Um, no, there's still plenty of communism in the world.

I will agree with you on this on.....he defeated the Soviets not necessarily communism.......by the way, I apologize for the heated debate earlier today.....I am very thick skinned but sometimes the Calif bashers (not you) get my going. I was just caught up in the moment and I"m sorry.......I never ever bash another state....Just know that when ever you read another thread about Calif, just watch the idiots that come out and say things like "well what do you expect from Calif" when the same thing could be posted somewhere else with no reponse. There are some here that will hate anything they don't understand ........

True, but it's no longer powerful. China is moving to a free market economy in a lot of ways, and most other Communist countries (Cuba, North Korea, Viet Nam, etc.) are so weak that they are not a threat to free countries anywhere. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, Communism lost the battle.

You can argue about NK, but IMO, that's more a threat of nuclear weapons than a threat of Communism. Two different threats.
