanity's arrogance grew. All this created ripe conditions for spreading Marx's views. He and others established the {{I|Commie}} [[International Workingmen's Association]] (First International) in 1864, with Marx as the spiritual leader. Anyone who disagreed with Marx was banished.
 
Marx believed revolution was inevitable, and the workers (AKA "have-nots") of the {{i|Earth}} [[Earth|world]] would rise up, destroy {{i|Capitalism}} [[Capitalism]] create a communist {{i|Utopianism}} [[Utopianism|utopia]] for themselves. To Marx and the communists, {{i|Prog}} [[Progressivism|progress]] means the oppressed overthrowing the oppressors.


===Paris Commune & Communist International===
Communism in its modern sense was first termed by {{i|DHupay}} [[D'Hupayism|Victor D'Hupay]] in his book ''Projet de communauté philosophe'' published in 1777. But the Specter chose {{I|MarxC}} [[Karl Marx Thought|Karl Marx]] as its convoy among men. Marx, once a devout {{I|Christi}} [[Christianity|Christian]], turned to {{I|Satan}} [[Satanism|Satan]] instead, expressing his anger at the Divine in various demonic poems. In order to spread {{I|Marxism}} [[Marxism]], it laid down various foundations.
The first communist "government" would not materialize until 1871. The {{i|ParisCom}} [[Paris Commune]] was formed after a humiliating defeat {{I|French3}} [[French Third Republic|France]] took from {{I|Prussia}} [[Prussia]] a year earlier. The Paris Commune began rebellions in March, and seized power over {{i|Paris}} [[Paris]] while burning the precious city all down. The Commune consisted of armed {{I|Left-Ochlocracy}} [[Left-Ochlocracy|mobs]] and {{I|Illegalism}} [[Illegalism|bandits]] from the lowest rung of society. A quarter of Paris was destroyed. Killing and destruction was on a mass scare as the rebels laid waste to countless exquisite relics, monuments and art.


The Commune lasted until until May when it was finally put down by the French military. On the 23rd, the Commune started fires that burned down countless important buildings so they won't fall into the hands of the French government. {{I|MarxC}} [[Karl Marx Thought|Marx]] thought positively about this, and quickly adjusted {{I|Marxism}} [[Marxism|his theory]], now stating the working class should completely destroy the state mechanism, rather than simply overtaking it.
{{Quote|Who'er thou art who passet, pray<br>Don't grieve that I am dead;<br>For had I been alive this day,<br>Thoud'st been here in my stead!|Posthumous epitaph for {{I|Robespierrism}} [[Robespierrism|Maximilien Robespierre]]}}


After Marx’s death in 1883, {{i|Engels}} [[Engelsism|Engels]] became the chief expositor of Marxist theory, which he simplified and in several respects transformed, making {{I|Marxism}} [[Marxism]] more rigid and {{I|Determinism}} [[Determinism|deterministic]] than he had intended.
During the 1793-1794 {{I|StateTerror}} [[State Terrorism|Reign of Terror]], the radical {{I|Jacobinism}} [[Jacobinism|revolutionaries]] established the {{I|StateAtheism}} [[Cult of Reason]], making the masses worship an actress dressed as the Goddess of Reason, ridding {{I|Paris}} [[Paris]] of {{I|Catholicism}} [[Catholicism|traditional faith]] and implementing {{I|AntiTheism}} [[Anti-Theism|anti-religous]] terror. {{I|Babouvism}} [[Babouvism|François-Noël Babeuf]], an {{i|UtSoc}} [[Utopian Socialism|utopian socialist]] who advocated to abolish {{I|Propertarianism}} [[Propertarianism|private property]], was considered by Marx to be the first {{I|RevSoc}} [[Revolutionary Socialism|revolutionary communist]]. The French Revolution was closely connected to the development of Marxism. Another utopian socialist who influenced Marx and his followers was {{i|Fourierism}} [[Fourierism|Charles Fourier]], who pushed for an ideal communist society where the {{I|NucFam}} [[Nuclear Family Model|traditional family]] was completely rejected and everyone practices {{I|Libertinism}} [[libertinism]] without constraint, promoting {{I|Polyamory}} [[Polyamory|orgies]], {{I|Sadomasochism}} [[sadomasochism]], {{I|Incest}} [[incest]] and {{I|Zoophilia}} [[Zoophilia|bestiality]]. {{I|Owen}} [[Owenism|Robert Owen]], another forerunner of Marx, in 1825 attempted to implement his utopian socialist vision in {{I|New Harmony, Indiana}} [[New Harmony, Indiana]]:


In theory, Communism preaches {{i|Absolute Equality}} [[Absolute Equality|absolute egalitarianism]], and in practice, it yielded {{i|Dictatorship}} [[Dictatorship|dictatorial]] governments that had bestowed material wealth to the rulers and crushing poverty to the masses. Communist theory and the various ideological tracts penned by communist regimes are replete with promises to support and represent the interests of proletarian workers and peasants. But in practice, the working class is quickly betrayed and suffers the worst abuses.
{{Quote|I now declare, to you and the {{I|Earth}} [[Earth|world]], that {{I|Humankind}} [[Humankind|Man]], up to this hour, has been, in all parts of the earth, a {{I|Theism}} [[Theism|slave]] to a {{I|TheDivine}} [[Holy Beings|Trinity of the most monstrous evils]] that could be combined to inflict mental and physical evil upon his whole race. I refer to {{I|Propertarianism}} [[Propertarianism|private, individual property]]—absurd and irrational systems of {{I|Religion}} [[religion]]—and {{I|NucFam}} [[Nuclear Family Model|marriage]], founded on individual property combined with some one of these irrational systems of religion.|{{I|Owen}} [[Owenism|Robert Owen]], 1826}}


After Engels's death in 1895, communism split into two main camps: {{I|MarxRevision}} [[Reformist Marxism|revisionist]] Marxists, who favoured a gradual and {{I|Pacifism}} [[Pacifism|peaceful]] transition to {{I|Socialism}} [[socialism]] and would thrive in the West, and {{I|RevSoc}} [[Revolutionary Socialism|revolutionary]] Marxists, who called for {{I|Aggression}} [[Aggressionism|violence]] and would thrive in the East. The foremost revisionist was {{I|Bernstein}} [[Bernsteinism|Eduard Bernstein]], a leader of the {{I|SPD}} [[Social Democratic Party of Germany]], who fled {{I|German Empire}} [[German Empire|his homeland]] in 1881 to avoid arrest and imprisonment under the {{I|AntiSoc}} [[Anti-Socialism|antisocialist]] laws of Chancellor {{I|Bismarck}} [[Bismarckism|Otto von Bismarck]]. Orthodox Marxists branded Bernstein a bourgeois and a counterrevolutionary traitor to the cause.
The influence of Fourier and Owen sparked dozens sparked dozens of communist utopian communes in the {{I|USA}} [[United States of America|United States]] in the 19th century, most of which were short-lived and ended in failure. They taught Marx that the conditions were not right to advocate for {{I|SexLib}} [[Sexual Liberation|open-sex]] communes so openly, even though the Specter still wants the destruction of the {{I|NucFam}} [[Nuclear Family Model|basic family unit]].  


On 14 July 1889, 6 years after {{I|MarxC}} [[Karl Marx Thought|Marx]]'s death, 13 years after the dissolution of the {{I|Commie}} [[International Workingmen's Association|First International]], and 100 years after the French Revolution, the {{I|Commie}} [[Second International]] would be formed. Communists rallied up once again.
Marx was also deeply influenced by {{I|Feuerbach}} [[Feuerbachism|Ludwig Feuerbach]], also an early {{I|Atheism}} [[Atheism|denier of God's existence]]. Feuerbach's theory sheds some light on how communism emerged and spread. Advances in {{I|Science}} [[science]], {{I|Technocracy}} [[Technocracy|mechanization]], {{I|Materialism}} [[Materialism|material goods]], {{I|Medicine}} [[medicine]], and {{I|Hedonism}} [[Hedonism|leisure]] created the impression that happiness is a function of material wealth. Therefore, any dissatisfaction must arise from social limitations. It seemed that with material advancement and social change, people would have the means to build a {{I|Utopianism}} [[Utopianism|utopia]] without any need from the Divine. This vision is the principal means by which people are lured then initiated into the cult of communism.


