See his/her #4, #13, #14, #17. He/she says that "the sooner we go our separate ways the sooner we all just break up and go our separate ways the better off the right will be in this country." That is the one thing posted by MadIsh32 that I can agree with. Absolutely the SOONER THE BETTER. After the GOP Wall Street big shots crammed soulless pro-abort, pro-lavender, gun grabbing, foreign policy indifferent, $$$$ Mittler down our throats as POTUS candidate 2012, we have an even deeper hole to dig out of and it is time to take out the social revolutionary trash once and for all.

I think that would more appropriately be described as mercenary capitalism than communism. Unscrupulous capitalism, ie, putting profit above any and all moral concerns, is certainly not laudable, but neither is it communism. Communism by its very definition entails state ownership of enterprise, which again, by definition precludes the profit seeking motive of the individual.
How many ostensibly non-communist souls have been purchased by "capitalist" George Soros? Is capitalism his philosophy? It may be his way of life but that is a different matter.
The armorer for the dictator is scarcely distinguishable from the dictator.
This discussion smacks of the style of the college bull sessions in which I engaged so many, many years ago. Instead of bull sessions, we should have been engaged in fighting Mark Rudd, Bill Ayers, Bernardine the Radical Queen, Jerry Rubin Abbie Hoffman, Huey P. Newton, H. Rap Brown, Stokely Carmichael, Bobby Seale and their marionettes like Ted Kennedy, Bill and Hillary, Bill and Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Barak Insane Obozo, but arguing about how many Marxists might dance on the head of a pin was a more leisurely activity which could be indulged comfortably indoors over a nice wine and some savory cheese, maybe order in some pizzas (we lived in the city that is to pizza what Fatima and Lourdes are to Catholics: the city where Yale is located), Clinton, John Kerry, Barak Insane Obozo, et al., three of whom were in the same city at approximately the same time.
Profit motive??? Who got the first new deluxe washing machine and dryer in their society? Mrs. Brezhnev or Ms. J. Random Peasantsky??? Likewise personal income: Mr. Brezhnev or Mr. Peasantsky??? The palatial dacha out in the picturesque countryside? The Brezhnevs or the Peasantskys??? In scrupulous capitalist societies, who rides Air Force One, takes an army of cronies at taxpayer expense to vacation in Mumbai or the Spanish Riviera, has permanent Secret Service protection, spends about half of a life on the very finest golf courses and has a lifestyle beyond the imagination of medieval emperors? The Obozos or the ruling family of Citibank or J. Random Taxpayer???
It is getting harder and harder to distinguish (at least by results to the rulers) between "capitalism" and communism. BTW, in genuine capitalism, the duty of those running corporations to produce a maximum profit to the stockholders IS a moral concern. Don't you agree?
Meanwhile: Lenin, Stalin, Bulganin, Krushchev, Brezhnev, Andropov, Chernenko, and Gorbachev did profited rather magnificently as individuals, especially for individuals supposedly leading the opposition to "capitalism."
