Do you ever respond in sensible fashion? Drama really isn't your best suite. How do you know and how is it even your concern where I'm aching to live? Stalinism is to communist as Bush is to nazism. There is a middle ground called reality. Uncle Sam's fairy tales, like Uncle Joe's propaganda, are nowhere near it.

The reality of communism is at least 50 million and perhaps as many as 100 million dead in the twentieth century..........
"From each according to his ability and to each according to his need" is an absolutely wonderful idea.......if you totally disregard human nature.
It quickly become "from each as little as they can get away with and to each as much as they can grab".......and this from a guy that 35 years ago would have called himself a Marxist......then my brain stem became fully attached........

Actually, back in the day you could get 6.5 military surplus stuff cheap cheap............and the "magic" bullet was (if I remember correctly) a fully jacketed military-type bullet......but I agree, it didn't smash bone and remain perfect.
No insult intended, Juan.....I knew you would use proper ammunition for the task.
Well, that's communism as implemented by assorted demagogues, not as Marx and Engels wrote about it.
That's the key point, I think. Marx and Engels were, among other things, hopelessly idealistic, and the fundamental idea of communism, which is as you expressed it, is deeply contrary to human nature, and that's why it failed. Nobody ever implemented communism as Marx and Engels imagined it, but even if someone had, it wouldn't have worked. Marx thought it would happen first in some place like the United States or Britain, a developed industrial economy with a large working class, but he failed to foresee the rise of labour unions and how they would short circuit and preempt his ideas. Instead it happened in rural agrarian economies and the dictatorship of the proletariat emerged as a dictatorship of just another elite group, consistent with human nature and, in retrospect, completely predictable.
Marx was wrong. It really is that simple.
For those of you who think that any one that believes in a conspiracy theory should be wearing a tin foil hats, I have just one thing to say..........Evolution is JUST a theory. Maybe we just open our eyes and mind a little more than the rest of you that gather your daily information and thoughts from main stream media.

You compare Bush to Nazism and I'm full of drama? :lol:
Now that WOULD suck! That means I really DID skip math class. I know Henderson was hyper about something to do with a net. Da-aa-mn! Guess I owe good ol' Fenelon Sec another set of detentions....:lol:

Hmm, conspiracy theories. Perhaps this one was discussed, perhaps not.
One of my husband's uncles phoned another one of his uncles the other day, to ask about getting a frequency disruptor or some such ridiculous thing, to help mask the signals of any locator chips that may possibly have been implanted under his skin during alien abductions. Our governments make good money, don't you know, by taking alien technological gifts in return for allowing them covert use of our airspace to abduct and experiment on our citizenry.

Didn't you know Loonies were bugged??????

Eh1eh... that could be how they track us.
"This one's dumb enough to shop at Crappy Tire... take him."
good money, you said. The only good money for the canadian government to get in a dodgy manner would surely be CAD, since any other currency would need conversion and hence raise questions. Perhaps they pay in gold?
Hmmm.... Gold IS an elemental metal, where a Canadian loonie only has worth on our little patch of the planet....