===Violence in the East, Subversion in the West===
{{I|Socialism}} [[Socialism|Socialist]] ideologies continued to make headway in {{I|French4}} [[French First Republic|French]] politics during the 19th century. {{I|UtSoc}} [[League of Outlaws]], which took Babeuf as spiritual founder, developed rapidly in {{I|Paris}} [[Paris]] in 1834. {{I|Weitling}} [[Weitlingism|Wilhelm Weitling]] joined the League in 1835, and under his leadership, the secret society renamed to {{I|UtSoc}} [[League of the Just]]. In a meeting held in June 1847 the League of the Just merged with the {{I|Commie}} [[Communist Correspondence Committee]] led by {{I|MarxC}} [[Karl Marx Thought|Marx]] and {{I|Engels}} [[Engelsism|Engels]] to form the {{I|Marxism}} [[Communist League]]. Revolutions and insurrections took place one after another following the end of {{I|First French Empire}} [[First French Empire|Napoleonic]] rule. By 1848, revolution and {{I|War}} [[war]] had spread throughout {{I|Europe}} [[Europe]], providing the optimal environment for the spread of communism. In February, Marx and Engels published the foundational work of the {{i|Proletariat Internationalism}} [[Proletariat Internationalism|international communist movement]], the ''Communist Manifesto''.
WWI, from 1914 to 1918, was the most deadly and brutal conflict yet. The new technologies of the early 20th century gave {{I|war}} [[war]] a new face. It gave to many people a view that {{i|Capitalism}} [[Capitalism|capitalist]] countries are all {{i|Imp}} [[Imperialism|imperialist]] and don't care about their people and would send them out to war. As Europe underwent this radical change, opportunity would strike once again for the devil.


====Lenin's New Russia====
{{I|Darwin}} [[Charles Darwin Thought|Charles Darwin]]'s {{I|Pseudoscience}} [[Pseudoscience|shaky]] {{I|Darwinism}} [[Darwinism|theory of evolution]] gave the Specter significant grounding in the field of {{I|Science}} [[science]]. If all organism were the result of {{I|Naturalism}} [[Naturalism|natural]] genetic mutations and selection to infinite degrees, humankind would be simply be the most advanced of all species with no place nor need for the {{I|TheDivine}} [[Holy Beings|Divine]]. In 1860 and 1862, Marx wrote in letters praising Darwin's ''Origin of Species'' for containing the natural-history foundation for "our viewpoint" ({{I|Historical Materialism}} [[Historical Materialism]]), and the natural-scientific basis for "the class-struggle in history".
WWI led the Second International's member parties to abandon {{i|Proletariat Internationalism}} [[Proletariat Internationalism|internationalist]] solidarity and side with their own {{i|Nationalism}} [[Nationalism|national]] governments, shattering the illusion of a united workers' movement, which collapsed in 1916. But the effects of WWI on communism did more assist than damage. It was because of it that there came an opportunity for the exiled {{i|Lenin}} [[Vladimir Lenin Thought|Lenin]] to return to a weakened {{i|Russian Empire}} [[Russian Empire|Russia]]. With help from the {{i|German Empire}} [[German Empire]] hoping that Lenin can stir chaos so Russia leaves the Eastern Front, Lenin was shipped in a box like a dangerous plague. He became a prominent leader of the Russian Revolution (1917). The {{i|Nicholas2}} [[Nicholas II Thought|Tsar]] stepped down, and a {{i|Russian Republic}} [[Russian Republic|provisional government]] was established. World War I has given triumph to communism in Russia.


Lenin built and retooled on {{i|Marxism}} [[Marxism|Marx's theory]] because it failed. He figured that the "have-nots" weren't going to rise up by themselves, so they need to be led by {{i|Elitism}} [[Elitism|elites]] who can radicalize them. This was why when the provisional government's {{i|Democracy}} [[Democracy|elections]] didn't bring Lenin's {{i|CPSU}} [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union|far-left party]] to rule, he did the October Revolution on 7 November 1917, forcibly taking power and labeled the provisional government as the "enemy of the people". Never would Marx have thought that "backwards Russia" would become the first Communist state. {{i|Leninism}} [[Leninism]] was the ruling ideology. {{I|RedTerror}} [[Red Terror|Mass terror]] was believed to be a necessary weapon in the {{i|Ergatocracy}} [[Ergatocracy|dictatorship of the proletariat]], and bad policies led to severe crackdowns.
In 1864, Marx and others established the {{I|Commie}} [[International Workingmen's Association]], also known as the First International, positioning Marx as spiritual leader of the communist workers' movement. As leader, Marx worked to create a core group of strictly disciplined revolutionaries who would rally the workers to revolt. At the same time, he banished anyone who disagreed with him. {{I|Bakunin}} [[Bakuninism|Mikhail Bakunin]], the first major {{I|Russian Empire}} [[Russian Empire|Russian]] Marxist, gathered many recruits for the communist movement, but Marx accused him of being a {{I|Tsar}} [[Tsarism|Tsarist]] agent and expelled him from the International.


{{i|Trotsky}} [[Trotskyism|Leon Trotsky]], another key figure in the communist revolution, developed the theory of "permanent revolution" or "perpetual revolution", where one oppressor is toppled, the new ruling class becomes the next oppressor. It never ends. By now, you probably noticed the term "oppressor" is just a label used by communists to refer to anyone who has life better than themselves, regardless of if they earned it or not. In their theory of {{i|Absolute Equality}} [[Absolute Equality]], everyone is the same, and should be rewarded the same regardless of their effort or sacrifices.
In 1871, the {{i|French3}} [[French Third Republic|French]] branch of the First International launched the first communist revolution. It was March when the {{i|ParisCom}} [[Paris Commune]] began with the rebellion of {{i|Left-Ochlocracy}} [[Left-Ochlocracy|armed mobs]] and {{i|Illegalism}} [[Illegalism|bandits]] from the lowest rungs of society, led by {{i|Socialism}} [[Socialism|socialists]], {{i|Marxism}} [[Marxism|Marxists]], {{i|Anarchism}} [[Anarchism|anarchists]], and other activists. What followed was killing and destruction on a mass scale as the rebels laid waste to the exquisite relics, monuments, and art of {{i|Paris}} [[Paris]].


