It's comical that the very same people arguing that the only way to eradicate Islamic fascism from this Earth is to kill all Islamic fascists, are arguing that somehow, a little over a decade ago, communism simply changed its mind, and became a benevolent, elderly aunt whom we should all love. The only nation in the world to completely overthrow communism was Spain, and it took a long and bloody war to do it.

Blowing holes in your arguments is becoming to easy. By your reconning, Spain is still a facist state, after all, how could Franco or his party (granted he died) just leave power? Same with Chile. Guess Poland and East Germany are still communists. Oh and same with Serbs, Croats, Bosnians, Makedonians and Bulgarians. Same with Ukrainians, Moldovians, Estonians, Lithuanians, Armenians, Azerbajanies, Albania. Greece is still a bunch of Facists too, since how possibly could the Regime of the Colonels leave without open revolution?

As for revolution, again, you can't even get that correct: first, Romania had a bloody revolution, maybe you missed the part where Cecisco and his gal were put to the wall? Cambodia also had a bloody and long revolution/civil war. Oh and I guess you missed the part about the coup in the Soviet Union in '91 that ended in mass protests and Yeltsin standing on the tank calling for open revolution against the SU and the disintegration of said entity shortly after? But then again, none of that fits your particular agenda.

"Blowing holes in your arguments is becoming to easy."

The sound you are hearing is air blowing through the holes in your head.

"Blowing holes in your arguments is becoming to easy. By your reckoning, Spain is still a fascist state, after all, how could Franco or his party (granted he died) just leave power?"

If you want to talk about fascism, we'll talk about fascism; if you want to talk about communism, we can talk about communism...make up your mind.

Let's see, I talk about communism, you come back and "counter" with fascism...you need to seek remedial political system classes.

The former Soviet States are far from being completely free of communism.

Your problem is your assumption that communism died a quiet death.

My, but how wrong you are.
