I was interested to hear recently that you sympathize, or even support communist ideas and principles. I would like to hear more about your thoughts on the matter. I know you like to write so as to make your blog appealing to the largest number of readers, but personally I would like to hear what persuaded you to adopt such a controversial social philosophy. I want to be forth coming with the fact that I don't subscribe to communism or socialism, and that if followed to their end I don't think that you or anyone would agree that the outcome was desirable, and we have many examples of this in history.

I actually talked at length about this with my mom over the holiday. Many disapprove of my sympathizing with communism and I understand why. While I do very much support the ideas behind communism, I also understand that human beings are greedy and not to be trusted. If they were trustworthy and really good to the core, I think it would definitely make for a wonderfully non-violent and utopious society.
I know we'll see communism practiced successfully sometime in the future--and if I'm not alive to see it then I'll have to look into socialism because it still sounds better to me then what I see around me every day.
Some are so rich they spend $200k on a child's 16th birthday party and others are so poor they die of hunger. To me, that doesn't sound like a successful way to exist.
