True, the poster of the original message shows weak understanding of the U.S. culture and politics. Which is not to say that we do not have problems. I do not know which country the poster comes from, but I am sure that the problems in that country are far more serious than the ones that were facing. The United States has shown resiliency and the capability to overcome problems in the past, and we will do it in the future.

As far as Communism, I believe that debate has been settled in the late '80s. It would be stupid to revisit that old debate now, when we got far more serious issues to deal with.
