Communist like our own Democrats, offer something for nothing. The ignorant sometime believe such a thing is possible.

Thank you for your response. I was thinking of how to respond and then I read your response.

You are correct.

The people who vote for communists are too sorry to work and too nervious to steal.

The communists,Democrats in the United States, promise them something for nothing and they vote for them.

When the election is over and if the communists or Democrats win, the people who voted for then discover that what they got was nothing for somrthing--their souls.

"Dems (and New Labour as well) are actually nowhere near European socialists (or European communists for that matter)."

Correct, with the addition of the word "yet" at the end. Eurosocialism is exactly where they want to go, though.

Most people in Western countries were born relatively rich. They went to school until they were 18 without needing to work; after that, they possibly went to college and graduate school, thanks to government money.

One shouldn't ignore that it is the increasingly tech-savvy American employment market which requires such in-depth schooling. Paradoxically, such job training usually precludes early experience with industries much more complex than young people experience in service and retail summer jobs.

I think all the abuse of illegal drugs in those coutries lead to their mental problems and willingness to put up with bad government.

Because of rage at their own inability to master their destiny, they really want to crush the achievement of others under the guise of fairness and equality.

Yes! You nailed it. My mother called such behavior "cutting off your nose to spite your face"
