[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All those who voted for these clowns at any point, I hope they are proud now!  What a sh*tshow!!![/quote]

Very proud. The last thing I want is a lockstep vote, like the pretend ones in communist countries. There were some major concessions to get McCarthy the speakership. He didn’t just get it because it was “his turn”[/quote]

The word you’re looking for here is “authoritarian,” not “communist.” Communism seeks to establish a system without socio-economic classes and their associated struggles by vesting the workers (proletariat) with control over property and the means of production) so they can distribute wealth equitably. “Communism” by definition necessarily means the workers themselves are making all decisions. Much of what people who like to throw around terms like “communism” fail to understand is that these forms of government are in reality little more than a form of “state capitalism” under a system of one-party rule.

LOL.  Have you ever experienced life under communism or met communists?[/quote]

DP.  [b]Communism by default does not mean authoritarianism.[/b]  But it does happen to be the case that communist systems have been taken over by authoritatians.[/quote]

DP. But it does. It's a dictatorship of the proletariat. Perhaps you mean socialism?[/quote]

You might want to re-examine the writings of Weydemeyer. The Paris Commune is an example of a post-revolutionary organizing structure adopted in opposition to counterrevolution. It is an necessary intermediary step to communism as espoused by Marks and Engels. [/quote]
