少年十五二十時曾經对 共產主义 滿怀理想！以意是建立 烏托邦 的基石！

如今年紀一把對 共產主義 的理想徹底幻滅！

Same here, I read most of the works by Karl Marx, Frederic Angels, Lenin and Mao's,
and a lot of documents translated from Russian back in 60-70's, 2,000 books in all. My uncles from both of my parent side were lifetime Communists,  my father's brother was killed counter combating Japanese and my mother's in-law participated in Liberating Hai-Nan. I was activitist in Protect Our Diu-Yu Islands, Anti-Corruption, Youth Against Drug  ..... Hong Kong student movements back in early 70's.
I witness the corruption and fall of Communist Empire since then.
It is nothing wrong with the original communism ideology, I actually admire the early CCP martyrs killed by Chiang,  it is the corruption and  dictatorship after the CCP took over regime that change me forever.

Communism at its ideology state is what Confucius and Dr. Sun Yat Sen advocated:
The Great harmony (Tai-Tung),
The State belongs to all citizen
it is our ultimate goal for 5,000 years as Chinese
Mencius pledged:
The People are precious
The Social Structure go second
The Head of State only plays a small role
It was the corruption of CCP and tyrannical political system  that changed me

Power and rank hierarchy corrupt politicians.
In PRC, there is absolute power not to be challenged.
In democratic India, the mid-level politicians are not educated enough
to understand the substance of politic and their mission as governors,
they merely use their position to grab money and, well, more power.
Similar situation happen in China as well

I have had my hands on hundreds of CCP  classified documents in China,
and my family possess certificates signed by Mao right here. That's enough
to tell the next generation what CCP is all about.
You can choose not to believe, doesn't bother me a bit.
Oops, revealing National secret to foreigners, the CCP may kidnap me
back to China and charge me for treason>

Give me a valid reason to love communism.
I chose to ignore CCP's muppets, I hardly reply to them.
