The US gives it some food aid and oil; it shuts up. Vietnam, Laos are hardly going to start the domino effect. Infact they're trying to get a piece of that good old capitalist pie.

Cuba is a small and weak country that threatens no one. It no longer has the backing of the USSR and once Castro dies I doubt it will stay communist for long.

2. You can even choke one up for a major world power who didn't get your memo - China!
Is this the China that is busily building a capitalist economy?

3. Countries like Venezuela didn't get it either since they just recently converted.
Chavez is pretty left-wing and he likes to goad the US but I wouln't say he is a communist. Quite a few South American countries have elected left leaning governments but I wouldn't say they were communist either.

4. You have Russia trying to put back together the old Soviet Union, and heading that direction every day.
No it isn't.

5. Even the UK is heading far away from capitalism, and is very much a Socialist country now and is on the Communist back porch from a political perspective.
Nope not much evidence for that. For example when a Labour party government (Labour is the left leaning party in the UK, or it was, very centrist now) wants to involve private companies as providers of public services etc (a scheme called PFI or Private Finance Initiative) it don't exactly shout marxist at me.

We should bring in Steed here. He tells you every day how far down this road you are going. From stupid government control to political correctness gone haywire.
The more the merrier. But don't see what 'political correctness' or government control have specifically to do with communism. BTW think this communist axis that is slowly taking over the world has rather limited aims if for example banning the story of the three little pigs is a central plank of its strategy. As for government control think George Bush's government is doing a good job of eroding your rights in the US and increasing control. Is he a communist?

As far as how well they are succeeding in turning this whole world Socialist/Communist, count how many of those points they have won from 1963? I'd say the vast majority of them and they are still going strong. They even pretty much own our democrats in government, so they even have suceeded there. I bet it is going slower than they would like or thought, but it is moving that direction.
Think its best we leave that list of baloney back in 1963.

Now the most disturbing part - YOU DON'T EVEN REALIZE IT IS HAPPENING!!!! Go read that list of 45 points. You might be a little shocked! It mirrors what is on the Communists Parties USA website to a tee!!! Your freedoms are being done away with daily as well, one chip at a time.

Back to the US of A. Half our country is starting to see the light on this. This is why the massively deep divides you are seeing in the American people in the last couple elections. Half are for government ruling our lives, and half want to be left alone to raise a family and live life.
The problem Subman is that you have a very basic and crude understanding of what is and what is not communist. You appear to live in a Black/White world where if something is not rugged individalist or fits in with your wold view then it must be communist. You accuse things or people of being communist as if you were a 17th century purtitan denouncing a witch! Its laughable and frightening at the same time how simplistic and old fashioned your views are.

and this is being accomplished through moral decline.
Maybe you are a 17th century puritan? :hmm:
