New tat? political? help!
I take it you have not seriously studied communist theory. Communism is "a conjectured future classless, stateless social organization based upon common ownership of the means of production". Communism, if it actually existed anywhere, would recognize and celebrate each person's individuality, rather than turning people into a bunch of Nike-wearing, Coke-drinking automatons slaving away their lives for the profit of an elite few.

However, it's clear from history however that "socialist" leaders are just as unwilling to give up power as capitalist leaders are, and they tend to just appropriate the means of production for themselves instead of letting them be run by the people. If anything actually resembling communism actually came to be, the government would have to be abolished right off the bat, such as happened in Catalonia in the 1930s for example.
I wouldn't get the tattoo myself since I'm not a Marxist or a Leninist, but if you think it really represents you, go ahead and get it. Just be really sure that you are a Marxist-Leninist and you plan to stay that way.Oneironaut Reviewed by Oneironaut on . New tat? political? help!
