I need help with my turn page paper on the collapse of communism

myself | 4/30 | johnmartineu, author of the NY Times bestseller, "kittens ripped my turn page paper"

[johnmartineu]

Hi! My name is John Martineu. Im 18 and a student of Dover high School in Dover Delaware. I have been assigned a final term project. We are to do a 20 page turn paper on different subjects. I am doing one on the collapse of communism. Since you coservatives know alot about this, I was wondering if you could help me out.

First Id like to know what communism is and how it is different from socialism? Second I would also like to know about why Russia collapsed. Third could you tell me why you refer to certain people such as Ann Goodman and Helen Thomas as Communists? Finally Id like to know the advatages of Captialism.

Every bit of information will help me with typing this up. Its due in a month and I hope to pass with flying colors. I might even post it on Freerepublic when it's done. Thanks alot guys

John

Im NOT!

Funny, an actual new poster on FR would be more inclined to ask what a troll was than to deny he was one.

IM JUST WONDERING IF YOU COULD HELP ME RESEARCH MY TERM PAPER!?

Yeah, high schoolers really would ask such a question - "Third could you tell me why you refer to certain people such as Ann Goodman and Helen Thomas as Communists?" - yeah, a kid in high school who can't spell knows who Ann Goodman is.

YOU COULD AT LEAST POST SOME GOOD WEBLINKS

Sure. www.foad.com

Pick a single part of the whole ten-twenty year process: Choose maybe the Polish unions, Reagan's repair/build-up of the US military from the democrat's failures.

Reagan's resolve to defeat Communism compared to the democrats' (Carter, Kennedy, McGovern, Kerry) failures in military and intelligence.

Chose one phase: Star Wars missile defense.

the whole topic is too large for a term paper begun this late!

Hint, hint. You're starting realllllllllll late!

First Id like to know what communism is ...

read the Communist Manifesto (it will be in your schools library [yes, that place with all the books]).

Return when the first part of your assignment is complete.

PS: a remedial English Course might help.

[johnmartineu]

yes it's a term paper. Ten pages long, on the collapse of communism in Russia.

Here is a hint for success in writing. Spelling is important. Grammar is important. Then it is possible to consider content.

WHAT THE HELL IS A DU TROLL?

Too late, you already showed that you knew what a troll was in an earlier reply to me. I really wish you would vary your M.O. a bit, rationality, so it wasn't so easy to spot (and smell) you right off the bat.

Are you from Poland by chance?

You are not a conservative?

[johnmartineu]

it's a start thanks but I know some of that all ready. Maybe you have some stuff on Mcarthyism, the berlin air drop or the Cuban missile crisis?

You dont have to tell me all this just give me the weblinks. Thanks.

a diarama

Come on people this guy isnt real, he threw in those spelling errors for effect. Also what 18 year old would use the term "it was hard and nausiating".

[johnmartineu]

fine. Could you at least tell me Why Helen thomas and Ann Goodman are communists or why you consider them to be communists?

Here you go, If you are legitimate you can use this. If you are from DU, then its probably your home page.

Google Search.

I have to type ten pages, then include some pictures and a diarama.

For the diarama, chain Ken and Barbie and Blues Clues to the inside of a shoebox painted like a gulag. Then have GI Joe rip it open and free them.

You can make those cool machine gun noises with your mouth and then (ask your teacher first!) light the whole thing on fire when you're done.

You will find plenty of books defending the concept of communism (and probably explaining the differences between Marxism, communism, socialism, anarchist-socialism, etc.) at this website: http://www.akpress.org/

It is not provided with the intent that you actually buy any books from them but it will give you some prominent names of people who have ignored history's lessons on communism and who want to give it "one more try".

Marxism in a phrase: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."

Redistribution of wealth schemes (like inheritence tax) all fall under this power grab.

Here are some other quotes and paraphrases, I'll leave it to you to discover who said them and in what context.

The power to tax is the power to destroy.

The same government that provides you services can deny you services.

a diarama is a display I put on a large board of pictures and papers about my topic. You know! The kind they have at science fairs!?

Ten pages? No problem, just write big...
