Which would you rather live under?

I think the most ironic thing is that both of these philosophies essentially seek the same thing when taken to their ends: anarchist utopia.

Anarchy is the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of communism. Anarchy means NO GOVERNMENT; communism however, is GIANT GOVERNMENT.


PS
Give me LIBERTY or give me death.

padfoot is talking about Marx's Communist ideal, not Stalinism.

indeed I am.  Also, to clear things up a little more, I once read an article in which the ideal libertarian state was presented as a society where there are only two laws:  Thou shalt not offend and Thou shalt not be easily offended.  The article went a little further than that but you get the basic idea.

Thus when I say that the ultimate goal of both libertarianism and communism is anarchist utopia the ideas above are the ones I am referring to.
