NightTrain said:You're wrong about Commies believing all men are equal.
Human rights & equal rights have absolutely nothing to do with Communism.
I see the stretch you're trying to make, but you're completely off base.
NightTrain said:To say that Equal Rights stems from Communism is completely preposterous..
As a social system, communism is a type of egalitarian society with no state, no private property and no social classes. In communism, all property is owned by the community as a whole, and all people enjoy equal social and economic status. Perhaps the best known principle of a communist society is "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need".
Seems pretty equal to me, I don't think anyone is saying that equal rights stem from communism but it is a Communist principle.
From Dictionary.com
A system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people.
