Communists Takeover

[Flash]

The political identifiers no longer mean anything. There are only two sides of the political war that defines our current political landscape, and the only way I can tell who is on which side is to talk to them or read what they have to say. In general though, most "libertarians" I talk to these days seem to be commies.

What makes a commie?

What makes a commie?

Apparently, ... anyone who disagrees with Evmetro.

[Evmetro]

People living in communist nations were convinced the U. S. wanted to take over their country. It was what the governments told the people so we would support a strong military to support containment. There is not much left of communism today except for the communist party (China) that practices a lot of private ownership of industries and free market economics. Saying a liberal or libertarian is the same thing as communism completely destroys the meaning of all those terms. A libertarian has nothing in common with socialism or communism.

Commies got a bad name awhile back, so they learned how to hijack other names like progressives, democrats, libertarians, GOP, Republican, etc. They never stopped being commies, they just used new names.

See. Told you.

Who are the 'Communists'?

People who used to pray facing Moscow.

Are there any of the 45 communist goals to take over America that have not been accomplished yet?

Here are the 45 goals that were read into congressional record in 1963:

There are a few that are not relevant now, but it looks like most of those 45 communist goals have been accomplished. Thoughts?

Obama gave them the Ukraine. That sacrifice should keep them fed for awhile.

"Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States."

If you want to believe the DNC is run by Commies, you need to have a reeeeeeally loose definition of Communism.

\shrugs......yet you just stated most of their goals were "normally accepted"......

To people like the OP 'Communism' means any sort of control by the capitalist state of anything at all. They or their grandparents were brainwashed under the McCarthy dictatorship and haven't thought since.

What similar policies do commies and libertarians support?

primarily ignorance......

That makes an awful lot of communists.

1. Abolition of private property in land.

2. A heavy progressive income tax.

3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.

4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants.

5. Centralization of credit by means of a national bank.

6. Centralization of communication and transportation in the hands of the state.

7. Extension of instruments of production owned by the state.

8. Equal obligation of all to work.

9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries(?)

10. Free education for all children in government schools, and abolition of children’s factory labor.


OMG, America has got all of those, even the abolition of children's factory labor!

What similar policies do commies and libertarians support?

Attempting to isolate libertarians from the rest of the commies is stupid, since political identifiers have been hijacked by commies. You have to talk to them or read what they have to say in order to see which of the two sides they are on. When somebody identifies as a libertarian, remember that there are men identifying as girls. That "libertarian" might have been one of the commies who stayed home for the 2016 election and failed to ensure that we get conservative Scotus picks.

Yes, isn't Alex Occasional Cortex proposing 70%?

So modern Russia is still controlled by Communists?
And it wasn't the entire Ukraine, it was Crimea.
