Endowed with curiosity and freedom-orientation, “Communism” is not an acceptable ideology for a huge number of people. The reason why it is, any more, a largely acceptable ideology, because it obstructs human innate stereotype (curiosity and freedom). However, one fact is still caching behind: “everyone is communist.”

Again, in communist countries, law as well as other administrative steering wheels are used to limit human freedoms to the very dim potential. This means that human civil rights and liberties (right to expression, protection, equal pay for equal work, non-discrimination, etc) as well as other human dignities are, to some extent, obstructed. This is the fact that makes most of us hate communism, because we wish to live to the highest potential. Shockingly, I dare to say that “everyone in this world is communist”, because it is human nature.

First and foremost thing, because all of us want success. Success, in this sense, refers to reaching the destined point, with or without hindrance(s). Our communist mindset already lies behind our urgency to success.

The case that we would love to reach our goal within the timeframe and without any barricade is our “communism endowment.” Let’s make it simplistic. Communism would try any possibility to prevent the smooth administration of the government. To guarantee this smooth administration, demonstration, criticism, public-opinion pressure, interest groups and social expression from any political animal (citizen) would not be allowed or allowed to the very limited. All of us want this! This means that if you are the country leader, you want this (smooth flow of administration without protest)! And if you want success as stipulated above, you do not want any barricade in any position of your way to success. “Everyone is communist by nature”

Even the democratic country is communist, why? Physically seen that they allow freedom to expression; above all, any freedom set fourth in the Universal Declaration of human right and other international human right instrument, but in fact, they never want our protest; protest against their decision to be occurred. Remember, there is always a smiling news conference after any policy of the government is passed without protest from the law-making institution.

This article does not perspire to orient the readers to democratic or communist ideology, but just intends to reveal one truth of human stereotype. I still believe that living in the democratic world is unconditionally better than the communist state, but knowing human truth would better human interaction as well as human struggle in this diverse world.
