Oh, and Communism has never existed. The Soviet Union was a dictatorship under the guise of a Communist State. Communism is stateless, classless society. It's a nice idea, in a way, but it never has actually existed, and it really just can't work...
Methinks you are making stuff about republicans.

And your are correct the Soviet Union was not communist. It was unchecked progressivism.

Yes, i went to university and was indoctrinated with liberal lefty architecture! Lol. Apart from the actual subject of politics I don't see what it has to do with a university education.

Don't get into that discussion with the righties here, they do not have the capability to understand what you are saying. There has already been a long discussion on this subject and a huge chunk of the posts by several writers, including myself, had their posts deleted by the Mods because of the low level it attained from all sides. Trust me it is not worth the effort, it is beyond their understanding and you will only get called a communist for trying to explain why it does not work and that it has never truely existed in any country.

I even felt like I had to straighten out their thinking after making them think so seriously about the subject. The first thing I said to them was that they should have questioned the Dictator Proteleriat and even explained it as fully as I could and never a word from them. I didn't know about debriefing then but sure tried to do it without any knowledge about it because I was sure that I had convinced those kids of something I just didn't believe in.

Oh hell, I just broke a rule of one poster here who doesn't like to see people telling stories like that on the forum. Oh well.

Oh, please...

That's such transparent hogwash I'm surprised that you'd even bother to type it all.

You gave talk in a speech class 60 years ago and turned Kansas into a communist state. Right...

So, how does that explain your fear of professors?

LOL

Lawsuits that will be dismissed immediately.

You should familiarize yourself with the legal concept of "standing."

Aren't you guys the ones always complaining about frivolous lawsuits?

Hell I even broke the laws of nations in the late 50s intercepting radio messages of military people from Communist nations, like Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Russia, Hungary, and the rest of the Iron Countries. Proud of my service, I surely am. How about you?
Did you study McCarthyism as well? Sorry, but your "fear" of progressives, whom you equate with "communists," seems very extreme and outdated to me. Again, I'm not afraid of the "communist boogyman".....Plus, President Obama is NOT far left. lol He's really very moderate.
