The ones I have run into aren't brave enough to own up to it.
However they give themselves away when they spout the ideology from behind a cutesy id on an internet forum.
Hard to have a discussion with someone who is in denial or outright disingenuous.

What do you expect? Reading comprehension, like spelling, is not exactly the right's strong suit.

And check out the replies in this thread. They think everyone who doesn't agree with their extreme RW agenda must be a "commie"..lol

Who are these people? Family member, friend, co-worker, neighbor?? Every Communist you know is in the closet because they fear you or your response?

Something tells me I'm not going to get a straight answer.
I live in a strange town . Many Communists moved here years ago , they were artists .They had children who are now 60 something , many of them live here still. In my "opinion" artists don't always deal in reality , they are very nice to speak to so I have had conversations about communism with communists from my town who vote Democrat always. They are not your everyday fighting commies .
So , YES .
To me and them Communism is just a way of governing so its OK to call them that.

So they have actually admitted that they are "Communist" They have used these words or have you assumed these are Commies? These are neighbors?

If either of you had bothered to read all of the posts, sign was just responding to visvalis' misinterpretation of your post. So in essence, you are pointing out the obvious, that Upton, JoeyPants and visvaldis do not have strong reading comprehension skills.

Frank, who knew there were so many people from the 1950s who never got over the "communist thing".....hey, did you forget that we already won that war? Che and McCarthy are dead. Obama is NOT a socialist or a communist. You guys are just throwing out big words you don't understand.