The USSR wasted no time in trying to export communist revolution to the world. In 1919, the {{i|Bolsheviks}} [[Bolshevik Government]] instigated the creation of the {{i|Comintern}} [[Comintern]] (Third International). Throughout his existence, the Comintern would be dominated by the Kremlin despite his internationalist stance.
{{Quote|What good does it do me for there to be monuments, operas, cafe-concerts where I have never set foot because I don't have the money?|{{i|Naturalism}} [[Naturalism|Edmond]] and {{i|Naturalism}} [[Naturalism|Jules Goncourt]]}}


Its most successful attempt was in the far east, in a time when {{i|Beiyang}} [[China]] was having an identity crisis. The {{i|CCP}} [[Chinese Communist Pary]] would be founded in 1921 by {{i|ChenDuxiu}} [[Chen Duxiu Thought|Chen Duxiu]] as an Asian branch of the communist specter, with the Soviet as its head. For several years, the CCP was completely dependent on Soviet funding and served as an organ of the Soviet communist regime. The CCP continued to further Soviet interests in China for the next three decades.  The communist specter invaded {{i|Bogd Khan}} [[Bogd Khanate of Mongolia|Mongolia]] while he was trying to shake free of Chinese control, and turned Mongolia into a communist {{i|MongolPR}} [[Mongolian People's Republic|puppet]] in 1924.
{{i|USA}} [[United States of America|American]] diplomat {{i|USAcircle}} [[Union Army|Wickham Hoffman]], who was stationed in Paris at the time of the Commune, said, "It is {{i|Immoralism}} [[Immoralism|bitter, relentless, and cruel]]; and is, no doubt, a sad legacy of the {{i|Butcher}} [[Totalitarianism|bloody]] Revolution of 1789." American writer and publisher {{i|Literature}} [[Literature|William Pembroke Fetridge]] described the Commune as "the most criminal (act) the {{i|Earth}} [[Earth|world]] has ever seen" and "a revolution of blood and violence". Its leaders were "ruthless desperadoes… the refuse of France… {{i|Schizo}} [[Schizophrenia|madmen]], drunk with {{i|Alcohol}} [[Alcoholism|wine]] and {{i|Sadism}} [[Sadism|blood]]." The struggle between {{I|Tradition}} [[Traditionalism|tradition]] and {{I|AntiTrad}} [[Anti-Traditionalism|anti-tradition]] begun in the French Revolution and were now further played out. The {{I|Terrorism}} [[Terrorism|extremism]] of the Commune originated in part from the hate-filled ideas of {{I|Saint-Simonianism}} [[Saint-Simonianism|Henri de Saint-Simon]] who called for the death of rich folks, whom he thought were parasites. Marx was very pleased with the Commune, calling it a {{I|StateSoc}} [[State Socialism|communist state]]. Not only that, the Commune pioneered methods of {{I|RevSoc}} [[Revolutionary Socialism|communist revolution]]. Monuments were destroyed, churches were looted, clergy were slaughtered. The savages dressed statues of saints in modern clothing and affixed smoking pipes to their mouths. The Commune lasted a little over two months before being defeated by the French. Sensing defeat, Commune leaders ordered to {{I|Arson}} [[Arsonism|burn down]] all government, luxury and apartment buildings. The magnificent Tuileries Palace was lost to the flames. Fortunately, the arsonists' attempt to torch the nearby Louvre was foiled by the arrival of {{i|Thiers}} [[Thiersism|Adolphe Thiers]]'s troops. Marx quickly adjusted his theory in the wake of the Paris Commune, revising ''The Communist Manifesto'' to clarify that the working class should not simply take over the state mechanism, but rather completely {{i|AnTot}} [[Anarcho-Totalitarianism|break it down and destroy it]].
 
In 1924, Lenin died. {{i|Stalin}} [[Stalinism|Joseph Stalin]] took power and continued Lenin's work.
 
====Long March Through the Institutions====
While Communism was ruling through {{i|Totalitarianism}} [[Totalitarianism|violence]] in the East, it was using a different approach to undermine traditional culture in the West. It was an {{i|Pacifism}} [[Pacifism|nonviolent]] approach, but its ultimate goal is the same as it was in the {{i|USSR}} [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet Union]] or {{i|PRC}} [[People's Republic of China|China]]: destroy {{i|Tradition}} [[Traditionalism|tradition]], destroy humanity's faith in the {{i|0ball}} [[Holy Beings|divine]], and {{i|Immoralism}} [[Immoralism|degenerate]] the human race to a point of no return. In the 1930s, {{i|KoItaly}} [[Kingdom of Italy|Italian]] communist {{i|Gramsci}} [[Gramscianism|Antonio Gramsci]] wrote about the need for communists and {{i|Socialism}} [[Socialism|socialists]] to fight a "war of position" to subvert Western society from within via {{I|CultMarx}} "[[Cultural Marxism]]".
 
The {{i|Trotskyism}} [[Trotskyism|Trotskyian]] ideology of the permanent revolution reformed itself in the West into the {{i|Frankfurt School}} [[Frankfurt School]]. This form of communism noticed {{i|Capitalism}} [[Capitalism]]'s material success inoculated workers against revolution: after all, wasn't it always material prosperity that the communists have promised their people? So, it turned its sight on culture: education, media, churches, arts, and more. It was called the "Long March Through the Institutions". Communist thought was subtly implanted in various fields in Western society, most notably colleges. If they couldn't radicalize people economically, they'd do it socially, spiritually, slowly, generationally.
 
One of the many ways the devil of communism deceives is by making arrangements in the two opposing camps of the East and the West. As it carried out a vast invasion of the East, it also took on a new guise and stole into the West. The {{I|Fabian Society}} [[Fabian Society]] of {{I|UK}} [[United Kingdom|Britain]], the {{i|SPD}} [[Social Democratic Party of Germany|Social Democratic Party]] of {{I|Germany}} [[Germany]], the {{I|Commie}} [[Second International]] of {{I|French3}} [[French Third Republic|France]], the {{I|SPA}} [[Socialist Party of America|Socialist Party]] in the {{I|USA}} [[United States of America|United States]], and many other {{I|Socialism}} [[Socialism|socialist]] parties and organizations spread the seeds of destruction throughout Western Europe and North America. In the West, many view socialism and communism as being separate, which provides fertile ground for socialism to flourish. In fact, according to {{I|MarxLenin}} [[Marxism-Leninism|Marxist-Leninist]] theory, socialism is simply communism's preliminary stage. {{I|History}} [[History|Historically]], socialism has always been part of the international communist movement.
 
====Tyranny of Stalin====
{{I|Lenin}} [[Vladimir Lenin Thought|Lenin]]'s death in 1924 left {{I|Stalin}} [[Stalinism|Joseph Stalin]], {{I|Trotsky}} [[Trotskyism|Leon Trotsky]], and {{I|Bukharin}} [[Bukharin|Nikolay Bukharin]] as the leaders of the {{I|CPSU}} [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union|All-Russian Communist Party]]. Before he died, Lenin warned his party comrades to beware of Stalin's ambitions. The warning proved prophetic.
 
{{I|Stalin}} [[Stalinism|Stalin]] took power in the {{I|USSR}} [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|USSR]] in 1924. Cunning and ruthless, his policies of {{i|Totalitarianism}} [[Totalitarianism]] meant the death of anyone who Stalin suspected the slightest of disobedience, which caused massive rounds of executions within the communist rank. Under his leadership, people starved, and anyone who was critical of the regime was sent to gulags, which were torture and forced labor camps usually located deep in {{i|Siberia}} [[Siberia]].
 
The ideology of the regime evolved from {{I|Leninism}} [[Leninism]] to {{i|MarxLenin}} [[Marxism-Leninism]], and as a part of this, he abandoned some of the {{I|Capitalism}} [[Capitalism|capitalist]], market policies that had been allowed to continue under {{I|Lenin}} [[Vladimir Lenin Thought|Lenin]] such as the {{I|NEP}} [[New Economic Policy]]. Communism forced collectivization of the farms and forced collection of grains from the peasants in accordance with predecided targets. The {{I|CPSU}} [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union|All-Union Communist Party]] especially targeted kulaks, who owned a little land. Peasants who refused were starved in man-made famines, the most famous being the {{I|Kazakh SSR old}} [[Kazakh Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic|Kazakh]] famine of 1930-1933 and the {{i|Ukrainian SSR old}} [[Holodomor]] in {{I|UkrSSR}} [[Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic|Ukraine]].
 
Another feature of Stalinism was his {{I|Cult of Personality}} [[Cult of Personality]]. Whereas Lenin had claimed that the workers suffered from false consciousness and therefore needed a vanguard party to guide them, Stalin maintained that the Communist Party himself suffered from false consciousness (and from spies and traitors within his ranks) and therefore needed an all-wise leader (Stalin himself).
 
