The Communism won, at least this round. The USA is the most hated nation of the world, socialists and communists dominated the media and Fidel Castro extends his power through Latin America. Latin American citizens are being indoctrinated about Communism, hating the USA and loving Cuba and China.
It is not by accident this year the Academy Awards will have two Latin American highly celebrated movies. One of these movies is a biography of Che Guevara and the other tells the heroic saga of a Jew young woman KGB agent in Latin America.
Are all the Americans sleeping?
Welcome to FR. Communism, if you hadn't noticed, is dead.
Not only that, but both government has been co-opted by lovers of the intrusive big government police state. Yeah we lost.
Not all of us are asleep. Marxism is alive and well.
That's a very pretty prepared list, but the fact remains that there are a lot fewer Communist states than there were 20 years ago and the world is moving in the opposite direction.
It's been 16 years since the Berlin Wall fell; 14 years since the Soviet Union disintegrated. Not one new Communist state has come into existence since then. Going off about a Communist boogeyman at this point sounds reactionary and paranoid.
Am I supposed to believe that the collapse of Communism worldwide is a secret Communist plot to put us off guard?
Dead? Ah ah ah ah ah. Tell me another:

I could put a hundred of another webpages here(some are from government, political parties, important social organizations), but I think it is not very convenient. Besides I dont have too much time now.
South africa is now a socialist state. Zimbabwe is now a socialist state.

Just halftime.
Yeah there are still Nazis around too. Puzzlingly enough, I'm not too worried about it.
#1 Communism and socialism are not the same thing.
#2 If the best they can get for their USSR and all of Eastern Europe is South Africa and Zimbabwe... well, they ain't on the top three list of totalitarian global menaces anymore.
Petty semantics.

Zimbabwe will be catastrophic.

Oh no! The Nazis are coming! Everyone wake up!!!!!
Wrong, wrong, wrong. It is true the Communist governments of Europe and Soviet Union collapsed. But what happened to all Communist politician and lovers? Did they become Republicans?
Did they moved to Tibet and became monks? No. They are well and working at the side-scenes.
Also the Communism ideas are not completly vanished from Europe. And the Communism forces are very active at the South Hemisphere. Even a blind man can see that.
Now, if you prefer thinking that it is all paranoid... The problem is yours.
USA 1
USSR 0
You've got to be kidding me, if you think we should divert an ounce of resources from fighting Islam to dealing with a defunct ideology. Socialism "jumped the shark", so to speak, even the Chinese are mapping their way out of it.
Zimbabwe is not socialist. It is a dictatorship. And nothing that happens there is particularly important to us here.
South Africa voted for the mess its got, now it's got to lie in the bed it made.
If you're really worried about a return of socialism, then the EU should be your focus, not marginal third-world countries.
In the meantime the rest of us will be fighting the jihadis, and would be pleased to have you join us.
You should remember to all Latin American parties, governements and press that the Communism is dead. They still have the opposite opinions.
Actually, the problem isn't mine; I'm not the one chasing phantoms of an era that no longer exists.
A lot of people have your problem though, they just can't seem to adjust to the fact that the Cold War is over.
Wake me up when there's a reason for me to care about Latin America.
You see the collapse of Communism worldwide as the end of the Communism, as a proof the Communism does not work.
But the Communists didn't agree with you. They see the collapse of Communism as a misadventure. They are still believing in the Communism agenda.
After I see local newspapers praising the glory of Communism times, armed Communism movements acting freely, self-declared Communists politician raising to high posts in government, the red and the hammer and sickle becoming a part of the daily scenery, how do you dare to say all this thing is paranoid?
You posted several links of ordinary featureless lunatic people. Unfortunarely, although my lunatics are not so featureless:
The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia are acting since 1968. They have killed or injuried 1392 people untill now, many of them are Americans.

The MST is a large Marxist inspired movemement. It acts freely in Brazil illegally occupying lands with government political and financial support. According to their website in 2003 were 632 camps (inside invaded areas) Brazil countrywide:

America Libre is the magazine of the Foro de São Paulo, an organization whose members members include: National Liberation Army, the FARC, Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front, Guatemalan National Revolutionary Unity, Sandinista National Liberation Front, Tupamaros, and the Communist Party of Cuba. This group is lead by Cuban President Fidel Castro and Brazilian President Lula da Silva.

This event is a meeting which is sometimes news by international press. The meeting is self-declared anti-liberalism and praises Fidel Castro, Cuba, Iraq resistance and at same time there are highly protests against the USA:

Many of these sites are from well organized people, intellectuals, activists, people who works or study at Universities. They are not mere alone people with Communism nostalgia:
