At the risk of sounding like a complete crazy person... I think we are repeating it. We aren't sacrificing Jews for a political cause but we are sacrificing.

You know what they say those who forget the past (The true purpose of the Nazi rule) are doomed to repeat it. Anyway that is my conspiracy theory.
I think that they may want more than mere money though they may not know it. The scriptures warn us in these words,We have elements of both. So what if its not *the* definition... it doesn't have to be.
I long been saying that these parties are on the same team... the goal is for the evil powers that be to control us in all things accept for our morals, they could care less about those. They want our money, not our God.
Ok so now that you have gained some insight from Wiki on Communism, what is the difference between the two on the economic level?We're not screwed but some are quite unaware of the meaning of words. It is easy to remedy ignorance by education. Take up a dictionary of political philosophy and read what 'socialism' and 'communism' mean. For a working definition of socialism see the original post, for a working definition of communism I offer the following
Communism (from Latin communis - common, universal) is a revolutionary socialist movement to create a classless, moneyless, and stateless social order structured upon common ownership of the means of production, as well as a social, political and economic ideology that aims at the establishment of this social order. This movement, in its Marxist-Leninist interpretations, significantly influenced the history of the 20th century, which saw intense rivalry between the "socialist world" (socialist states ruled by communist parties) and the "western world" (countries with capitalist economies).See Communism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marxist theory holds that pure communism or full communism is a specific stage of historical development that inevitably emerges from the development of the productive forces that leads to a superabundance of material wealth, allowing for distribution based on need and social relations based on freely associated individuals. The exact definition of communism varies, and it is often mistakenly, in general political discourse, used interchangeably with socialism; however, Marxist theory contends that socialism is just a transitional stage on the road to communism. Leninism adds to Marxism the notion of a vanguard party to lead the proletarian revolution and to secure all political power after the revolution for the working class, for the development of universal class consciousness and worker participation, in a transitional stage between capitalism and socialism.
Quite honestly the current enlightened 'Western' society have done a very good job of outdoing both the Nazi's and Communists when it comes to killing our own.At the risk of sounding like a complete crazy person...

I am sorry, perhaps 'This ain't your momma's Communism.' is a colloquialism with which I am unfamiliar, but reading it as an informal reference to home-spun ideas about communism I don't quite see the link you are making.and on the economic level is all the evil men in high places care about. This ain't your momma's Communism.

Why does Communism have to appear and reappear in the same exact form each time?
It can change certain elements, add in or take out and reinvent itself. Control of the people, control of the money, oppression and sin are what its essence is.
I mean if it appeared exactly as it first did, who'd fall for it? It has to come back as something else.
Just like the devil, he does not come at us with the horns and pitch fork... he is cunning, he comes at us at first as our friend. Just like any and all kinds of Communism.
Communism doesn't need to reappear in the same form, but the few times it has appeared it has become a one party state with varying degrees of malevolence.Why does Communism have to appear and reappear in the same exact form each time?

I think the Nazi rule has been established by former Nazis and pushed by those who wish everyone to forget what happened in WWII. Granted some take it overboard but if the shoe fits...

It has been debated that the reason why we are in the condition we are in is due to the adoption of socialistic ideas.Communism doesn't need to reappear in the same form, but the few times it has appeared it has become a one party state with varying degrees of malevolence.
Socialism has taken on many forms and very few have been one party states.
The USA has an opportunity to adopt some of the good things that a healthy economy can give and an opportunity to take up some of the measures that ancient Israel had which prevented wealth from being monopolised by a few families or a few groups (companies).
In ancient Israel the means of wealth production was mainly the land and one's family or tribe. Land could not be permanently lost to a family. It could be sold for a period but it had , always, to be returned, after a time, to the family that originally owned it. Analogous laws could be used in our modern economies but it would take some thought to work out the particulars.
I suspect, however, that in the mean time national health schemes, national education, military, roads and so on are the closest we have got.
Honey, its all the same thing at the end of the day....I believe More Coffee wanted posts on socialism. It is, and on capitalism and on distributionism too:

This is one point that few don't realize is that the USA is not a pure capitalistic society. We are also one of those shades of gray.
Perfect example is found in many urban areas where one is forced to pay taxes on the property they are suppose to own, even if the property has already payed for. Property taxes implies that the concept of private property does not exist in that location. Why because if you don't pay the property tax the government can seize your property. Thank God I live in an urban area, where at least I have a simulance that my property belongs to me.

Distributism would work just fine. It will promote, grow and encourage all those institutions you mentioned earlier and it's Church friendly, Church approved.
Simply put, its a world where, you sell the hammer and i'll sell the nails and we work for ourselves and its a family business and we do not have to commute or leave our families for lengths of time or have the government all up in our beeswax. Its kinda like the Vietnamese do when they come here, they all work in the family business.