Stalin took control of the {{I|Comintern}} [[Comintern]] and introduced a policy in the international organization of opposing all leftists who were not Marxist–Leninists, labelling them to be {{I|SocFas}} [[Social Fascism|social fascists]]. Other communists begged for {{I|LeftUnity}} [[Left Unity|leftist unity]]. In the early 1930s, Stalin reversed course and promoted popular front movements whereby communist parties would collaborate with {{I|Socialism}} [[Socialism|socialists]] and other political forces. A high priority was mobilizing wide support for the {{I|2SpainRep}} [[Second Spanish Republic|Republican]] cause in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939).
 
The Great Purge was a massive wave of purges, unsubstantiated trials, and executions of fellow communist men ordered by Stalin that mainly operated from December 1936 to November 1938. Under the communist system, no matter who you are, be it a so-called ally to the cause, you could still be accused. For the purpose of communism is to destroy mankind, and the paranoia of the devil will forever seek more people to accuse, to brainwash, to kill, to maintain power. Stalin systematically killed off the ranks from Lenin's era, replacing them with his own. Stalin did so usually under the justification that the accused were enemy spies or deemed "enemies of the people"; in the {{I|Red Army}} [[Red Army]], a majority of generals were executed and hundreds of thousands of other "enemies of the people" were sent to the gulag, where inhumane conditions in Siberia led a quick death. The most famous killing was the accusation and assassination of the famous Red Army leader {{i|Trotsky}} [[Trotskyism|Leon Trotsky]] in 1938.
 
===Spread of Communism, Iron Curtain, Eastern Bloc===
Like WWI, WWII, from 1939 to 1945, has brought radical changes to the {{i|Earth}} [[Earth|world]]. The {{i|USSR}} [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet communists]], with their military success in Eastern Europe, was able to establish communist puppet regimes across the land after driving out the {{I|NaziWar}} [[Nazism|Nazis]], replacing one monster with another. The {{i|CCP}} [[Chinese Communist Party|Chinese communists]] took advantage of the war to grow their army, and thus, with Soviet backing, were able to take full control of China. There was also no serious opposition to {{I|Stalin}} [[Stalinism|Stalin]] as the {{i|NKVD}} [[People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs|NKVD]] secret police continued to send possible suspects to the gulag.
 
Relations with the {{I|USA}} [[United States of America|United States]] and {{I|UK}} [[United Kingdom|Britain]] went from {{I|Allies}} [[Allied Powers|friendly]] to hostile, as they denounced Stalin's political controls over eastern Europe and his blockade of {{I|Berlin}} [[Berlin]]. By 1947, the Cold War had begun. The Soviet communist puppet governments were blocked off from the West, creating an "iron curtain". Those behind the curtain was known as the "{{I|Commie}} [[Eastern Bloc]]", characterized by extreme censorship and oppression.
 
===Exporting Revolution, Revisionism, and Mao Zedong's Red Asia===
In 1949, after defeating the {{I|KMT}} [[Kuomintang]] in the Chinese Civil War, Chairman {{i|Mao}} [[Mao Zedong Thought|Mao Zedong]] of the now {{i|PRC}} [[People's Republic of China|communist China]] implemented his school of {{i|AgSoc}} [[Agrarian Socialism|agrarian]] and {{i|Anti Intellectualism}} [[Anti-Intellectualism|anti-intellectual]] school of communism, known as {{i|Maoism}} [[Maoism]]. It wreaked havoc all across the land.
 
In early 1950, {{I|Stalin}} [[Stalinism|Stalin]] gave the go-ahead for {{I|NKorea}} [[North Korea]]'s invasion of {{I|SKorea}} [[First Republic of Korea|South Korea]], expecting a short war. He was stunned when the {{I|USA}} [[United States of America|Americans]] entered and defeated the North Koreans, putting them almost on the Soviet border. Stalin supported PR China's entry into the Korean War which drove the Americans back to the prewar boundaries, but which escalated tensions. The United States decided to mobilize his economy for a long contest with the Soviets, built the hydrogen bomb and strengthened the {{I|NATO}} [[NATO]] alliance that covered {{I|Western Bloc}} [[Western Bloc|Western]] Europe.
 
Since {{I|Stalin}} [[Stalinism|Stalin]] died in 1953, his successor {{i|Khrushchev}} [[Khrushchevism|Nikita Khrushchev]] began a process of de-Stalinization within the Soviet Union. He began making many {{I|Reformism}} [[Reformism|reforms]] in the USSR and also began a policy that turned away from hardline {{I|MarxLenin}} [[Marxism-Leninism]].
 
In 1955, communist {{I|North Vietnam}} [[North Vietnam]], led by {{I|HoChiMinh}} [[Hồ Chí Minh Thought|Ho Chi Minh]], invaded his {{I|Capitalism}} [[Capitalism|capitalist]] neighbour {{I|South Vietnam}} [[South Vietnam]]. North Vietnam was supported by his communist allies from the {{I|USSR}} [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|USSR]] and {{I|PRC}} [[People's Republic of China|PRC]].
 
Mao Zedong planned and oversaw several industrial and agricultural initiatives that proved disastrous for the Chinese people. Among the most important of these was the Great Leap Forward (1958-60), his version of Stalin's policy of rapid, forced {{I|Industrialism}} [[Industrialism|industrialization]]. Aiming to produce steel in backyard blast furnaces and to manufacture other commodities in hastily erected small-scale factories, it was a spectacular failure that caused the deaths of tens of millions of Chinese, negatively impacting at least half the population.
 
====Cuban Revolution====
In 1959, communist {{I|Castro}} [[Castroism|Fidel Castro]] and his {{I|M-26-7}} [[26th of July Movement]] led a coup in {{I|Cuba}} [[Republic of Cuba|Cuba]] and ousted {{I|Batista}} [[Batistaism|Fulgencio Batista]], however the revolution was not communist at first and included many non-communists. Still, by 1961, Castro formally declared Cuba a {{I|StateSoc}} [[State Socialism|socialist state]], aligning with USSR and adopting a {{I|OneParty}} [[One-Party State|one-party system]] under the {{i|PCC}} [[Communist Party of Cuba]]. Political opposition was suppressed, independent media shut down, and thousands of Cubans fled the island — including many of those who had supported the revolution's early promise of {{I|Dem}} [[democracy]]. Communism made everybody in Cuba equal, meaning that doctors were getting paid the same wage as taxi drivers, who sometimes makes more money than the latter because of tips. So, Cuba fell into a depressive state as all the important people in society ran off to someplace where their efforts would be properly rewarded.
 
The {{I|USA}} [[Unietd States of America|United States]]' response was highly negative, leading to a failed invasion attempt in 1961. In response, {{I|USSR}} [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet]] decided to station nuclear weapons in Cuba in 1962, causing the Cuban Missile Crisis, where there was serious fear of nuclear {{I|War}} [[war]] for a few days. In the end a compromise was reached by which USSR publicly removed his weapons, and the United States secretly removed his weapons from bases in {{I|Turkey}} [[Türkiye]] and promised never to invade Cuba again.
 
====Sino-Soviet Split====
By the 1960s, one third of the world had overthrown {{I|Capitalism}} [[capitalism]] and were trying to build communism. Most of these countries followed the model of the {{I|MarxLenin}} [[Marxism-Leninism|Soviet Union]]. Some followed the model of {{I|Maoism}} [[Maoism|China]]. All were miserable failures.
 
The PRC was furious at USSR's {{I|MarxRevision}} [[Reformist Marxism|revisionism]] after the death of {{i|Stalin}} [[Stalinism|Stalin]] in 1953, causing the Sino-Soviet split in 1961. This caused the {{i|Commie}} [[Eastern Bloc|communist bloc]] being split into two sides: one led by USSR, and the other led by PRC. The two competed for influence, exporting communism to many nations of Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.
 
