    Communism is an ideology advancing poverty for all to ensure the population is equally poor, while government corruption runs rampant.

    That's how it manifested itself...t's not the theory.

    Capitalism has some rather nasty side effects as well...remember sweat shops, child labor, and the Great Depression? It works but it needs pretty careful regulation or it becomes as bad or worse than communism.

    The difference is that communism ignores human nature and capitalism uses human nature

    You DON'T remember sweat shops,child labor, or the Great Depression?

    Therein lies the problem.

    Those who ignore history are destined to repeat it

    Youre talking trash about things that happened a hundred years ago, and have zero relevance today. zero.

    Jonathan Gruber told us the reason Obama-voters wouldn't abandon him after the real facts about Obamacare became apparent was that "American" voters are morons. You are correct. He would have been out of a job if he came right out and said Obama-voters are morons. But we know what he meant.

    The Soviet Union (which had been created by Wall Street Republicans) dissolved 28 years ago. Zero relevance as well. Yet, members of the far right continue to act as if it is a "threat" and blame libs for the destructive actions of the GOP for creating the Bolshevik Revolution.

    For some, attack is more important than preserving the appearance of intelligent maturity.

    Democrats weren't going to get Republican votes anyway, so it's obvious to anyone with an IQ of 100 or better that Gruber was referring to Democrats. Perhaps you should refrain from denigrating people you don't know, most of whom are smarter than you.

    They are the same ones that think gun confiscation is good.

    Communism wont work for humans. You have to be a bug or animal for it to work.

    Do you realize that the belief some here think communism is "super awesome" is a false belief? Do you also realize it is impossible to honestly claim that communism has never worked since it has never existed?

    And you live by your opinions, thinking they are facts, right? That's what I see here.

    And anyone with an IQ of 70 can follow this: Gruber said "Americans". YOU "interpreted his meaning, saying " He would have been out of a job if he came right out and said Obama-voters are morons. But we know what he meant."

    YOU "explained" his comment on "Americans" as meaning "Democrats".

    That isn't a very bright thing to say, but believing it only applies to Democrats (which, being capitalized, means politicians) isn't either.

    Try re-reading my post.

    You're saying that since Santa Claus doesn't exist, I should name one home that received Christmas gifts from him to prove he doesn't exist.

    Are you able to follow that?

    OK, let me help you because I'm afraid you couldn't follow my last reply.

    MARX'S IDEA OF COMMUNIST SOCIETY HAS NEVER EXISTED ANYWHERE AT ANY TIME.

    Easy enough to test. That would make sense. Thanks for the different opinion. It made me think a little.
