It flies in the face of what we are as a society. Capitalism isn't perfect but I assure you his people were no more oppressed than those people in the Soviet Union or China or Cuba, etc. who he might seek assistance from.
Off topic: I'm around, not posting as much because i have no desire to watch or cheer for the Raptors again until they earn my attention (I've wasted enough time on them thank you). I spend my time waiting for opportunities to be controversial now.

As far as equality for all under communism that's fucking bull shit. Communism is set up so that people that follow and support the leadership are HEAVILY rewarded while all the minions work for scraps. If the minions say anything they are jailed it's an evil evil form of government and the sooner people realize that the better.

So to just lay out a blanket statement of "Communism is Evil" sounds a little ignorant ... but whatever.Sunny ways my friends, sunny ways

What is written in theory and what is reality dont always align. Communism in action is oppressive rule by fear, intimidation, violences, propaganda, intrusion of privacy, etc. It does not work and will never work for human nature will not allow it to work.
Commoners equally suffer. There's your equality in a communist state. There is no three class system in a communist state. There is only the poor(slaves in abundance) and the ruling class who live privilaged lives.

I know full well what I'm talking about thank you very much. What Stalin turned it into is NOT what it was initially intended to be. I'm going to leave it at that.

You're referencing Alex Jones..? THE Alex Jones?
I won't go into that since I guess you know what referencing Alex Jones will do to your argument ...
And you're DAMN right Nelson Mandela "was no George Washington" ... George Washington was EXACTLY the type of person that Nelson Mandela was fighting.
George Washington was a Slave Owner his entire life, who killed and massacred the Native peoples of North America exactly as the Europeans were doing in SA.Last edited by Joey; Wed Dec 11, 2013, 10:14 AM.

You make a great distinction in your blog post Quirk: Democracy and Communism are NOT mutually exclusive. I think alot of people ignorantly associate Communism with Tyrannical Dictatorships.
Communism is a form of Economics.
Democracy is a form of Government.

If communism is so great why did/do so many people flee it for freedom. Why are cubans willing to risk their lives for freedom. Why do the Chinese do the same? What is so fucking great about have your life run by someone else. If you like being told what job you are going to work and what money you will make and what religion you will practice then fine. Get out of Canada. This is the land of the free not the oppressed.Sunny ways my friends, sunny ways
