Why is Carl Marx's definition of capitalism under the "Marxist" section not used? Marx defined Capitalism specifically as the debt market. Communism was very much a "market" theory to Marx. To Marx (and many other of his peers) the dividing line was the debt market, and the ability for people to own one another.
To use a revised definition of capitalism in the text is bias.
The information in the Wiki is wrong. If I knew how to change it myself, I would. I recently read many letters between Marx and Engel circa 1840-1880 (available on line at Marxist.org). The description of Communism in the letters is nothing like the "Communism" of the Soviet Era. Moreover Sovietism is very much like the early "Communist" populist movements that existed during Marx's life. Movements which Marx directly opposed.
According to the letters, Communism lacks a Central government. It is a confederacy where common resources is not held by the government or by the private. Secondly, it lacked political parties instead relying on local communes to communicate the people's will. Evidence of this can be found in Marx's ranting against Unions, and how they were no better then the Burgers they replaced. A modern day literal example of communism can be found in the American Militia movement (not kidding).
Secondly, Socialism would have a two party system. This is because we would oppose ourselves from one of the two collective ideologies. The Hume Dialect if you will
Lastly, I strongly suggest spliting this section into two. Maxist Communism and Soviet Communism. --SimpleNick (talk) 12:53, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
