clifflandin is going to find something against me, but he's doing that because he wants to protect the pro-communism threads from censorship, even though they promote an ideology that is dangerous.

so why would anyone support communism?

I still don't know.
For me, it isn't a question of protecting pro-communism threads. It is a question of not censoring anything that doesn't violate the Member Conduct of the site Terms of Service - http://www.redhotpawn.com/myhome/termsofservice.php

If their ideology is so dangerous why hasn't it taken off all around the world, instead of dying off like it has? Do you not believe that you can shoot down any argument for communism? It becomes more dangerous if it hides in the shadows instead of being expose to the light of reason.

Why do feel that censoring posts about communism is different than communists censoring someone for speaking about democracy?

Hu Jia, an advocate for democracy and human rights in China, was awarded the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought, Europe’s most prestigious human rights prize, on Thursday.

Last year, Mr. Hu testified via video link before a hearing of the European Parliament about ...[text shortened]... ng Communist Party rule.

and yet there are still people in this forum that support communism.

Not me, I am advocate of the free exchange of information, which is a very non-Communist activity. You, seem to be leaning towards Communism, however, with your censorship.

You should wake up and smell what you are serving.

I'm not sure you even know what Communism is. It is no wonder that you are continually called a redneck.
I don´t think the free exchange of information is something communism bans.

The problem seems that people seem to confuse communism with China or Russia.

That´s like saying democracy is bad because it gave us Hitler, or the pre Mandela South Africa was what democracy is.

Communism is a political ideology and therefore is as varied in its meaning as the people who claim to be communists. Same as democracy.

That is exactly my point. There is no need to censor post regarding communism because generalisimo is threatened by them.