====Eurocommunism====
An important trend in several countries in Western Europe from the late 1960s into the 1980s was {{I|Eurocom}} [[Eurocommunism]], which was the strongest in {{I|Spain}} [[Spain]]'s {{I|PCE}} [[Communist Party of Spain|PCE]], {{I|Finland}} [[Finland]]'s {{I|SKP}} [[Communist Party of Finland|SKP]], and especially {{I|Italy}} [[Italy]]'s {{I|PCI}} [[Italian Communist Party|PCI]]. These parties drew on the degenerate ideas of {{i|Gramsci}} [[Gramscianism|Antonio Gramsci]] and was developed by communist party members who were disillusioned with both the {{I|USSR}} [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet Union]] and {{I|PRC}} [[People's Republic of China|China]] and sought an independent program. They accepted {{I|LibDem}} [[Liberal Democracy|liberal parliamentary democracy]] and {{I|Free Speech}} [[Free Speech Advocacy|free speech]] as well as even accepting with some conditions a {{I|Capitalism}} [[Capitalism|capitalist]] market economy. They did not speak of the destruction of capitalism but sought to win the support of the masses and by a gradual transformation of the bureaucracies.
 
====African Communism====
<blockquote>''See also: {{I|AfrSoc}} [[African Socialism]]''</blockquote>
 
As Africa became {{I|PostColonial}} [[Post-Colonialism|decolonized]] in the 1960s, the communist spector took interest. {{I|USSR}} [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|USSR]] and {{I|PRC}} [[People's Republic of China|PRC]] competed to see who could exert their influence more in the region, turning many independence movements communist, also hoping to create puppet states that would deny the West of economic and strategic resources. Soviet foreign policy with regard to Africa assumed that newly independent African governments would be receptive to communist ideology and that the Soviets would have the resources to make them attractive as development partners.
 
During the 1970s, the ruling parties of several sub-Saharan African states formally embraced communism, including the {{I|PRBenin}} [[People's Republic of Benin]], the {{I|PRMozambique}} [[People's Republic of Mozambique]], the {{I|PRCongo}} [[People's Republic of the Congo]], the {{I|PDRE}} [[People's Democratic Republic of Ethiopia]], and the {{I|Angola}} [[People's Republic of Angola]]. Most of these regimes ensured the selective adoption and flexible application of communist theory set against a broad ideological commitment to {{I|Marx}} [[Marxism]] or {{I|Leninism}} [[Leninism]]. The adoption of communism was often seen as a means to an end and used to justify the {{I|Auth}} [[Authoritarianism|extreme centralization of power]].
 
====Rancid Hypermaoism====
The {{I|Maoism}} [[Maoism|Chinese communists]] launched the {{I|RevProg}} [[Revolutionary Progressivism|Cultural]] [[Anarcho-Totalitarianism|Revolution]] {{i|AnTot}} in 1966. It was a bloodthirsty craze that destroyed countless cultural relics, traditions, and lives, all in the name of the communist revolution. It was the most direct and brutal implementation of {{I|Aggression}} [[Aggressionism|violent]] class struggle. The movement paralyzed China politically and weakened the country economically, culturally and {{I|Intellectualism}} [[Intellectualism|intellectually]] for years. Millions of people were accused, humiliated, imprisoned, killed, publicly executed, or sent to work as farm laborers. This upheaval caused widespread persecution, economic stagnation, and millions of deaths, with total Mao-era mortality estimates ranging from 40-80 million due to starvation, executions, and forced labor.
 
The {{I|PRC}} [[People's Republic of China|PRC]] made the exporting of revolution a cornerstone of his foreign policy. In addition to providing financial support, training, and weapons for far-left {{i|Insurrectionary}} [[Insurrectionary Anarchism|insurrections]], the PRC sometimes sent troops to directly assist guerrilla fighters against legitimate governments. In fact, by 1973 (during the Cultural Revolution), PRC foreign aid spending peaked at nearly 7 percent of the national budget.
 
Communism spread throughout Asia via communist China. In 1975, {{I|South Vietnam}} [[South Vietnam]] was capitulated and all of Vietnam fell into communist hands. It has been estimated that between 2 and 3 million deaths occurred after the fall of {{i|South Vietnam}} [[Saigon]], in compliance with {{I|HoChiMinh}} [[Hồ Chí Minh Thought|Ho Chi Minh]]'s instructions. The same year, {{I|PolPot}} [[Pol Potism|Pol Pot]]'s {{I|Khmer Rouge}} [[Democratic Kampuchea]] took over {{I|KhmerRep}} [[Khmer Republic|Cambodia]] and turned the country into literally hell on {{I|Earth}} [[Earth]]. Under Pol Pot's rule, 25% of the entire population suffered unnatural deaths directly from his policies. It was similar to PRC's Cultural Revolution, but even worse and even more schizophrenic. Many innocent people were sent to the killing fields just because they wore glasses and spoke foreign languages.
 
====West's Romanticization of Communism====
During the Cold War, many {{I|Intellectualism}} [[Intellectualism|intellectuals]], {{I|Artist}} [[Art|artists]], {{I|Mediacracy}} [[Mediacracy|journalists]], {{I|Politics}} [[Politics|politicians]], and young students from the free world went to {{I|USSR}} [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Russia]], {{i|PRC}} [[People's Republic of China|China]], or {{I|CommieCuba}} [[Communist Cuba|Cuba]] as tourists and travelers. What they saw, or rather were allowed to see, was completely different from the lived reality of the people of those countries. Communist countries have perfected their deception of foreigners: everything the foreign visitors saw was carefully crafted for their tastes, including the model villages, factories, schools, hospitals, daycare centers, and prisons. The receptionists they encountered were members of the ruling Communist Party or others considered politically reliable. The tours were rehearsed, the visitors were greeted with flowers, wine, dancing and singing, banquets, and smiling young children and officials. Then they were taken to see people hard at work, able to talk freely and as equals; students studying hard; and lovely weddings. What they didn't get to see were the show trials, mass sentencings, {{I|Left-Ochlocracy}} [[Left-Ochlocracy|mob lynchings]], struggle sessions, kidnappings, brainwashing, solitary confinement, {{I|LeftSlave}} [[Left-Slavery|forced labor camps]], {{I|Genocide}} [[Genocide|massacres]], {{I|Socialism}} [[Socialism|theft of land and property]], famines, shortages of public services, lack of privacy, eavesdropping, surveillance, monitoring by neighbors and informants everywhere, brutal political struggles in the leadership, and {{I|Plutocracy}} [[Plutocracy|extravagant luxuries]] of the communist {{I|Elitism}} [[Elitism|elite]]. They especially weren't able to see the suffering of ordinary people.
 
The visitors mistook what had been staged for them as the norm in a communist country. They then promoted communism in the West through books, articles, and speeches, and many of them didn't know they had been taken in. A small number did see cracks in the edifice, but many of them then fell into another trap: they saw themselves as "fellow travelers" and adopted the attitude of "not airing dirty laundry in front of outsiders". The slaughter, famine, and {{I|Totalitarianism}} [[Totalitarianism|suppression]] of communist countries, they reasoned, were simply part of the cost of transitioning to communism. They were confident that while the path to communism was crooked, the future was bright. They refused to tell the truth, because that would be blackening the name of the "{{I|Socialism}} [[Socialism|socialist]] project". Lacking the courage to tell the truth, they chose a shameful silence.
 
====Reformations for Survival====
After decades of hardcore communism, the two major communist powers that is {{I|USSR}} [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|USSR]] and {{i|PRC}} [[People's Republic of China|China]] both had to implement {{i|Capitalism}} [[Capitalism|capitalistic]] reforms in order to save themselves from their collapsing economies.
 
