Yes, the communists and socialists just take advantage of the history and press the guilt button to make people dance and jump to their solutions.

Which in no way makes communism itself evil. Communism is a very noble idea, but it doesn't work in the real world because of people like Joseph Stalin.

I like the idea of a communist state, with democratic elected leadership, and democratic decision making. Which is pretty much what our country is going towards.
