Thread: Your View Om Communism

I hate the massive misconceptions about communism. The Chinese are not communist, their fascist. They use communism as a dream to rally support when in fact they are admittingly still a dictatorship of the proletariat that doesn't support the proletariat it pretends to. Same with the uSSR, Vietnam, North Korea, and pretty much all attempts at communism. Greedy motherfuckers used communism as an excuse, just like our government uses terrorism as an excuse to apply some fascist techniques to government.

Actually the Chinese are more capitalist-leaning now. But they are fascists

Neuro, I would say that America is "more free" than Europe. You know as well as I do that freedom of speech is more limited in Europe. Most European countries have much higher taxes than we do here. We have the freedom to pay for our own health care, and not wait 5 years for a surgery if we need it. It may sound strange to you, but we have the freedom to be racist. From what i understand, practicing racism in Europe is basically a crime. The list goes on and on, and Europe has a bunch of quirky laws that we dont have here.

In America, Westboro Baptist Church members can hold those signs on the side of the road, and have police protecting them. Could that really happen on the side of a English street?

Anyway, back to communism. Is it not by definition the opposite of freedom? If you are not in control of the things that communism would control, then how is that freedom?
