Even Communists don't like socialists. They're like the lost stepchildren of the third world planet.
The left-wing uprisings against the Bolsheviks were a series of rebellions and uprisings against the Bolsheviks in the aftermath of the 1917 Russian Revolution that were led or supported by left-wing groups such as Socialist Revolutionaries, Left Socialist Revolutionaries, Mensheviks and anarchists. Some were in support of the White Movement, while some tried to be an independent force. The uprisings started in 1918 and continued during and after the Russian Civil War until around 1924. The Bolsheviks increasingly abandoned attempts to invite these groups to join the government and instead suppressed them with force.

It's a commie takeover Harry!
Better check under your bed before you go to sleep tonight.
You are all still being effected by cold war propaganda. Not one of you will actually pick up a book and learn something.
Your unfounded fear is nothing but your government creating hate to justify it's foreign economic policies.
The USSR was never communist, the real communists apposed the Bolsheviks, and were oppressed with force...

I live in central new York. Every day on my way to work on the thruway, i used to see state troopers sitting in the median running radar, trying to catch speeders. Starting about a month ago,i no longer see state troopers. I see DHS SUVs and sometimes cars. I even saw one pull a guy over. WTF is going on?
I have a gut feeling they are going to replace the nations police forces with the DHS, nation wide. I think they are just giving it a trial run in the already oppressive state of NY, first.
Regarding the drones, my place of employment is next to hancock airport and i see drones every day. But its no surprise since Hancock its home to the 174th fighter wing and they have publicly stated they would be the first base in the nation to test out domestic drones.edit on 24-3-2013 by WP4YT because: (no reason given)

He says no, in socialism/ communism the people own the means of production, collectively.

Oh well, if the middle class gets wiped out, we will all be in the same class anyway except a few on top. The top one tenth of a percent will be the only ones that have wealth, the rest of us will return to being surfs, working for peanuts. Life will go on, to resist would be futile as the most wealthy own technology and control all the infrastructure. If you want to eat and survive, then you have to play along.
I guess it won't be so bad, right now everyone is so polarized that things are a mess. I'll go with the flow on this one, in a few generations we will be able to tell if the new system will work.

Saw something that very much disturbed me just recently. It was a black SUV police vehicle with some phrase in smallish letters next to where it said POLICE. Curious I walked closer to see what it said. "To punish and enslave" is what it said, and that is the truth.
WTF is that about? THis has been gnawing at me ever since I seen it. Still feel like I went to sleep and woke up in a different world than the one I grew up in. Crazy times we are living in...
