WRONG.... Communism is socialism which has and is progressing rapidly thru URP and the United States.. (SSA) Social Security is pure socialism.. and SSA is the tip of the U.S. socialist iceberg.. World socialists have always been for a World Republic of Socialist States to be morphed into a World Democracy.. Some say a America EU is planned for Mexico, Canada and the U.S... World socialism is advancing not retreating..

Amen, brother! Here's why: It is believed that it is cheaper/more efficient to keep the masses in line under an intolerant leftist/liberal regime than to allow individuals freedom and expect them to somehow bring into fruition some sort of workable society. An unacceptable gamble, in otherwords.[screw the Founders]
Given the significant investments in statism already present, any leanings toward individual rights are seen as repugnant among those who blissfully parrot words like liberty and freedom - while voting for those who would no sooner take Lee Greenwood out-back and put a bullet in him for singing "God Bless The USA", were it to hail the rights of individuals, rather than those of the state.
"God bless the hard-working son-of-a-b*tch who can barely make ends meet, given the high cost of gas due to the lack of balls, in the USA" is how the song ought to go.
Unless and until property taxes are abolished, I'll just go merrily along as a co-owner with the state in all of my affairs, while voting against them at every turn.
