<p dir="ltr">I&nbsp;do not care is there&rsquo;s a god above<br /> If there is one, or three, or hundred thousand.<br /> I do not want to die for any god,<br /> Neither for the&nbsp;lord residing in his heaven,<br /> Nor for the tyrants of Olympus mount.<br /> I won&rsquo;t be slave to any one of them,<br /> For slavery must not exist at all!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The communism of early Christianity is merely a figment; it has never existed&hellip; The anarchism of Christianity is not of a very fine sort either&hellip;</p> &#169; Davyd ChychkanView
<p>The workers aware of their condition must stay solid and together, as they all have the same enemy that is the class of the rich, the capitalists living off workers&rsquo; labour.</p> &#169; Davyd ChychkanView
<p>It is clear that if the International Workers&rsquo; Association ever revives and becomes, if not worldwide, then at least Europe-wide, or if a similar new organization establishes itself, this will only happen after solid fellowships will be established throughout each country and the humankind itself. Those natural fellowships will comprise people brought together not just by the shared beliefs but by the shared work and neighbourship, the shared breed and language. And they will only unite in a wider or indeed worldwide association when they want to do so.</p> &#169; Davyd ChychkanView
<p>Thus, the Ukrainians need to fight for the federalisation of the existing states, Russia and Austria-Hungary. This would be the first step on the way to the extinction of states as such, to a governless system, the lordless and stateless one.</p> &#169; Davyd ChychkanView
<p dir="ltr">So can the future socialist community be considered anything similar to today&rsquo;s state?</p> <p dir="ltr">It absolutely cannot, as the future community will comprise people equal between themselves, working people who will, however, also be people of politics, similar to today&rsquo;s governors, but will only be paid what they will have earned through their work.</p> &#169; Davyd ChychkanView
<p dir="ltr">Does socialism contradict our patriotic feeling?</p> <p dir="ltr">Not at all. Moreover, any reproach of this sort is ridiculous. For it has already been said that socialism contradicts any arrogation, any oppression, be it between human beings or between peoples. Thus, when the freedom and unity of peoples takes reign, everyone will be able to develop their best life not being oppressed by the other, as is the case now. So we can argue, quite to the contrary, that truly free and decent development of every people can only be achieved under the socialist system, as it is the freest one and it ensures the material existence of people.</p> &#169; Davyd ChychkanView
<p>Socialism is an endeavour to eliminate any kind of social inequality, any kind of arrogation and poverty. It strives to create a happier and more just state system than is the present one by making it so that the current physical capital, that is, soils, factories, machinery and other equipment, as well as any commodity, would belong to the general public instead of being private property.</p> &#169; Davyd ChychkanView
