just becuase you made such an idiotic comment, i am going to have to elaborate

The reason i say that america idolizes communism is because, in brute fact, our education system loves to teach that communism is a perfect system. You will find that most highschool and college textbooks, either totally based on the teachings of communism or in part, begin with the line "Communism is a perfect system." It is actually fascinating how many people will recite that very sentence, even though it has very little meaning.

Some of these books will elaborate, "Communism works perfect in theory", again, this has very little meaning.

Every time I hear this line recited i just want to say "I wonder, what do you think the 3 million people killed during the height of communism in the USSR would have to say about that?"

It is quite obvious that communism is not a perfect system, yet for some strange reason, america likes to teach an abstract version of communism and then make abstract assumptions about it. I am still not quiet sure as to why this is done, but i would assume that it is done to agree with the democratical views of the 1930's leading into World War II.

I still find it very ironic that american loves to say "Communism is perfect" and still finds time to denounce socialism and nazism. The irony lies in the fact that communism is all about controlling your own people, where as socialism is all about forcing your views on to others. Which sounds more like america's point of view of "spreading democracy" in a militaristic fashion (in most cases)

I am not critisizing any aspect of the american political machine but simply how un-educated people are about communism, or, how people are unable to see the irony.

but congrats on your ability to steriotype, you've proved so much.

I think it was more than 3 million... Stalin madly exterminated his own people, anybody he thought might be working against him. My history is a little rusty, but I believe it was 8 million or so that he murdered. He killed all of his top commanders right before Hitler invaded... good move, joey.

Communism isn't the perfect system, becuase if it was, why hasn't it spread like wildfire and stayed in place? It's human nature to look at your moldy sandwich, look at another's turkey dinner, and to steal said dinner, or make it yourself. Human's don't like to settle for the inferior.

Maybe it's a good idea for America to rope off a section of the country, say utah, and let all of the trendy communists practice their favorite system. Let them see that no matter how hard they work, they will see only as much as their lazy neighbors get in economic and social profits.

What's the problem? So because a post is longer and has actual content to it, it's totally devoid of any sarcasm? Oh yea, I'm entirely serious, entirely stone cold here. I can see Nexus getting wound up about a broad generalization pertaining to ignorance, but if you are unable to read any sarcasm in what I wrote, then maybe xanax is your best and only friend.

Its great how you say that and then completely miss the point of my post, which was -in fact- to poke fun at those people who advocate communism or anarchy simply because its the rebel thing to do.


gg reading comprehension.

edit: or maybe you just wanted to elaborate for the sake of elaboration. Either way, I don't think anyone cared.

How can you compare democracy with communism anyway? Anyway nuff said this is a god damn poll and lets get some god damn votes in so we can change the god damn symbol. Going back to what Skyhawk said, I don't think that's such a bad idea changing it to the logo of the Communist party for America but the hammer and sickle has a prettier value to it so I'm still sticking with the HAMMER AND *&#(*%&@(*$&@(* SICKLE!

[dorknexus]

agreed, i have no problem with the communist party logo
