“A wonderful time will come when your wives wear silk dresses and high-heeled shoes. There will no longer be rich and poor. Everyone will be happy.” My mother would get to wear a silk dress, my sister would be in heels. I’d go to school…everyone would live like brothers and sisters, everyone would be equal. How can you not fall in love with a dream like that!

And, make no mistake about it, Communism is a religious faith as much as—if not more than—it's an economic or political system.
