Despite the fact that this book seems a little too challenging to our social system and too radical according to our culture, it is really so greatly written.  It sounds so true even today that I can't help rating it  five stars.  We are living in a democratic nation; however, sesorship seems  to shut me from talking too much about communism.  However, things in the  real world is not always divided into good and bad so clearly.  Yes, it is  so true that most communist, or so called, socialist, countries today or  sevral ten years ago are totalitariate, but I feel that this is not really  the fault of communist or giving the right to rule to the working class.  It is more likely that almost everyone has some sort of selfishness in  their heart even if they don't notice this.  Communism is based on sharing  and equality of everyone, thus no one would really enforce it; and at the  same time, no one can enforce anything inside a real communist country at  all because a real communist country actually has no social phase at all -  it is ruled by all the people, and therefore, no one actually rule over  anyone else.  Also, most communist rulers use their system to gain power  and advatages rather than regarding communism as something.  As well,  everything has its opposite.  Our opposite and enemy somehow is just a  competitor.  This competitor is just competiting with us, so we have no way  to say it good or bad - naturally.  Of course, we are going to rate it to  the worst basis because they (the rulers) rate us on teh same basis.  Any  way, this book is worth-reading.
