...your paper is doomed.  You can't distinguish between what communism is supposed to be and what has to be done to make the system work in real life.  In RL, it's called communism but with corruption and dissenters, it's not truly communism anymore.  It's the bastard child of something else.

Most Communist countries have devolved into Dictatorships, often not very long into their runs.  Which is highly authoritarian, and often horrible for the masses, they are supposedly sharing and caring for.  

But, the original point is, a quote used in a piece of literature does not imply a person's political beliefs.

Sigh, are you reading the same novel I am? Or just not interpreting it?

If we remember history, Russia which participated in WW1 ended up leaving early in the war. The large amount of casualties in WW1 created a weakness in Russia allowing the communists to use it as leverage and get support for their revolution against nobility. Thus, Russia had to bail out of WW1 because it risked collapsing from the inside.

What the MC in DD is doing is similar, yes. It's not about being communist or not, it is called strategy. There are multiple human countries he is fighting against. He is trying to spark something similar to a communist revolution in those countries to weaken the power of nobility so that he can take over the countries easier.

It ain't about whether MC or author believes in communism or not. He is simply using it to weaken his enemies.


But rest assured, in our world, the final form of government will be a form of communism

Not exactly, since every country that has had communist governments had a leader. If there is no leader, that would be anarchy, which doesn't really work out. And the word king is interchangeable with other names for leaders

Indeed. Just like everyone knows that flying kites during the autumn equinox in the vicinity of Stonehenge is directly related to the number of traffic accidents perpetrated by 6 fingered redheads in New York.

Look, the main point is that when someone is using a certain quote or whatever, that doesn't mean that they share the same view. It's just for his story. Just ignore the last part if you can't take a joke. Dumbfucks.
