    Aw, it's ok. I think we both intended to be snarky but that doesn't mean I don't find most of your posts interesting. Communism and socialism have always been the same thing to my generation. The Soviets and Chinese were Communist and the Soviets professed to have been Socialists. If I were an American socialist I would think I would rather not be reminded of the hardships Socialism gave the USSR. Now we seem to be rehabilitating both terms, strange.

    So again....what specifically has he done that makes him a communist? You saying he’s a communist doesn’t make it so. If he truly is a communist it should be very easy for you to list off all of the things he’s done that makes him a communist.

    Hmmm...who to believe, multiple sources with links, or random internet guy on a forum? It's a tough one. The USA is a Federal Republic. This is a simple fact. I guess someone on the far left might attempt to deny it.

    Your mischaracterization of how the government works is your problem: not mine.

    What is funny is that many on the far right pretend to be small govt conservatives when trying to restrain Big Government Democratic Progressivism, but when in power go to Big Government Republican Progressivism in a heart beat.

    The Russkies believed in a transitionary period of socialist economics but never, ever were Socialists. They imprisoned and killed the socialists when they could catch them.

    I don’t understand...you made the claim he’s a communist yet so far you have not given any examples of things he’s done that makes him a communist. Why do you refuse to give examples?

    Why does he have to be anything? Why do you have a need to label people?

    Well he isn't a Capitalist and you say he isn't a communist so I accept that. How would he be labeled in your book?

    Well he wants to be President so it is pertinent to that end to know who he is. I would call him a Communist and you would not. How would you identify his politics?

    Well, currently the world has 56 million deaths per year and 100 years ago the world population was around 1.8 billion. Around 1% of the population dies each year. Roughly in the past century 3.7 billion people have died (estimating that 1% of the population dies each year) and 100 million were at the hands of socialist (dictators). So 2.7% of all deaths over the past 100 years are due to murder by socialism.

    Don't tell places like Chicago, St Louis and Baltimore that. Hell, for some sectors of the population in those places they would love to only have a 2.7% murder rate.

    A democratic socialist, as he says. Look it up, Wiki and his website will give you a far more accurate view than my poor skills can muster.
