Individual Worthless Under Communism

Observation one: You Marxists maintain that the working classes are "exploited" by the capitalist for profit. In a Communist society, people have no individual worth or value apart from their value as a productive unit for the state; they are given education and health care to make and maintain more and more efficient and capable units of production, not for the purpose of the full development of the individual as a person. They exist for nothing but the use and glorification of the state. In other words they are exploited for their labour by the state, the very practise for which you condemn capitalism, and urge the revolutionary fight for a Communist state.

Observation two: Peter Wilson said recently at a Forum he thought it just fine if capitalists were taken out and shot. Strange behaviour from one whose beliefs are supposed to stem from his concern for humanity, for the dignity of man, for the alleviation of oppression and injustice etc. etc. Has he not heard we don't even take a man's life for murder now, not even the life of mass murderers like Manson, yet for what he calls "exploitation" a man can be just taken out and shot? Shows how much he really cares about human respect and justice, when you take him from abstract masses of people to specific individuals. When you get down to specifics, the only individuals who have any worth are those whom it suits the Marxists to attribute value to, which means anyone who agrees with them or at least doesn't strongly disagree with their ideas.