{{i|Mao}} [[Mao Zedong Thought|Mao Zedong]] died in 1976, his policies leaving {{i|PRC}} [[People's Republic of China|China]] in a critical condition. {{i|DengXiaoping}} [[Deng Xiaoping Thought|Deng Xiaoping]] took power behind the scenes, and implemented {{i|Capitalism}} [[Capitalism|capitalistic]] reforms and policies to prevent the PRC from total collapse and to "get some people rich first". These policies are known as "{{i|Deng}} [[Dengism|Socialism with Chinese Characteristics]]", which is basically just {{i|Cronyism}} [[cronyism]].
 
In 1985, {{I|Gorbachev}} [[Gorbachevism|Mikhail Gorbachev]] rose to power in the {{I|USSR}} [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet Union]] and began policies of radical political reform involving political {{I|Lib}} [[Liberalism|liberalization]] called ''perestroika'' and ''glasnost''. Gorbachev's policies were designed to dismantle the {{I|Auth}} [[Authoritarianism|authoritarian]] elements of the state that were developed by Stalin, aiming to restore the supposed ideal {{I|Leninism}} [[Leninism|Leninist]] state and retaining a {{I|OneParty}} [[One-Party State|one-party structure]] but allowing the {{I|Dem}} [[Democracy|democratic]] election of competing candidates to political office within the party. Gorbachev also aimed to restore {{I|Pacifism}} [[Pacifism|détente]] with the West and he also aimed to end the Cold War that was being waged by the Soviet Union because it was no longer economically sustainable.
 
====Decay & Fall of the Eastern Communist Bloc====
For much of the 20th century, about one-third of the {{I|Earth}} [[Earth|world]]'s population lived under {{I|StateSoc}} [[State Socialism|communist regimes]]. These regimes were characterized by the {{I|OneParty}} [[One-Party State|rule of a single party]] that tolerated no {{I|AntiAuth}} [[Anti-Authoritarianism|opposition]] and little dissent. Instead of a {{I|Capitalism}} [[Capitalism|capitalist]] economy in which people can compete for profits, party leaders established a command economy in which the state controlled property and its bureaucrats determined wages, prices, and production goals. This insufficiency is one of the factors that drove the majority of communist states to extinction.
 
Social resistance to the policies of communist regimes in Eastern Europe accelerated in strength with the rise of the {{I|Solidarnosc}} [[Solidarnosc|Solidarity]], the first non-communist controlled trade union in the {{I|Warsaw Pact}} [[Warsaw Pact]] that was formed in the {{I|PRPoland}} [[Polish People's Republic]] in 1980.
 
In 1989, revolts began across {{I|Warsaw Pact}} [[Warsaw Pact|Eastern Europe]] and {{I|PRC}} [[People's Republic of China|China]] against communist regimes. In China, the {{I|CCP}} [[Chinese Communist Party|government]] refused to negotiate with {{I|64}} [[1989 Tiananmen Square Protests|student protestors]] and massacred them while they were at Tiananmen Square. The Eastern Europeans were more lucky, as {{I|Berlin}} [[Berlin]] Wall fell that year, uniting the communist {{i|East Germany}} [[East Germany]] to the {{I|West Germany}} [[West Germany|West]]. People cheered and poured over the wall. This was a significant blow to the communist bloc. More and more of Soviet's communist satellite states began breaking away and declaring freedom.
 
Meanwhile, the {{I|Eurocom}} [[Eurocommunism|Eurocommunist]] movement in Western Europe that had faded in the 1980s collapsed with the fall of communism in Eastern Europe in 1989.
 
In 1991, the impossible happened: the great superpower USSR has fallen. One by one the republics declared their independence. Out of the Soviet corpse, there arose 15 new nations ready to start their future without communism.
 
===Contemporary Communism===
The collapse of the communist regimes in the {{I|USSR}} [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet Union]] and {{I|Slav}} [[Eastern Europe]] in 1991 marked the end of a half-century-long Cold War between the {{I|Capitalism}} [[Capitalism|capitalist]] and communist camps in the East and West. Many were thus {{I|Optimism}} [[Optimism|optimistic]], holding the belief that communism had become a relic of the past. The sad truth, however, is that a transmogrified communist ideology has instead taken hold and entrenched itself around the {{I|Earth}} [[Earth|world]]. There are the last remaining outright communist regimes like {{I|PRC}} [[People's Republic of China|China]], {{I|NKorea}} [[North Korea]], {{I|CommieCuba}} [[Communist Cuba|Cuba]], {{I|Laos}} [[Lao People's Democratic Republic|Laos]] and {{I|Vietnam}} [[Socialist Republic of Vietnam|Vietnam]]; there are the former Soviet Union and Eastern European countries, where communist ideology, nostalgia and customs still exert a significant influence; there are the African and South American countries, which attempt {{I|Socialism}} [[socialism]] under the banner of {{I|Dem}} [[democracy]] and {{I|Republic}} [[republicanism]]—and then there are the nations of Europe and North America, whose body politics have become host to communist influences, without people even realizing it. To this day, there are numerous Westerners who harbor romantic fantasies about communism, yet they've never lived in a communist country and borne the suffering there, and thus have no understanding of what communism actually means in practice.
 
{{I|Deng}} [[Dengism|China's communism]] has become something unrecognizable today. Since the {{I|64}} [[1989 Tiananmen Square Protests|Tiananmen Square protests and massacre of 1989]], there had been a "money craze" where everyone cared about nothing but money due to the change of policies as to the result of political reshuffling within the {{I|CCP}} [[Chinese Communist Party|CCP]]. Many would say that economically, and seeing the enormous class differences, China has turned full {{I|Capitalism}} [[Capitalism|capitalist]]. However, back in the {{I|Maoism}} [[Maoism|Mao era]] where everyone was {{I|Absolute Equality}} [[Absolute Equality|absolutely equal]] class differences still existed. At least in capitalism workers get paid a fair wage, injury benefits among others, while these are absent in China. It seems like China is living through a real version of the false idea of capitalism that {{I|MarxC}} [[Karl Marx Thought|Marx]] painted in his writings.
 
After losing Soviet subsidies and support, Vietnam and Cuba have attracted more foreign investment to their countries, with their economies becoming more market-oriented. North Korea, the last communist country that still practices Soviet-style communism, is both {{I|Totalitarianism}} [[Totalitarianism|repressive]] and {{I|Isolationism}} [[Isolationism|isolationist]]. In {{I|Nepal}} [[Nepal]], communist guerrillas got elected {{I|Dem}} [[Democracy|democratically]] in 2008 and remained the major ruling party before being overthrown in 2025.
 
====Western New Left: Neo-Marxism in Drag====
Communist ideology did not fade into {{i|History}} [[history]] at the end of the Cold War. In fact, the {{I|USSR}} [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet]] infiltration and subversion of the free world during that period was way more successful than he could have ever hoped. In essence, the same underlying philosophy lies behind the "{{i|ModernLeft}} [[Western New Left]]" and "traditional" communist regimes.
 
There was the {{i|PostMod}} [[Post-Modernism|Post-Modernists]], who declared that power doesn't just exist between the rich and poor, it exists everywhere. Between {{i|Male}} [[Male|man]] and {{i|Female}} [[Female|women]], {{i|2ball}} [[Indo-Europeans|white]] and {{i|8ball}} [[Africans|black]], fit and {{i|Fat}} [[Lipostocracy|fat]], you name it. All relationships became power struggles, and the personal became the political.
 
Then emerged {{i|Intersectionality}} [[Intersectionality]], who claimed that oppression isn't one dimensional and instead a matrix, with every identity adding a layer of victimhood and privilege. The {{i|ModernLeft}} [[Western New Left|modern progressives]] are really just {{i|NeoMarx}} [[Neo-Marxism|neo-Marxism]] in drag.
 
