: Communism is a contrivation of imperialism.

Hmmmm, yes, really, must be viscious communists to come along and abolish all government and end class in society. Damn them to buggery!

: The operative desire here is the "state" education system. I'll simply restate Marx and Engels' 10th point of communism: To provide for a free and universal state education system. Again, this is thinly vieled imperialism.

Hmmm, thats abysmal logic, sweetheart, for starters, just ebcause Marx & Engel's said that, doesn't mean:
1:That it is inherent solely to communism.
2:That it is wrong in practise.
I seem to recall Marx saying 'Look, the grass is green.' Does that make Green grass communist?

BTW- I assume tyou actually have a copy of the Manifesto, if you do, check out, I think, the Preface to the English 1880 edition, where Engels states that those proposals at the back of teh manifesto were aimed primarilly at 1848 Germany, and were provisional, and hat he wouldn't necessarilly endorse them now.

: In Christ, there are no worries. He is the Way, the Truth and the Light. With Him you have no need for an earthly kingdom. Without Him you have the false dependence on the earthly kingdom. That's hardly paranoia. The choice is yours. God Bless.
