So, there are a couple possible originators of that quote... 1 - Marx, who, obviously, was a Communist, in which case your statement is wrong 2 - Joseph Smith, who founded a classless commune. I think that invalidates your comment as well. Is there someone else who you are thinking of as an originator who was "anything but a communist" as you put it? I'm more than willing to listen if there is.
