Communism is harder to kill than Dracula. They are always waiting to seduce another generation of historical idiots with their siren song of forced equality. But even in Salon, the comments are 90% condemnatory of communism and socialism

All those horrible things attributed to Communists? Those weren’t the result of the real, pure Communism that our teachers are trying to teach us about. The future Communist societies will be the nice ones Karl Marx wrote about. After all, even Microsoft Windows didn’t get it right the first and second time.

Well, it is great in concept. Everyone works for the benefit of the other. I sounds great.

Except in groups of more than two it doesn’t work. Because we are inheritly competitive by nature. We strive to survive. My goodness, just watch animal planet and you will see how animals are hard wired.

A liberal friend told my husband, when he mentioned the millions of people who were murdered in the name of communism - “Communism has never been implemented properly.’

There's a reason for that. In every society, regardless of economic and political structure there's always been a pyramid of wealth roughly described by the Pareto (power-law) distribution. That means that there's always a "1%" and a larger population of the less well-off. Jealousy has always been a powerful emotion, and Communism in its revolutionary stage has been persistent in inflaming it.

Once communism is established, you have a new class with wealth and power, justified by their role as trustees of the proletariat. Look at the Soviet apparatchiks or the Chinese CCP "princelings."

Aww, Come on, Travis...

Whoopie Goldberg said “some us believe, ya know, communism isn’t all THAT bad...”

It’s just that the right people haven’t been in charge, that’s all!

We’re experiencing “compassionate communism” right now - you know, the way Marx and Engels REALLY REALLY REALLY meant it to be....

I will never forget the funniest moment when a die hard black communist, extreme left-wing, “bloody revolutionist”, was told by a black tax attorney after getting a sizeable pay raise and he had to pay much more in taxes, and he asked, “What does this mean?”, and she replied, “Congratulation. You’re now a rich white guy.”

Interesting though that the two have a lot in common: Fear of sunlight (Truth and transparency), Fear of Christians, Christian symbols and Christian doctrine, fear of weapons capable of doing them damage. Also they share a strong desire for mind control. They both embrace abomidable practices.
