In my early teen years i was a communist ,i am no longer a communist but still have a lot of respect for this great man karl marx.He was the one who taught the working class to know their true worth and stop getting abused by the hands of imperial capitalists.The impressive thing is he did so when no other man had the courage to go against their masters.He was punished ,exiled and faced hardships through out his life but eventually he became responsible for the collapse of many monarchs and the superpower soviet union.

Imagine there was land where you had 100 sheep, 100 horses, and 100 cars.
There are 5 people in the land.
Each person would get 20 sheep, 20 horses and 20 cars.

Imagine in your house you had 10 flat screen TV's, 10 bars of gold and 10 pillows. Other houses didn't.
You would lose 8 TV's, 8 bars of Gold and 8 pillows, giving them to the other 4 people.

You would also gain what others had and you didn't.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but that's communism in its purest form. No property or private ownership rather a 'A pool of resources you share'

That kind of society will only work on a village level society. Maybe on an outer planet colony where economy still not needed. But in today global economy environment, they are just a pipe dream.

it is interesting that this man who is revered by many working men as their spiritual guide never worked like a working man.

since communism cannot change the fact that human beings always have unequal share of blessings, it strives to make them to have equal share of miseries.

but the hardships this man faced surpassed the working class

that's why communists hate any idea of 'God', they deny divine right and blessing

What hardship? Though in exile, he lived in one of the richest countries in the world. He had all the time he needed to study in the library. He lived off his friend Engels. That is not hardship. That is my dream life, too, for I love reading as well. Had he ever considered working to support his own family? He also had a maid who helped running the family and with whom he had an illegitimate son. Tell me someone you know who is in life hardship and also has a maid.

No, they don't hate the idea of 'God'. They just want the role of 'God' for themselves. Being with communists, you will have a sense of how they love violence and power, the power that can control people's life and death. Violence is no only just used for self defense. It is for everything. They may be kind and nice in the beginning but the moment they lose patience, they will use violence to make things happen according to their own blueprint.

That illegitimate son bullshit is just a theory without any proof.He lived in richest countries but in poverty.
And Chinese bad mouthing communism is just ironic.

Considering the technologies available at the time, such a claim without admission of the involved parties is never certain. If you have evidence to disagree, I suggest you go ahead editing the wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helene_Demuth

In addition, do not associate Chinese with communism without a thought. Even though Chinese communist party rules the country for decades, the party itself is a complex mixture of communism and Chinese traditional pragmatism. It is certainly not a pure communist party. Through out its history, if you ever intend to learn, the moment it tried to lean towards theoretical communism, it faced difficulties, even dangers that threatened its own existence. The moment it set aside the communism and let pragmatism to reign, it was revitalized and regained the trust of Chinese people. The economical reform in the recent decades is a clear evidence. The ruling idea for the reform is to set aside the debate between socialism and capitalism and let market develop. That is absolutely against communism or Marxism by a communist party.

And if you have any DNA or other solid evidence ,i suggest you to come forward with it.

Nothing is perfect in theory and communism is no exception.If it was not a communism does not matter pure or not there is no sense in calling it a chinese communist party.The fact is today china is far away from democracy and the way things are imposed on chinese citizens is just like some communist police state.

Naming is often a funny business. Like academic fields, those that are called as science are often not science but something different, such as computer science, but nobody denies mathematics is a science. Anyway, the reason why many foreigners, particularly those specialized in political science (again, another non-science), misunderstand China is because they underestimate its complexity and are led astray by what is on the surface.

Marxist style aka orthodox communism is doomed to failure right fron the very beginning, simply because the fundamental pillars of its ideological core did not take into account a crucial aspect of human nature- and that is human greed.

Human Greed and Selfishness => desire for individual gain of resources => Meritocratic Capitalism

It is human nature to be selfish
It is human nature to be greedy
No one will complain of having too much resources(e.g money)

Marxism is at odds with this aspect of human nature, in that it promotes the idea that you work for everyone else in the community(that's why its called "Communism') and not for yourself(and your family)

Selfishness vs Selflessness.

This is is why State owned enterprises often underperform against private entities.

Actually it considered human greed. It just naively believes that through labor, it can be eradicated. Labor is communism's spiritual practice.
