Communism is in conflict with human nature.

Communism is in conflict with human nature.

Summary

This quote suggests that communism as an ideology is fundamentally incompatible with human nature. It suggests that communism, which revolves around the idea of collective ownership and common good, clashes with the innate qualities and tendencies of human beings. Human nature often encompasses elements such as individualism, self-interest, and the desire for personal gain, which contradicts the ideals of communism. This perspective suggests that communism's emphasis on collective ownership and suppressive role of private property goes against the inherent characteristics and drives of human beings.

Fantasy is escapism, but wait... Why is this wrong? What are you escaping from, and where are you escaping to? Is the story opening windows or slamming doors? The British author G.K. Chesterton summarized the role of fantasy very well. He said its purpose was to take the everyday, commonplace world and lift it up and turn it around and show it to us from a different perspective, so that once again we see it for the first time and realize how marvelous it is. Fantasy - the ability to envisage the world in many different ways - is one of the skills that make us human.