One of the most famous movement in spreading communism in the modern West would be {{i|Antifa}} [[Antifa]], a radical {{i|Anarchism}} [[Anarchism|anarchist]] and {{i|Marx}} [[Marxism|Marxist]] street militia that solidified around the year 2016. Antifa is known for targeting violent attacks against {{i|Moderatism}} [[Moderatism|moderates]] and {{i|RightUnity}} [[Right Unity|rightists]] while pushing for their communist ideology, often using common buzzwords such as "{{i|Fascism}} [[Fascism|fascist]]" and "bigot" to label their opponents, a strategy many other far-left groups in the West have taken on to use.
 
==Beliefs==
Communism wants to dismantle class hierarchies and traditional authority in pursuit of {{i|Absolute Equality}} [[Absolute Equality|radical equality]]. To enforce this, communist regimes relied on propaganda, censorship, political imprisonment and the destruction of cultural identity. The "equality" Communism focuses on is of results rather than of process, hence why it has always failed to make a decent {{i|Social}} [[society]].
 
There are many, many variants of the Communist ideology. Just as the devil goes by many names, communism manifests in many ways. The demon uses contradictory positions to deceive: be it for a {{I|Totalitarianism}} [[Totalitarianism|totalitarian]] regime or a {{I|Dem}} [[democracy]], a {{I|StateSoc}} [[State Socialism|planned economy]] or a {{I|Deng}} [[Dengism|market economy]], {{I|AntiFreeSpeech}} [[Anti-Free Speech|control of the press]] or {{I|Anarchism}} [[Anarchism|no restraints whatsoever]], {{I|Homophobia}} [[Homophobia|opposition to homosexuality]] in some countries or legalization of {{I|Homosex}} [[homosexuality]] in other countries, wanton {{I|AntiEnvi}} [[Anti-Environmentalism|environmental destruction]] or clamor for {{I|Envi}} [[Environmentalism|environmental protection]], and so on. They all have different views on specific issues, and thus to pinpoint their stance as a whole can be difficult. For example, most orthodox communists want an {{i|Auth}} [[Authoritarianism|authoritarian]] state, but {{i|AnCom}} [[Anarcho-Communism]] does not. Most communists despise {{i|Tradition}} [[Traditionalism|tradition]], but the Specter has mutated itself into oxymorons, so-called {{i|ConSoc}} [[Conservative Socialism]], {{i|RelSoc}} [[Religious Socialism]] and more the like. It has adapted itself to fit into what is most convenient and to deceive people on their soft spots, but its ultimate goal has been and will always be the same.
 
Communism is inherently against everything the heavens made this {{I|Earth}} [[Earth|world]] to be. Traditional laws come from {{I|Moralism}} [[Moralism|morality]] and are intended to uphold it. Communism tries to separate morality from the law, then destroy morality by concocting {{I|Immoralism}} [[Immoralism|malicious new laws]] and subjecting existing law to twisted interpretations. The divine calls upon man to be {{I|Altruism}} [[Altruism|kind]]; communism incites class struggle and advocates {{I|Aggression}} [[Aggressionism|violence]] and {{I|Psychopathy}} [[Psychopathy|killing]]. The divine established the {{I|NucFam}} [[Nuclear Family Model|family]] as the basic social unit; communism believes that the family is a manifestation of {{i|Propertarianism}} [[Propertarianism|private property]] and {{I|Capitalism}} [[capitalism]], and aims to eliminate it. The divine gives man the freedom to obtain wealth and the right to improve his lot in life; communism seeks to control all aspects of economic life by eliminating private property, expropriating assets, raising
taxes, and monopolizing credit and capital.
 
'''''The divine established the forms that morality, government, law, society, and culture should take; communism seeks the violent overthrow of existing social structures.'''''
 
===Heaven on Earth===
The "heaven on earth" is communism's biggest lie. Communism uses its program of creating a "paradise" on earth to promote an {{I|Atheism}} [[Atheism|atheistic]] conception of "{{I|SocProg}} [[Social Progressivism|social progress]]". It uses {{I|Materialism}} [[materialism]] to undermine the spiritual pursuits of mankind in order to enable the communist ideology to spread to every sphere, including not only social studies and philosophy but even natural sciences and {{I|Religion}} [[Religion|religious]] teaching. Like a malignant tumor, communism metastasizes, eliminating other beliefs—including the {{i|Theism}} [[Theism|belief in the divine]]—as it spreads. In turn, it destroys {{i|Nationalism}} [[Nationalism|national sovereignty]] and identity, and humanity's {{i|Moralism}} [[Moralism|moral]] and {{i|CultNat}} [[Cultural Nationalism|cultural]] traditions, thus leading man to destruction. In The Communist Manifesto, {{i|MarxC}} [[Karl Marx Thought|Marx]] proclaimed, "The {{i|Marxism}} [[Marxism|communist revolution]] is the most radical rupture with {{i|Propertarianism}} [[Propertarianism|traditional property relations]]; no wonder that its development involves the most radical rupture with {{i|Tradition}} [[Traditionalism|traditional ideas]]." Marx thus accurately summarized the practice of communism over the past two centuries.

This Article is Under Construction.

There may be lots of WIPs, missing icons, bad formatting, and/or unedited material from other sources on this page. Consider helping out!

This article is about the Communist Specter as a whole. For the variants of Communism that are commonly equated with the term, see 🏳️ Marxism and ☭ Marxism-Leninism. More more major variants, see ☭ Cultural Marxism, 🔨 Socialism and ☭ Western New Left.

I shall build my throne high overhead,
Cold, tremendous shall its summit be.
For its bulwark—superstitious dread,
For its Marshall—blackest agony.
☭ Karl Marx

Communism is a set of 🏛️ political, 📈 economic, 👥 social, and ⏳ cultural ideas bent on destroying humanity's 🏳️ divine institutions, systems, ways of thought and life, severing 👤 mankind from their origin and leading it towards destruction. It is a 😈 vile specter, its systematic methods include both violent struggle, revolution and killings as seen in the East and revolting degeneration, infiltration and subversion as seen the West. It seeks to destroy all traditional 🧭 morality, ⚖️ virtue, ⏳ culture, ⏳ lifestyle, 🎨 art, 🎶 music, 🏳️ literature, 🐥 property, 👨‍👩‍👦 family, 🪬 faith, and all other aspects of life, for it hates the good and righteous. It wants to struggle against, subvert, and destroy the good society which Heaven wills, turning man against their Creator, replacing them with hideous and ugly forms absent from the Divine. It propagates the false and dangerous belief that sin is not caused by the degeneration of morality, but by social oppression.

Communism has two main schools: Eastern "💢 violent 🏳️" communism such as ☭ Leninism, ☭ Marxism-Leninism, 🇨🇳 Maoism, 🇨🇳 Dengism, ☭ Pol Potism, ☭ Castroism, 🇻🇳 Hồ Chí Minh Thought, 🇰🇵 Juche, 🏳️ Hoxhaism, 🏳️ Ben Bellaism, and the like, representing governments who have 🔨 fully accepted Communism, and Western "☮️ nonviolent 🏳️" communism such as ☭ Bernsteinism, ☭ Gramscianism, ☭ Cultural Marxism, 📉 Critical Theory, ☭ Neo-Marxism, 🚩 Democratic Socialism, 🌹 Social Democracy, ☭ Eurocommunism, 🏳️ Counterculture, 🏳️ Sexual Liberation, 🏳️ Avant-Garde, ⚧️ Intersectionality, contemporary forms of 🔨 environmentalism, ♀️ feminism, ☭ liberalism/progressivism, "🏳‍🌈 political correctness", and the like, representing communist infiltration and subversion in non-communist countries. Both variants seek the destruction of moral values in all spheres of society, deriving their primary methods by the application of different aspects of 🏳️ Marxism (and its stepping stone, 🔨 socialism). In the East, it is through campaigns of mass violence against the Divine, in the West it is through the promotion of degenerate culture against the Divine.

