“Communism as a ruling doctrine is a relatively recent phenomenon in historical terms, dating back just over a century — or, if we count parties bearing the name, such as the Communist League of Marx and Engels (c. 1847-48), about 175 years. But the idea of material or social equality lying at the heart of Communist theory traces back deep into antiquity, and it is worth examining the different strands of thought that have informed and inspired modern Communists.” (09/10/24)
