Do you ever post facts to back up your arguments?

What are you talking about? I post opinions.

this may be lost on you, but the New Yorker piece was satire, not to be taken literally.

That's what I thought, you can't really back up your arguments

Do me a favour and put me on ignore. I'll return the favour. You have nothing to offer me.

Whats wrong with being a communist?

Ive noticed that in the west communists were the bogey men... maybe still are.. but why do people hate something without understanding its principals or basics...

I am not a fan of communism but that doesnt mean i fear it... i get that at a certain stage in a particular country's life communism helped save it from collapse.. it served its purpose and now its gone...

Everything has a purpose, a time and a place when its apropriate... even democracy.. there are places on earth were democracy is the worst idea... yet we openly force it down their throats... as long as they choose the leaders we've selected for them and refrain from making their own choices.

So, I can still see quotes.

I'm not a communist. Statements like that are an example of why you are a waste of time. I'm certainly more center-left than some here on the forum. If you identify more with the politically right in Canada and the US, then okay, but you have to accept the criticism of their policies.

So you're for C-51, anti-lgbt, anti-choice on abortion, anti-social programs, a climate change denier, anti-science/research, ... good for you.

Was going to say i never seen you demanding the the entire means of production being turned over to the people...Although I would guess you enjoy the work of Marx in an idealistic way I know i do. He defiantly made some valid criticism about capitalism

Well no.... in practice communism has been an absolute failure and just because things have happened does not mean they were optimal for societal benefit.

their is no perfect system out there.. we need to keep an open mind when approaching new ideas... communism was perfect for the soviets when nazis attacked.. or would you rather have them sit our discussing/campaigning who gets to lead the country?

communism, democracy, theocracy, monarchies they are all imperfect.. they all had a purpose.. and they all have served it.. i think... at least in the west its time we started forming a truer form of democracy.. power to the people.. not power only to the people if they agreed to give it away.

a responsible democracy.. were they people are responsible for keeping the representatives in line.. were random normal citizens form over sight committees... and issue policy..

administrative and legislative bodies should only be carrying out the peoples will not telling them what to will.