Communism is the biggest, most systematic, unnatural enemy to all of human civilization.

History

The Specter of Communism has been working for centuries to 😈 corrupt and destroy 👤 humanity. It began by crippling man spiritually, divorcing him from his 🏳️ Divine origins. From here, the specter has has led the peoples of the world to cast out their millennia-old ⏳ cultural traditions that the Divine had meticulously arranged as the 🧭 proper standards ⚖️ for human existence. Bereft of its ancient heritage, the whole of human society is breaking down at un unprecedented pace. Meanwhile, the Specter's agents have exploited this societal havoc to push their nefarous agendas, masking them as "liberation" or "progress". Over the past two hundred years or more, the Specter's influence has overtaken 👥 social affairs and 📜 historical development. Its demonic influence rakes myriad and seemingly contradictory forms, from the overt brutality of communist rule found in the East to the piecemeal subversion found in the West.

Communism in its modern sense was first termed by 🔨 Victor D'Hupay in his book Projet de communauté philosophe published in 1777. But the Specter chose ☭ Karl Marx as its convoy among men. Marx, once a devout ✝️ Christian, turned to 😈 Satan instead, expressing his anger at the Divine in various demonic poems. In order to spread 🏳️ Marxism, it laid down various foundations.

Who'er thou art who passet, pray
Don't grieve that I am dead;
For had I been alive this day,
Thoud'st been here in my stead!
— Posthumous epitaph for 🪚 Maximilien Robespierre

During the 1793-1794 😱 Reign of Terror, the radical 🪓 revolutionaries established the ⚛️ Cult of Reason, making the masses worship an actress dressed as the Goddess of Reason, ridding 🇫🇷 Paris of ♰ traditional faith and implementing 🚫 anti-religous terror. 🔨 François-Noël Babeuf, an ☀️ utopian socialist who advocated to abolish 🐥 private property, was considered by Marx to be the first ☭ revolutionary communist. The French Revolution was closely connected to the development of Marxism. Another utopian socialist who influenced Marx and his followers was ☀️ Charles Fourier, who pushed for an ideal communist society where the 👨‍👩‍👦 traditional family was completely rejected and everyone practices 🏳️ libertinism without constraint, promoting 🏳️ orgies, 🏳️ sadomasochism, 🧬 incest and 🤮 bestiality. 🏳️ Robert Owen, another forerunner of Marx, in 1825 attempted to implement his utopian socialist vision in 🏳️ New Harmony, Indiana:

I now declare, to you and the 🌍 world, that 👤 Man, up to this hour, has been, in all parts of the earth, a 🪬 slave to a 🏳️ Trinity of the most monstrous evils that could be combined to inflict mental and physical evil upon his whole race. I refer to 🐥 private, individual property—absurd and irrational systems of 🙏 religion—and 👨‍👩‍👦 marriage, founded on individual property combined with some one of these irrational systems of religion.
🏳️ Robert Owen, 1826

The influence of Fourier and Owen sparked dozens sparked dozens of communist utopian communes in the 🇺🇸 United States in the 19th century, most of which were short-lived and ended in failure. They taught Marx that the conditions were not right to advocate for 🏳️ open-sex communes so openly, even though the Specter still wants the destruction of the 👨‍👩‍👦 basic family unit.

Marx was also deeply influenced by 🏳️ Ludwig Feuerbach, also an early 🚫 denier of God's existence. Feuerbach's theory sheds some light on how communism emerged and spread. Advances in 🧪 science, 👨‍💻 mechanization, 💎 material goods, 💊 medicine, and 🍷 leisure created the impression that happiness is a function of material wealth. Therefore, any dissatisfaction must arise from social limitations. It seemed that with material advancement and social change, people would have the means to build a 🌞 utopia without any need from the Divine. This vision is the principal means by which people are lured then initiated into the cult of communism.

🔨 Socialist ideologies continued to make headway in 🇫🇷 French politics during the 19th century. ☀️ League of Outlaws, which took Babeuf as spiritual founder, developed rapidly in 🇫🇷 Paris in 1834. 🏳️ Wilhelm Weitling joined the League in 1835, and under his leadership, the secret society renamed to ☀️ League of the Just. In a meeting held in June 1847 the League of the Just merged with the ☭ Communist Correspondence Committee led by ☭ Marx and ☭ Engels to form the 🏳️ Communist League. Revolutions and insurrections took place one after another following the end of 🇫🇷 Napoleonic rule. By 1848, revolution and ⚔️ war had spread throughout 🇪🇺 Europe, providing the optimal environment for the spread of communism. In February, Marx and Engels published the foundational work of the ☭ international communist movement, the Communist Manifesto.

🐒 Charles Darwin's 🏳️ shaky 🐒 theory of evolution gave the Specter significant grounding in the field of 🧪 science. If all organism were the result of 🏳️ natural genetic mutations and selection to infinite degrees, humankind would be simply be the most advanced of all species with no place nor need for the 🏳️ Divine. In 1860 and 1862, Marx wrote in letters praising Darwin's Origin of Species for containing the natural-history foundation for "our viewpoint" (🏳️ Historical Materialism), and the natural-scientific basis for "the class-struggle in history".

In 1864, Marx and others established the ☭ International Workingmen's Association, also known as the First International, positioning Marx as spiritual leader of the communist workers' movement. As leader, Marx worked to create a core group of strictly disciplined revolutionaries who would rally the workers to revolt. At the same time, he banished anyone who disagreed with him. 🏳️ Mikhail Bakunin, the first major 🇷🇺 Russian Marxist, gathered many recruits for the communist movement, but Marx accused him of being a 👑 Tsarist agent and expelled him from the International.

In 1871, the 🇫🇷 French branch of the First International launched the first communist revolution. It was March when the ☭ Paris Commune began with the rebellion of 🤬 armed mobs and 🚨 bandits from the lowest rungs of society, led by 🔨 socialists, 🏳️ Marxists, ⩜ anarchists, and other activists. What followed was killing and destruction on a mass scale as the rebels laid waste to the exquisite relics, monuments, and art of 🇫🇷 Paris.

What good does it do me for there to be monuments, operas, cafe-concerts where I have never set foot because I don't have the money?
🏳️ Edmond and 🏳️ Jules Goncourt

🇺🇸 American diplomat 🇺🇸 Wickham Hoffman, who was stationed in Paris at the time of the Commune, said, "It is 😈 bitter, relentless, and cruel; and is, no doubt, a sad legacy of the 🏳️ bloody Revolution of 1789." American writer and publisher 🏳️ William Pembroke Fetridge described the Commune as "the most criminal (act) the 🌍 world has ever seen" and "a revolution of blood and violence". Its leaders were "ruthless desperadoes… the refuse of France… 🏳️ madmen, drunk with 🍾 wine and 😈 blood." The struggle between ⏳ tradition and 🚫 anti-tradition begun in the French Revolution and were now further played out. The 😱 extremism of the Commune originated in part from the hate-filled ideas of 🏳️ Henri de Saint-Simon who called for the death of rich folks, whom he thought were parasites. Marx was very pleased with the Commune, calling it a 🔨 communist state. Not only that, the Commune pioneered methods of ☭ communist revolution. Monuments were destroyed, churches were looted, clergy were slaughtered. The savages dressed statues of saints in modern clothing and affixed smoking pipes to their mouths. The Commune lasted a little over two months before being defeated by the French. Sensing defeat, Commune leaders ordered to 🔥 burn down all government, luxury and apartment buildings. The magnificent Tuileries Palace was lost to the flames. Fortunately, the arsonists' attempt to torch the nearby Louvre was foiled by the arrival of 🇫🇷 Adolphe Thiers's troops. Marx quickly adjusted his theory in the wake of the Paris Commune, revising The Communist Manifesto to clarify that the working class should not simply take over the state mechanism, but rather completely 👹 break it down and destroy it.
