This is a group for the Marxists/Communists/Socialists in Kansas City. Those who are here believe in true Marxism, not State-Capitalist (The State-Capitalists are Stalinism, Maoism and the rest). In other words, we believe:

*The people must lead themselves.

*All property will be in the hands of all people; there is to be no private property.

*Elimination of classes

*The monetary unit must be abolished and recognized as a form of oppression used by the capitalist.

*The statement: "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need."

*Democracy in industry and government.

*Those who claim to lead us to Communism do not know what Communism is, as the people must educate themselves and bring about the change themselves.

*Communism must lead towards and take place in a border-free, state-free world.

*There can be no special treatment based on race, religion, etc.

*Religion cannot be used to make decisions for the whole community, but individual belief in religion is in no way wrong, and it would be oppression to consider otherwise.
