i didn't read all of it,

communism evil? i'm currently reading some on it, it doesn't sound to bad, i disagree with some but strongly agree with others, in many ways i am a commodity to be sold or to be left to starve, less so now then then, but i still feel the system forceing me to my knees, so i shall try to rise in wealth, gain power, turn the world around, it'll be nice to provide for everyones basic needs, but i don't think having a dictatorship will cultivate the mindset neccassarry for such a sociaty, actually all one would need to do is show and presuade influntial and powerfull people the benifits to them(since i think in general man is a selfish chemical machine). i hate selling my time, an hour of my dedication is the value of 6.50 right now, less then a movie ticket, less then a healthy meal at a restraunt. im saving now for a computer, trying to learn more, trying to see if i can create a value generating system that requires little maintance. it might be a few years off, but i figure i better start while im a dependent, that way i can save and gather money, you got to have money to make money. i have my dreams, but the current system has me potentially working 1/3 of my life doing something i hate just to get by, somthing doesn't seem right, if change is going to come it has to come smartly, i think technology and education will play a big part, technology and robotics provide for cheap labor, updateing systems and what not should allow for more freedom and such, anybody see what im saying?
