We should give them the true "communist" experience. We should set up Gulag like labor camps in northern Alaska and send them there

I agree. And while we're at it, let's tax everyone who has ever attended a Tea Party rally 100 percent of their income and assets. That will teach people to question the government!

The difference is:


the tea party doesn't want to pay more taxes... the socialists want socialism....

The "socialists" want less socialism of the corporate bailout variety. Why is that a bad thing?

Oh, you mean you want to do what the right always claims Obama wants to do, sneaky.
I have a better idea, neither group gets what they want.

That's not true communism.

Nor are the protesters asking for communism.

Socialism=/=communism.

Speaking of "difference", the OP said "Communism" and you are saying "Socialism". Further proof that the right wing rhetoric spewers have no idea of what they are talking about.

As for the Tea Party, the representatives that they voted into government took an oath and made a pledge to Grover ****ing Norquist, a Washington lobbyist, so instead of serving and representing the good of the average American, the nation as a whole and the Constitution, they became puppets for the uber-rich and Corporate America. So much for that. So, according to you, when people demand that their reps work for the people, they are Communist Socialists that have no gripe as long as the top one percent are served. Yeah Right! Good luck with that asinine concept.

BTW...I suggest that you and the OP learn the word OLIGARCY, as that is what the OWS protestors are rallying against.

Communism and Socialism are basicly the same thing. People on the far left know that Communism and Marxism are seen as bad so they are using the term Socialist instead to seem more mainstream and drop the bad PR but keeping all the same views.
