Forgive me, but I must take issue with your first two sentences regarding communism being democratic and anti-state. This assumes everyone believes in communism and wants to live in that way. I assure you there are a great number of people in the world who find communism quite distasteful and blatantly naive and inconsiderate of human nature in every way. As such, the only way communism can function is if everyone in the system is in agreement with one another and wants the same things. Otherwise, it is a situation that would require, as many communist leaders
realized, a very powerful and heavy handed state to enforce very large
groups of people to conform to it’s ideals, and, as we saw in the last 100
years, it requires that state to ‘eliminate’ anyone who does not wish to
cooperate in order for the system to be able to function. Communism can
only succeed among groups of like minded individuals, and as such can
never be implemented, systematically, on a state level, without
eliminating, imprisoning, or banishing everyone who simply disagrees with
the system. Conversely, under ‘capitalism’ (which is really a misnomer, because it assumes people living under other systems ie communism
cannot capitalize off of the system, which of course they can) or ‘free
enterprise’ as I like to refer to it, people are free to form communes
among their likeminded peers if they wish to. Free enterprise, on the state
level, forces no one to participate in capitalism who does not wish to. So
I say to you, you are free to be a communist if you like, only please be
courteous enough to allow me to not participate in communism, and allow
me and my ilk to live as we wish.
