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.

Is this the China that is busily building a capitalist economy?

Make no mistake. All of these countries are very much Communist. They are simply using part of the way that the US does business to compete against the US economically. However, if China tells you that you are going to be a Basketball player, you by god are going to be a basketball player and you will not fail. Talk to some of the executives that screwed up with our toys recently - they were executed - those that didn't commit suicide that is.

All is better now! Toys are safe! We execute CEO! All is better now! Toys are safe!

Funny!

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.

Even his opposition says and fears that he will completely suceed. They may not be 100% yet, but at least 80% to 90% already there. Go look at their last elections. SHould show you a thing or two and point out how. Concentrate on his opposition. They spell it out clearly.

No it isn't.

Oh yes he is! But we may have more to worry about with the EU being the new Soviet Union than anything - http://www.free-europe.org/blog/?itemid=17 - that is the opinion of some of your fellow EU brothers!

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?

Well let me educate you then - http://www.academia.org/lectures/lind1.html

Interesting lecture huh? Now you are aware of its orgins when you were once not aware.

Think its best we leave that list of baloney back in 1963.

What part of the ideas are the same exactly that you don't understand? Doesn't matter what year it is.

Wise men know to look to the past to get an idea of the future. Those that fail in this end up sailing without a rudder.

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.

I think I have proven whos intellect is crude here, over and over it is yours. This is simply because I think that you are unaware or ignorant of the facts. Ones you have the facts, then you will be able to make a real opinion. Wake up and look around you for once. It is not pretty what is happening. I don't want to sit here and argue your views - read the net. Read up what is a Marxists policy and ideas and you might be a little shocked.

From what I read in your posts though is that you 'accept' what is happening to you. I hope that is not the case. I want to look out for my fellow subsimmer!

Maybe you are a 17th century puritan? :hmm:

Now you are being laughable with a direct attack. Please refrain. Thx!
