Karpiński Family
Karpiński (; meaning "of Karpin") is one of the Polish families of the heraldic clan that used the Korab coat of arms. Their family motto is: "For the greater glory of God". The family lay claim to the title of count as early as the 13th century. However, in what is considered the most authoritative work on the Polish nobility—that of Simon Konarski and , who point out that the polish nobility based on the clan system resisted the use of titles until as late as the 17th Century and those that were acquired after this time (especially during the partitions of Poland) were not of Polish origin. No trace of the use of this title for the family or clan can be found in Counts of Galicia and Poland.M. MacLagan in The English Historical Review, Vol. 74, No. 292 (Jul., 1959), pp. 548-549 published by Oxford University Press The title it was claimed originated in 1242 when Zbislaw of Wieluń (or Wielen) of Korab coat of arms became Voivod (Wojewoda) Palatinus Count Palatine or K ...

Communism (from Latin la, communis, lit=common, universal, label=none) is a far-left sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology and current within the socialist movement whose goal is the establishment of a communist society, a socioeconomic order centered around common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange which allocates products to everyone in the society.: "One widespread distinction was that socialism socialised production only while communism socialised production and consumption."
