This is a celebration of my right to free speech, press and petition the government. As a whole, the citizens of the United States consider their country to be a democracy. Roger Baldwin, who founded the American Civil Liberties Union in 1920, said, “So long as we have enough people in this country to fight for their rights, we’ll be called a democracy.”
And now, citizens, we must fight for a more egalitarian society in the United States.
With such an egalitarian society there are no social classes. There is no private property or state. Communism would permit the complete expression of individual and commutative freedom.
This should be appealing for many reasons. A communist United States would allow property to be owned by the community as a whole. Means of production, such as factories, businesses and buildings, would belong to and serve everyone.
It is my opinion that the greatest expression of democracy and equality is the communist system and that it is time for Americans to push for a social revolution where production is made “from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs,” as Karl Marx said.

It is difficult to accept what we must about this kind of ideological stupidity, however Oliver's right to think, believe and publish this intellectual "neverland" garbage was purchased by the blood of hundreds of thousands of gallant, brave, true American patriots through the last 2 centuries.
We can only hope that this college sophomore wakes up, once he is confronted with the real world. On the other hand, he could be the Ward Churchill of his generation.
Poor Oliver. He is a schmuck and a putz. Too bad everyone knows it...but Oliver.
Kommunism Kills.
Socialism Sucks.
Freedom Rocks!
Very sophomoric of Olivier to say such stupid things.
Yeah, just like the old communist nation of.... uhh.... where was that exactly?
Leninism and Lennonism (" Imagine no possesions, I wonder if you can, No need for greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man, Imagine all the people Sharing all the world.) make for one heapin' helpin' of cowardly nonsense. They should change the name of the Lehigh paper to the "Brown and Yellow", for several obvious reasons...
Oliver, move to Cuba.
Career goal?: Tenure!
Dang! I thought we lived in a republic. Let's all head for the acropolis and we can vote on it!
Yes, because if history has taught us one thing, it is that communist countries are utopias of equality, prosperity, freedom, and joy. (Apart from the mass murder, torture, oppression and suppression, tyranny, economic deprivation, desperation, and hopelessness, that is.)
What a useful idiot.

While he is studying it, we lived it. Thanks, but no thanks.
-Means of production, such as factories, businesses and buildings, would belong to and serve everyone.-
Oh, sure, 'cept all the work would be done by the hard workers, and the slackers would sit around, kiss the butts of our keepers, and reap the benefits of our hard work.
The original American settlers tried this utopian communal living, nearly starved to death, and learned an important lesson in individual ownership.
Thanks! To quote another great American, Hank Hill, "I miss voting for that man".
