‘Which is to say, is it identical - per the actual definition of “communism” - to: embracing a social structure in which classes are eradicated and property is commonly controlled? No. It might make you mad or confused to view a sporting event at which not every single spectator feels like chanting “USA!” and “We’re No. 1!”, but it is not, technically, “communist.”’

Let’s use another ‘c’ word - collectivist. The group trumps the individual.

If Rooney’s sister and her husband like Ghana so much they should go live there. Morons.

what a ditz. . .she is confusing Marxist “ideology” with Marxist “tactics.” Many further the Marxist cause as unwitting pawns, “useful idiots” . . .this is the strategic, tactical side of Marxism. . .which includes, by the way, “the big lie” tactic. Saul Alinsky’s “Rules” are about tactics. . .not so much about ideology. . .but know for certain the tactics definitely further the ideology.

Is Ms Rooney a Communist?

Those who have to say they are not, well, there is a clue right there!

Looks also like she is fiull of herself and must talk down to people so they “understand” that she is much smarter. Where is the *barf* alert?

Huh... After reading as much of this hand-wringing tripe as I could handle (a few paragraphs) I dismissed the author as a pig and went straight to the comments. So... she does nude modeling?

The author's argument is a bit naive. According to her criteria, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics wasn't "communist" either. When McCarthy accused people of being communists it was because he believed these people were acting in sympathy or concert with the USSR to undermine the United States and western capitalistic governments. To take "Equal rights for gay, lesbian and transgendered people," as an example, certainly there are people who came to think this would be a good thing on their own; or at least they think they did. But just as certainly there were people within the USSR who had ideas about weakening the moral fabric of the US as part of a strategy toward undermining it. And some see the mainstreaming of homosexuality as one of those ideas. Whether such people are correct or not doesn't really matter. They are merely using the word "communist" because they believe it to have some association with those Soviets who wished to undermine our society.

And who could argue with them?

“1. A political theory of total collectivism in an utterly classless and stateless society? If no, don’t say “communist”; just say, “Shut up.” If yes, go right ahead.”

We already have a collectivist agitprop in the newspapers and mainstream media pushing the left’s game.

The Boy-Queen and his minions have floated various incarnations of a cashless, classless society in their talks and in their thinktanks. Mostly it is so that no one can escape the long arm of taxation nor can anyone attempt to rise above a level dictated by the secretariat of billionaires who resemble nothing more than soviet insiders and communist cronies ruling the prolitariat. The internet allows everyone to read a lot of information so nothing can hide from view.

Speaking of which, just this week TSA attempted to censor sites along with the government’s grab of internet “security.”

“2. An economic system based on the principle “From each according to their ability, to each according to their need”? If no, don’t say “communist”; just say, “I am incapable of listening to, let alone respecting or considering, an opinion that is not the same as mine.” If yes, go right ahead.”

The redistribution of money from private individuals through taxation and confiscation through onerous capital gains taxes is exactly that. I’m to pay a 3.8 percent tax on home sales and other real estate transactions. Middle-income people must pay the full tax even if they are “rich” for only one day – the day they sell their . This is to support healthcare.

“3. A form of socialism that abolishes private ownership? If no, don’t say “communist”; just say, “My ignorance makes me defensive and hostile toward people who make different decisions than I do.” If yes, go right ahead.”

Oh ho! The crux of this is the nationalization of entire swaths of industry, finance and soon to be medicine, big pharmaceuticals, and medical products. Next? The oil industry.

Yeah, I still own my house. How long before the taxes make it impossible to support it? How long before the mortgage deduction is stopped according to plans in the works just this week from the IMF for US austerity measures? What’s the point of owning a house if every benefit is ended.

Also take a look at the sustainable housing now being planned. That’s enough to end personal property along with running small business and farmers out of business.

It’s all incremental, honey. The Bolsheviks wear suits this time and use computers and censorship to conquer.

Two thoughts -

Does Ms. Rooney also ask Liberals to stop using the R-Word for those of us who disagree with President Obama’s policies?

Can you imagine what would happen to a Brit or German if they mentioned that they were rooting against their team? I believe it would more than one person going after them.

I wonder how she defines other meaningful words, like “marriage.”

Since we are being precise and all.

SouthtownStar?

Isn't that Comrade Zero's neighborhood rag?

The whole bit about rooting for Ghana would not be a big deal, were it not for the fact that libtards continually root against the United States.

I sincerely doubt that few conservatives would actually give a damn about a soccer game.

But then again, the "Right" just a liberal term for those that disagree with them?

Perhaps that person, (if not completely fictional) knew the Ghana fans well enough, to know they were Communists. Being that they are friends of the author, it seems quite possible.

Noticed she didn’t include abortion or end of life issues.

I hope they’re not ashamed of those. ]:~)
