Every day this bastard takes America further and further down into his craphole. And it’s getting worse by the day. Though as destructive as little barry has been, we really haven’t seen anything yet.

Just wait. There’s much worse yet to come.

Lenin always talked up democracy when the CPSU was still called the Social Democratic Labor Party of Russia. And then he came out with this statement on July 5, 1921.
Dictatorship is a state of intensified war.… Until the final issue is decided, the state of terrible war will continue. And we say war is war; we do not promise any freedom nor any democracy.
His version of democracy was of course “democratic centralism” with one party in control.

There’s not much difference between Onanism and Obamanism, either.

Capitalism encourages, Communism stifles.

Well, there is a slight difference, that being de jure state ownership versus de facto. So-called crony “capitalism” is really corporatist fascism. The term “state capitalism” actually dates back to the publishing of the Manifesto; Lenin employed it when he had to institute his New Economic Policy to stop the USSR from collapsing.

You are correct. And “much worse” is not all going to come from Obama.

Concur, a very good read on this is: The Black Book of Communism, it is long but well worth your time. We must not forget the destruction and death that was brought by communism. Younger generations must understand this.

You’re right.

I shouldn’t have said ‘no difference’.

Communism only works in the conceited mind of it’s proponents, everywhere else it brings misery, mayhem, and death.

In practice, as 99 years of it have demonstrated, the result is the same, of course.

Hey BARRY!

Just because you’ve tried to DESTROY U.S. capitalism with unilateral regulation and taxation, doesn’t mean it’s the same as communism.

but I think for your generation, you should be practical and just choose from what works. You don't have to worry about whether it neatly fits into socialist theory or capitalist theory -- you should just decide what works.

That is pragmatism. That is a product of the disintegrated mode of thought and is a rejection of principles, logic, and theories. It ends up as a strategy of basing one's actions on a juxtaposition of arbitrary emotions and whims. How does one know that what works today will work tomorrow. It is impossible to plan and act to achieve long term goals with such a strategy.
