Sujre, let's ban communists. We should also ban white nationalists, the KKK, etc. Oh, does this not work for you now? I wonder why.

Nope. Ideas should not be banned here is the US.

do they even teach in history books the atrocities of Communism today or do they glorify it like they have been doing on colleges?

Did you yourself ever take the oath? Did you serve?

No. Free speech should stand on it's own. Nothing should be censored for the sake of offending anyone. Grow a thick skin and man up.

I noticed you didn't mention "black lives matter" protesters in your reply.. different sides of the same coin.. KKK in sheep's clothing. In any case, I wouldn't "ban" them either. "Banning" is for authoritarians, regardless of political affiliation.

Can anyone here point to an example where a Communist Party of America member...... has EVER been elected to ANY level of government in America ? I don't think so.


Come on , cite one example of the above having happened in the USA... ?

Communism is an economic theory, so please explain in a little detail on how that threatens the Constitution.

Communism as a political ideology, please explain in a little detail how that is a threat to the Constitution.

The Communist party is technically banned in the US, but it has never been enforced, and if it was, the ban would be ruled unconstitutional.

Sure, but only if we also outlaw the far right Freedom Caucus loons, White nationalists, and Neo-Nazis too.
