Utter rubbish.
Communists are the people who opposed Hitler in Nazi Germany, the brave people who fought Franco in Spain and the suffering individuals who stood up to Stalin in Russia.
A communist is someone who wants production and distribution under control of those that produce. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less.
Your propaganda is not onl ...[text shortened]... ng, it's also inaccurate and making a mock of history.
Your children will be ashamed of you.
(1) The Nazis were elected by the German people to save Germany from the communists. Both were equally objectionable.
(2) The communists in Spain were mainly fighting the socialsts and anarchists, as witnessed by George Orwell and others who were there at the time.
(3) Communists (like Old Labour in the UK) want State control of production and distribution which leads to stagnation and the eventual collapse of the economy, as for example in Britain 1979 and Russia 1990.

2. Many communists went to Spain to fight the facists. Like witnessed by Hemmingway.
3. That is old Labour's take on communism and has nothing to do with the doctrine.
Guppster! Yes i''am a moron on this subject. But ,if you would, please tell me what a day in the life of a communist citizen would be like. Could he own his own business, or property? Who pays him to work where. Stuff like that. I'm talking real communism, not that of the USSR or China. Try to keep your anger undercontrol!

Originally posted by shavixmirYea. Chavez is the real thing. He does not want control of all the assets of his nation to make money. He is pure of heart. He is much more trustworthy than those hated "multi-nationals" and "capitalists". He is a good commie with a pure heart and a secret police to prove it.

Isn't it amazing how the far right loonies think they know best what makes someone a communist. Of course they know better than a another communist would.
It must be wonderful to live in a world so simple as svw's - never wrong, because he says so.🙄
I hate being in the dark. I would REALLY like for you to educate me. I'm serious. Which nation on earth do you point to as a good communist state?
svw wanders off chuckling at rudemike actually thinking of trying this for all of seven seconds then resorting to a rant about "true communism has never been tried".😛

How long do you think the human race will tolerate the various totalitarian movements that are perpetrated under the guise of the Communist religion?
Have you noticed the vim and vigor of the commies on rph today? They are again in near ecstasy over the possibility of another police state making str ...[text shortened]... ? Please note that the phrase "any thoughts", pretty much precludes commies from posting here.
Originally posted by scottishinnzWell, there are a lot of cults. Maoism, Stalinism, Chavezism, Castroism... indeed any commy "place" where you see big banners at every street corner proclaiming the might and right of the "great leader" of that particular cult.
Which "communist religion"?
Have you got an example of a "cute little place that isn't a nation" where communism works? If not, then why not? It is more than a hundred years old now and has been tried at least a hundred times in a hundred ways.
Originally posted by shavixmirYou've been using the 'I' word recently shav, and that's a good thing but not when it comes to describing the commies. Communism is based on collectivism. It's about turning individuals into ants. Ants that are sacrificial to the greater good.
Communists are the people who opposed Hitler in Nazi Germany, the brave people who fought Franco in Spain and the suffering individuals who stood up to Stalin in Russia.
What's the "greater good"? That's dictated by the lasted dictator.
It's too late to edit your post so a formal apology for your use of the word 'individual' will be sufficent.
thanking you in advance,
