the op doesn't know what he's talking about if that's what he means, since communism isn't statism, and your ventriloquizing suggests the same for you. his barely coherent rant doesn't suggest a very deep level of understanding of any of the issues involved.

You just convinced me that I don't understand some of what you were talking about. Do you have a great manner of enforcing communist thinking in the US without government to force it? Somehow that seems too much like statism, to me.

Collectivists can't refute the facts so they resort to name calling and disparaging remarks.

Alright, alright, you pin him down, while I go get Joe Mccarthy outta the vault.

There is nothing communist about this country. So stop watching Glenn Beck before your heads implode.

it depends on your grasp of communist thinking. fyi real communism is stateless, and has yet to be reached. if you mean statist, say statist. communism is a loaded term in american political discourse, and i love how people fall back on it when they just want to say something is "bad" but they don't actually know what in the world they're talking about. even real socialism would involve a decrease in the powers of the state, since the workers would own the means of production.

Apparently the century where we should blindly stop questioning the motives of those that hold power over us. And cease to use our constitutional right to free speech. Because somebody else already covered the subject matter, with a different cast of characters in the last century. Can you say...shortsighted?

Yachtcare has spoken.......

Get rid of all the Democrats and we get rid of the communists. They are the seed of destruction.
