No Idea is more valid than its Premise, if the Premise is Bogus the Idea is Bogus.
The Premise of Communism
The Stated Premise upon which the Methods and the Goals of Communism are based, as derived by the literal interpretation of Marx’s Manifesto, is that the “problem with the world” is the Economic and Social Inequity between those who “have” and those who “have not.” This supposedly has been manifest throughout the History of Society by the existence of various Economic Classes and the Struggles between them.
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.” – (The Communist Manifesto, Section 1: Bourgeois and Proletariat)
This is reiterated by none other than Mao Zedong;
“Classes struggle, some classes triumph, others are eliminated. Such is history, such is the history of civilization for thousands of years. To interpret history from this viewpoint is historical materialism; standing in opposition to this viewpoint is historical idealism.” -(“Cast Away Illusions, Prepare for Struggle” (August 14, 1949), Selected Works, Vol. IV, p. 428.)
“In class society everyone lives as a member of a particular class, and every kind of thinking, without exception, is stamped with the brand of a class.” -(“On Practice” (July 1937), Selected Works, Vol. I, p. 296.)

Therefore, the Stated Goal of Communism is to eliminate the existence of the “haves” and the “have nots” (sic) by the equitable redistribution of Mammon (i.e. Wealth, Power, Materials, Capital, etc…), thereby dissolving the notion of “Class” and eventually removing the need for Representative Government.
“Just as capitalism replaced feudalism, Marx believed socialism will, in its turn, replace capitalism, and lead to a stateless, classless society called pure communism.” – (From Wikipedia via the Critique of the Gotha Program and a Letter from Karl Marx to Joseph Weydemeyer)
“A Marxist begins with his prime truth that all evils are caused by the exploitation of the proletariat by the capitalists. From this he logically proceeds to the revolution to end capitalism, then into the third stage of reorganization into a new social order of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and finally the last stage — the political paradise of communism.” – Saul Alinsky (Rules for Radicals p. 10)
The Premise of Communism, the “Prime Truth”, from which its Goals and Methods are derived, can be analyzed and soundly refuted by The Proto Criteria.
When any doctor misdiagnoses a condition and prescribes the wrong treatment, he is guilty of malpractice. Karl Marx, the Father of Modern Communism, has misdiagnosed the condition of Humanity and prescribed the wrong treatment – he is guilty of the most egregious form of malpractice, and so are all those who follow and propagate his teachings. Ultimately, every left-wing political endeavor and idea will prove to be utterly Futile, Worthless, and Invalid.
Communism will fall victim to its own principle of Dialectics, for if the history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles, it is also the history of bad ideas versus good ideas, and the Truth versus Prevarications.
The Condition that plagues Mankind (that Marx so miserably failed to identify) is not that some people have and some people don’t, but that all people Die.
Mortality is the Bane of all Human Existence.
Every endeavor or praxis of Man is concerned or related with the ramifications incurred by Death.
“Man must fight to stay alive, he must struggle to survive.”
Because people are Mortal, Scarcity exists. Because Scarcity exists, Economies exist. Because Economies exist, Economic Classes and Governments exist.
He who would prescribe a solution for the world’s problems must Solve for Death.
Communism ignorantly prescribes a world-wide solution for something that is merely a quaternary symptom of the real problem. That is equivalent to a doctor telling a patient that if they cover their melanoma with makeup, their cancer will go away. The Communist not only effectually says this, he believes it.
The Reputed Goals of Communism can never be achieved because its Methods ignore the real problem that Mankind is Mortal. There is no Solution for Death in the confiscation and redistribution of Mammon. The “problems” the Communist Process allegedly seeks to extinguish will always re-emerge because they are ultimately caused by Mortality. The principles of Evolution dictate that life is a survival of the fittest – the strong shall rule the weak and the brave shall consume the faint-hearted. Governments and Social Classes will always reform themselves after they’ve been dissolved because they are part of the natural consequences of Evolution and Death.
Inequality and Injustice are merely Symptoms of Mortality, and they will never be eliminated unless the Problem of Mortality is addressed.
This FACT renders the Stated Premise, Methods, and Goals of Communism Worthless and Invalid. Every Left-Wing and Communist Endeavor, as implemented and practiced, is equivalent to striving for a Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow; Impractical, Irrational, and Impossible. This also proves that Marx was not the philosophical genius his proponents make him out to be – when you claim to have solutions for the problems of Humanity, and in assessing the cause of those problems you miss the Elephant in the Room, you’re not that intelligent. Neither is Communism the Hope of the World. The transfer of the ownership of the Means of Production from one group to another will NEVER result in Equality, Justice, and Liberty for the Human Race, it will only perpetuate the World as it already is; full of hate and jealousy with no internal regard for the Sanctity of Human Life or the Principles of Love. In fact, the endeavors of Communism will more likely result in either a Dystopian nightmare ruled by a Solitary World Tyrant, or an Anarchical wasteland resembling the world of Mad Max in the Road Warrior.
If World Peace was Marx’s true ambition, he was nothing more than a pitiful buffoon and the System he left behind as his legacy is a Total Farce.
Since Mortality is Man’s ultimate Dilemma, the disregard of Human Life is Man’s greatest Atrocity.
Therefore The Proto Criteria comes forth to Champion the Cause of Human Life, for the Universal Establishment of the Right to Life (beginning at Conception) is the ONLY legitimate and practical means to bring about Justice, Equality, and Liberty for the entire Human Race. Without the Right to Life, none of these things will ever truly exist.
Communism insists that in order to achieve “world peace” we must endure periods of Sedition and Subterfuge, filled with gross violations of Human Rights, bloody rebellions, fascist dictators, and corrupt politicians. This is utterly ignorant and intellectually vapid, not to mention psychopathic and perverse.
The Proto Criteria can achieve Equality, Justice, and Liberty for the entire Human Race (all the so-called goals of Communism) without any of the Sedition or Subterfuge. The Right to Life can be implemented immediately, free of charge and without conditions, and all the People of the World could finally unite under One Common Principle.
The Right to Life is the Light of All Mankind; it is the Preeminent Principle, the First Consideration; the Proto Criterion. There is nothing greater or more important than the Right to Life.
The irrefutable Premise of the Proto Criteria is that Death is the Problem and Life is the Solution; that the Evil Triumvirate of a Callous Disregard for the Sanctity of Human Life, Deceit, and Hivism is the Terminal Disease and that the Holy Hierarchy of a Passionate Regard for the Sanctity of Human Life, Truth, and Autonomy is the Everlasting Cure.
