Challenge: What is Communist in the US?

[Edmund Burke]

People use the word Communism more and more these days, and every time they do, all they are really saying is "I don't know what to say, so I am going to say something wild to hide my ignorance."

So to all those terrified of the coming Red Revolution, let's see the evidence. What is actually Communist in the US. Keep in mind your examples will be subjected to actual definitions of Communism. If you are wrong, it will be pointed out, people will talk about how you do not know what you are talking about, you will probably feel bad, and you will look foolish. This is the price of an opinion.

So where are the examples...?

Bzzzzt! Wrong answer, and you don't even get a consolation prize.

 

[shinbits]

giving people the right to choose to discuss their own end-of-life options is is the mark of an evil commie.

am I right, or am I right?

Except none of them are in office that I am aware of. So they matter because...? I would assume that relevance matters?

Obama and cronies.

Naturally you say this, but you have, and likely will continue, to fail to provide a reasonable defense of your position.

What's this? 100 questions night? Someone has been drinking too deeply from the educrat handbook.

As if leftists don't know what they are working to achieve. Its really pathetic. And, no, I don't play.

Smartly dressed black men are Communists?

Note the disdain for education and knowledge, as well as a complete inability to accurately label Communism from the forum's most notorious COmmunist labeler.

Support your statement, or sit back down Potsy.

You provide a completely unsupported accusation, then demand others provide support? Really?!?!?!?

Obama's No Socialist. I Should Know. - washingtonpost.com

Sorry, but many Socialists don't feel that Obama is their comrade. The idea of a Socialist Obama is a myth that has hatched in the brains of many disgruntled Conservatives who are prone to see Socialists under their beds at night and in their alphabet soup.

It matters because they're communists in the United States. It answers your stupid challenge, and if they aren't relevant enough for you I really don't give a hoot.

So, Communists who have no power, cannot implement their policies, and have no real relevance?

So all of the people here who are constantly talking about Communists in power are talking about these people? Are these deluded individuals even more deluded than I suspected?

I'm not sure exactly who or what all you are talking about. Perhaps you could elaborate?

Anyhow, when it comes to me, talk of "Communism in the USA" leads me to think of the communist party.

What exactly was your purpose for starting this thread anyhow?

[jgarden]

A "communist," by definition, is anyone whose political views are to the "left" of "Vogelin!"

Pretty much.

Words mean things. Without proper and clear definitions you get books that claim that fascism is leftist, but to make the connection the author has to loosen the definitions of fascism to and communism to make them indistinguishable from any authoritarian government.
