Work

Leftius

We all have to work for a living, if we are sane and healthy and if we are not monks or nuns (they actually work: they train their minds). It is just this attitude, which is very common today and of the Calvinists from an earlier date: to become rich, the deification of work. Capitalism has made us rich. I live in Finland which is a welfare state. Everybody has got bread, and we lack beggars in the streets. I know from Buddhism that we should work as little as possible. We can't take anything with us when we die. Six hours per day is a good a thing. In some of utopias we work indeed just six hours per day. Tolstoy tried to flee into peasantry in his crisis. He just wanted to work like an ordinary manual worker, and he was ashamed of his welfare. Riches create envy.

From the Bible, Matthew 6:

19: Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

20: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

"With a few flowers in my garden, half a dozen pictures and some books, I live without envy."
- Lope de Vega

Communism denies the existence of God. Work is their god.

Marx stated that religion is the enemy of mankind because there is no such thing as God and religious leaders take money from people out of pure greed not piety. He stated that because God does not exist society will be miserable until a government takes control of the society and performs all the tasks that God would do if he existed.

The technological singularity is a hypothetical event in which artificial general intelligence (constituting, for example, intelligent computers, computer networks, or robots) would be capable of recursive self-improvement (progressively redesigning itself), or of autonomously building ever smarter and more powerful machines than itself, up to the point of a runaway effect—an intelligence explosion—that yields an intelligence surpassing all current human control or understanding. Because the capabilities of such a superintelligence may be impossible for a human to comprehend, the technological singularity is the point beyond which events may become unpredictable or even unfathomable to human intelligence

Actually Lenin's ultimate goal was the mortification of the state. Revolution was just the start.

Marxism–Leninism as a philosophy and a political movement has been criticized over the years from widely different ideological currents, due to its relations with Stalinism, the Soviet Union, state repression in Marxist–Leninist run states and classical Marxism. Trotskyists claim that Marxism–Leninism led to the establishment of state capitalism. Others, such as philosopher Eric Voegelin, claims that Marxism–Leninism is in its core (as in the ideas of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels) inherently oppressive; claiming that the "Marxian vision dictated the Stalinist outcome not because the communist utopia was inevitable but because it was impossible".

Mao Zedong drew from the writings of Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels and Vladimir Lenin in elaborating his theory. Philosophically, his most important reflections emerge on the concept of "contradiction" (maodun). In two major essays, On contradiction and "On the correct handling of contradictions among the people", he adopts the positivist-empiricist idea (shared by Engels) that contradiction is present in matter itself (and thus, also in the ideas of the brain). Matter always develops through a dialectical contradiction: "The interdependence of the contradictory aspects present in all things and the struggle between these aspects determine the life of things and push their development forward. There is nothing that does not contain contradiction; without contradiction nothing would exist.

Red is the color of extremes. It's the color of passionate love, seduction, violence, danger, anger, and adventure. Our prehistoric ancestors saw red as the color of fire and blood – energy and primal life forces – and most of red's symbolism today arises from its powerful associations in the past.

The basic sin of marxism is that it constitutes a religion. Marxists have the truth is their hands, the way to the hapiness of the people, those that are against it are not tolerable, they are in fact criminals and their demise is of no importance or even necessary. Millions and millions were killed due to that and many more were enslaved and opressed. All this is based in the exertion of  force, of course, the enemies that don´t accept the paradise that will came( it´s allways in the future...A favorite lie of the holders of political power) will be taken cared of. Force is the everyday action of such a regime, an everyday crime. Comunim-Fascism- Nazism and so on, whats the difference between them in their opression? It´s just a matter of degree. The biggest murderer in the known history was Stalin ( Or was it Mao?...)not Hitler as most think and Stalin killed mostly people under his domain while Hitler provoked the death mostly of non germans during the war.
