Nope. I know this may be hard for people like you, but there's this thing called nuance, where there are different shades of political thought. You have centre left, socialist and communist at the extreme. Intelligent people can tell the difference. Others...well, let's just say they struggle with that.

Call it what you want. Not believing that government is inherently evil does not = communism. Boy, the hyperbole around here is crazy today!

Open your ears then. All I hear from these loons is communist rhetoric. That makes one a supporter of communist ideals or just stupid and a sheep following the herd. I guess many of both stripe following along the "revolution".

Why do you start these dumb ass threads. The 1950's are gone stop bitc$ing and whining. Grow up.

I'll work for the "bereau of collecting old, prejudiced grumps"; who are now afraid to live life.

Oh really? Where, pray tell, are the people on this forum calling for an end to private property and the complete abolition of capitalism?

Again, centre left ideas does not = communism. You guys really should learn the meaning of nuance.

They're fun. I've also driven a Trabbi, a Dacia and Oti.

I remember 1984 was a banner year, because for the first time ever you got to choose the color of your Trabbi.

Normally, you'd go to the office (no such thing as car lots), fill out the forms, make the payments, and then when you finish paying off the car a few years later, they'd send you a postcard telling you where to go get it. You took whatever color came off the line at that time (red, green, blue or tan -- no white -- that requires titanium and no black -- that was for official use only).

Those who don't get put in one of them may do that. There will be more of them "taken" care of than will ever see it before it happens to them.
