I don't see any youth in America identifying with communism. I do see people calling themselves in the U.S.calling themselves neo-Nazis.
Are you intentionally obtuse?

Seems some of you need to brush up on the meaning of communism and learn the difference between that and a policy that might have a socialist slant.

Big difference.

They exist. But "so popular among youth of today", seriously? I'm willing to bet there are more bronies than Communists.

Commies > Bronies

And it pains me to say that as a staunch individualist.

I too can find an internet link for any group or anything.

I said I don't see young people identifying as communists - and I don't. I don't see any evidence for the OP that communism/Marxism is popular among youth. However, I saw plenty of people unabashedly identifying themselves as Nazis. They were marching with tiki torches last Saturday.
The idiots tearing down the statue in Durham were Worker's World Party which is communist. They were marching with large Worker's World Party banners. Open your eyes.

The purpose of the OP is to scare the alt-right to shore up support for Trump.

Discussing this thread in any manner other than showing the purpose of the OP accomplishes that goal.

Communism is indeed good for the poorest, and good for those who do not have many expectations in their life.

My parents lived in "communist China (Mao's era)". My father is a son of a construction worker, but he managed to go to college for free.
My parents got an apartment for free, have free healthcare, and never need to worry about losing their job, because the government does not fire people.

However, the premise is you are just an ordinary joe following the government's policies. If you are willing to make some changes, that is not your cup of tea.

Not all countries are the same. We have socialist concepts and programs in this country. You are aware of this, yes?

There are a great number of countries in Europe with socialist programs that function perfectly fine.

Last I checked, these are not communist/marxist dictatorships.
1. communism/Marxism/socialism/fascism don't require dictators

2. there has yet to be a true communist country...even the former USR and "red" China were not true communism, they were socialist


modern American liberals are the same as the European fascists/socialists of the 1930's

socialism/fascism/marxism/communism/naziism/American liberalism all sisiters all stem from the progressive movement

the fact is the progressive movement started in the late 1880's from it spawn modern liberalism, Marxism, communism, socialism, nazi-ism, and fascism. everyone of those ism's is left of center

fascism which is what was in 1930's Italy AND Germany is socialism lite. modern AMERICAN liberalism is a spin off of socialism/Nazi-ism/ and fascism.... our American liberals are not the liberals of "classic liberalism" which in today's America would be libertarianism, our modern American liberals spew the same rhetoric as the fascists and Nazi's and socialists of 1930's Europe.

Mussolini was a Marxist, who developed his brand of marxism/socialism... he called it fascism..
As an ardent admirer of Marx, Benito Mussolini called his version of Marxist socialism "Fascism". Instead of nationalization--government ownership--of private business, Mussolini advocated government control of business via complete bureaucratic regulation.

Quote:
""Fascism is a system in which the government leaves nominal ownership of the means of production in the hands of private individuals but exercises control by means of regulatory legislation and reaps most of the profit by means of heavy taxation. In effect, fascism is simply a more subtle form of government ownership than is socialism."" Mussolini
hmm high taxes...super control (authoritarian) by regulations...sounds like the American liberals to anyone with common sense

Hitler brought his version of fascism to Germany
Quote:
We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions." --Adolf Hitler
everyone of them hate and wish to stop capitalism

Quote:
"A Marxist/Fascist/Liberal begins with his prime truth that all evils are caused by the capitalists. From this he logically proceeds to the revolution to end capitalism, then into the third stage of reorganization into a new social order of socialism, and finally the last stage -- the political paradise of communism." Saul Alinsky
lets look at the gun issue that liberals push

so the idea of the fascist liberals it to BAN, ""all assault-style rifles, handguns, and any gun with a capacity of over five"" and ""ammunition is not covered under 2A. It could be banned completely in private hands""

why do the fascist liberals want to do like the fascist Nazi's and the Stalinists' of the USSR and take guns away???

why are the fascist liberals so stern on having the totalitarian government like they always push for

"""This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilised nation has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!""" A. Hitler

""""In relation to the political decontamination of our public life, the government will embark upon a systematic campaign to restore the nation’s moral and material health. The whole educational system, theater, film, literature, the press and broadcasting – all these will be used as a means to this end."""" A. Hitler


Quote:
"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subordinate people to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subordinate people to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or native police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order throughout the occupied Russian territories, and a system of military strong-points must be evolved to cover the entire occupied country." --Adolf Hitler, dinner talk on April 11, 1942, quoted in Hitler's Table Talk 1941-44: His Private Conversations

"Gun registration is not enough. Waiting periods are only a step. Registration is only a step. The prohibition of private firearms is the goal." Janet Reno

Quote:
"A system of licensing and registration is the perfect device
to deny gun ownership to the people." Vladimir Ilyich Lenin

"Our task of creating a socialist America can only succeed
when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed." Sarah Brady

Quote:
"There is no reason for anyone in this country -- anyone except a police officer or military person -- to buy, to own, to have, to use a handgun. The only way to control handgun use in this country is to prohibit the guns." Bill Clinton

Quote:
"We're bending the law as far as we can
to ban an entirely new class of guns." Rahm Emmanuel
[the anti-gun people (and yes many are liberals) never can figure out that they are hurting the law abiding citizens, because crooks/criminals/scum dont care about the laws or restrictions on getting a gun


Communist Rules for Revolution:

1. Corrupt the young; get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial; destroy their ruggedness.
2. By specious argument cause the breakdown of old moral virtues; honesty, sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness.
3. Encourage civil disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of government toward such disorders.
4. Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance.
5. Get people's minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books, plays, and other trivialities.
6. Get control of all means of publicity.
7. Destroy the people's faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up to contempt, ridicule and obloquy (disgrace).
8. Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext, with a view to confiscation and leaving the population helpless.





yep liberals (fascists) and their goal to disarm the people
