Why don't you read Communist Manifesto again? Can't you see clearly that it is a perfect blueprint for a totalitarian society, of a "1984" type? How many years have the people persist, before they are allowed to be enslaved by one Party again?
How would *you* like to live in sect-like community, where evrybody was Ordered to be equal, where the family was abolished and kids raised communaly? (yes, it is all there, in the Manifesto)
And once you have "the Proletariate" running everything, would not it be this new "dictatorship of the proletariate" mere establishment of new rulers-apparatschiks, and with teror and misery without end?
The only think that revolucionaries are good for, is creating war and poverty.
