Communism didn’t die with Marx nor was it born with him.

My take is that communism/socialism is just a convenient way to summarize the good ole "seven deadly sins". Lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, pride.

When you look at the impetus behind most socialistic policies, it boils down to some combination of those 7 worst characteristics of humanity.

I'd add one more - ignorance - to take care of all those "useful idiots" that go along for the ride because they buy into the deception propaganda without thought.

I am beginning to look at it a little differently. To me, when looking at how things are going, it’s a game. A dangerous game played by people like Soros. Allow me to put my foil hat on for a second. If you were totally rich beyond your wildest dreams, would it make any difference to you to make more money? I think not. These people need something else to do. What could be a better game than to take down the most powerful country in the world? Especially if people told you that you would never accomplish it. Enough of these people playing this game could accomplish it. Look at the Central Banking idea, the Federal Reserve. Take a look at this site when you have the time. It’s quite long but worth listening to. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-515319560256183936&hl=en Now look outside the box.

That was good.

Good comment. You don’t really need a label to know that what we call “socialism” is the antithesis of freedom.
