This article is a good one.This convincing document should be packaged in a bomb and dropped on countries that still believe in the political,economic, and social philosophies of Karl Marx, and Friedrich Engels( i.e. the Communist Manifesto ) to encourage revolution.A pure form of communism or socialism does not exist.These very ideals are born out of a person’s dreams of a better day.The American form of democracy is the closest thing to individual, and collective freedom there is.Americans believe in the ownership of property. We also believe in materialism ( i.e. the ownership of things )and we are not beggars. We are willing to work( i.e. use the sweat of our labor ) for the money to buy things.The ownership of things reward our mental and physical efforts, and also gives us a sense of accomplishment.Within the American political,economic, and social systems a person can advance from being poor to being rich in one generation.
