Right wingers have been going crazy over this off handed comment. I am guessing both Garcia and everyone up in arms over this has no idea what communist means, or now magically all the right wingers who think we need to protect our borders have all become communists.

Pardon me? Do you think we don't need to protect our borders?

Do you know what communism is? Seems doubtful. Are you aware there seems to be a 'movement' (if you will) of young, shall we call them "idiots"[?], who advocate for "Full communism now!"?

Do you think communism is a good and workable system?

It was more than an "offhand comment".

These are his words..(from OP link). He is advocating that government control all the jobs.


“Two of the safest cities in America are on the border with Mexico. Of course, the reason is we’ve proved that communism works," he added.

He continued by citing the number of government jobs, which he said reduces crime.

"If you give everybody a good government job, there is no crime,” he explained.

Honestly, while I know there are some people who support or have supported Communist movements around the World, virtually all of those regimes have failed dismally. I've never before heard reference to a "Full communism now!" movement in the USA. Never. I just did a quick search online for more informaiton, but was unsuccessful in finding any reference to it ... other than someone selling t-shirts with some sort of reference to Communism. Anyone have a link to references about the 'movement'? Thanks.

Didn't seem offhand to me. He stated it, then reaffirmed it.

Pretty definite.
parents.
Garcia is an idiot. Especially coming from the son of Cuban refugees.

We have been saying this for years now. The Obama election was a communist revolution.

Seeing that border patrols are people working for the government, yeah, I support having those be government jobs, don't you?

And we liberals have been laughing at those that say that the entire time because it is clear to us you guys have no clue what communism is other than you think it means government jobs.

In that case we should disband the entire military, don't want to look too communist.

Not really communist, but it is true, if everyone is working there is less need to commit crimes. I am not saying everyone should have a government job, just saying more jobs means less crime in the simple sense.
