doctrine, and then they expected a loyal follower.

First off, Stop with the Hate Towards Fox News,,,,, I don't watch T. V. and if you'd ever bother to read some of my post regarding T. V. you know this,,, So Stop The B. S.
Secondly, I read your 4 or 5 threads, Not much to talk about there, other than the fact, You like Obama and you try to derail threads.
It is Not Going To happen Here,,,,
You want to know What As Changed?
Try No Jobs, High Gas Prices and Obamas Not Saying We're Going To Drill,,, as a matter of Fact and look it up,,, Your Dear Leader Wanted Gas Prices To Be Higher,,, In His Mind ( Shallow as it is ) This Would Force His Sheeple To Go Electric,,,,,
OH,, How About The Adults Moving Back Home To Mommy and Daddy? You got an Answer For That?
Thought Not, Other Than Obama an his Loser Economics, I lived most of my life under Communism, You need to grow up and listen to your Elders, Stop Worshiping At The Feet of a Male With No Real Past!
Try not to derail This thread anymore.
O P I'm sorry for this.

Thankfully you live in America, and were able to walk away.
Fortunately you were not ecucated in a communist country,
where you would have been "forced" to read and memorize,
recite the manifesto.
Well, at least for now, you are free.

From Founders' America
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
46. Import anti-white racists from the Third World, via an open-borders policy, then force their integration to divide and conquer white Western civilization in North America.
47. Feminize and disarm both the citizenry and military; especially disarm white males.
The announcement put the organization, a self-described “National Socialist” political party, in company with the Socialist Party USA, which explained its own support for the left-wing protesters in a nationwide conference call last Tuesday night, crediting organized labor with the protests’ strength and sophistication to date.

We have to remove the human intermediates in government and make it an open Internet government with online voting on everything for the people 100% by the people based on popular vote and divide by distance of impact regional and national depending the subject being voted on.
SOCIAL MOBILITY look it up!

You are doing every thing you can to derail this thread.
Obama is does not care about you, REALLY,,, Getting your answers from his web-site won't help you.
Do you belong to any of these Obama groups?
Or maybe you could point out just which Sheeple You Are.
Total devotion to one man is kind of like Himmler-ism.

"Lets recheck the facts. "
Communism is just an economic system.
The level of self responsibility is still there for people that think about the majority, I wouldn't just stay home and do nothing because I have a social responsibility and this is important, at least to me.

Maybe I am just playing semantics here, but it seems to me like what the woman in the video is talking about, and what so many people on this thread are talking about, is dictatorship, not communism or socialism. If someone comes and takes away your stuff and rations out food and supplies, and you cannot leave, that sounds more like an ism oriented towards dictation (ie telling you what to do, how to do it, etc). Maybe it could be argued that this is totalitarianism. If there is ONE person in charge, barking orders, I would assert that that person is a dictator, and this is exactly what the USSR, China and Cuba have had. What those countries HAVE NOT had is a government that derives its authority from the community. Hell we don't even have that in the United States.
If some people call "communism" the concentration of power into the possession of one individual, or a relatively small group of people, then I do agree that "communism" has sucked, does suck and would suck. However I would add that the word "communism" is a poor choice as a label for that type of socio-economic system. I think the etymology of "communism" suggests that authority comes from the community, which is closer to a republic than a dictatorship. I say this because a community is somewhat like a district; a district is generally the lowest level governmentally-related division of the US, and a community is a group of interacting people living in proximity. A big difference between a district and a community is that the borders of districts are drawn, by a higher authority, with little regard for the cohesion of the people within it, whereas a community is defined by its cohesion.
If a system were to base its political actions on the desires and needs of its communities, then it would be similar to a republic. I would argue that, in terms of accountability to its constituents, this type of system would be even better than a republic, since the interests of communities are more coherent than the interests of districts. This type of system is what I would say deserves the label "communism" because its authority comes from the community.

Scary.
People need to see that we are going down a path history has repeated before.

I think you guys, pressing this inane narrative are gonna be the ones who do that
kind of stuff again simply because you are so pliable. If tyranny comes to America,
it will be done with Flags and Eagles. Nationalism is currently a tool of the right,
and nationalism is KEY to instituting dictatorship, learn your history, be square
with reality and you have nothing to fear. But if you keep creating fake bogey men,
you will be laying all the ground work because that is the next step in the tyranny
equation, nationalism and bogey men.
