I suspect some of them carry a flag in their pocket, imprinted on their VA card.

Communists or not, SOS still interacted with Nazi types. Advocate rallied with them on 3/31/06 in Mira Loma. I was told by a former SOS member that Joe invited the Nazis. I know I keep saying that one over and over again. But I'm willing to speak out because people need to know. The sooner there's an eventual nationwide DENOUNCEMENT of the Minutemen and their affiliated groups, the better. Then we can get more reasonable and sensible people with better and more humane solutions. Hopefully solutions that protect human life and dignity. I'm sure it will require thinking outside the box so let's get progressive.

I'm offended that you called me a neonazi. I'm not. As per Leftist rules, I will now accuse you of being a rabid racist.

Hitler was a barbaric savage, just like Che Guevara. The world is better off without them.

Now that we're all done playing the name game and the 'change the subject' game, I'll refer you back to my original statement... Communists are humorous when they feign patriotism.

Now, if you have a problem with my statement, TFB.

Albert Einstein wasn't a communist. He was a socialist. There's a difference. Furthermore, mentioning his name is a simple appeal to authority, which is a very basic logical fallacy that any critical thinking class would have taught you. Just because he was a great physicist doesn't mean he was a great social thinker.

Any movement that rigidly adheres to the basic principles of Marxism (and its subsequent derivatives) can rationally be called Communist. Communism, though there have been variations on the theme, is typified by the denial of private property, state ownership of the means of production and state control of all media and education. In nearly every case in history Communism has also been typified by totalitarian rule over those living under it. There, now you've had it explained to you. Feel better?

ANSWER is a known front group for the World Workers Party, a known Stalist group. That places ANSWER firmly in the Communist camp.

Its sad that simple things like this must be explained to you, El Chivo. But I don't expect you to burn your Che shirts. In fact I don't expect you to learn anything from this.

Have fun playing 'Mr. Revolutionary" and I'll see you after you're all done feeling 'oppressed' by capitalism.

Socialism is a transition to communism

by El Chivo Sunday, Apr. 09, 2006 at 11:19 PM

Marx saw socialism (that is, the "dictatorship of proletariat") as a transitional phase, ultimately to be replaced by a classless communist society in which the existing forms of government would no longer be needed. According to Engels, the state was destined to eventually "wither away", as the representative democracy of socialism slowly turned into the direct democracy of communism, and economic life would be re-organised on a basis of freedom and equality. In holding this classless non-state as the ultimate goal, Marx expressed a long-term ideal not far from that of anarchism. However, whereas the anarchists wanted to abolish the state overnight, the communists wanted to utilize the state to transform society, expecting it to "wither away" to the extent that the nature of man evolved to the "new socialist man." In other words, while anarchists try to abolish the state more directly through an anti-statist, anti-capitalist revolution directly against both capitalism and the state at the same time, Marxists believe that a new state can be un-capitalist and that its destruction of the bourgeoisie will also destroy the self same state.

My original satement was: "I love it when Communists try and pretend they are patriots. It's like watching a child deny he ate the chocolate even though his face is covered in it."

Put simply, that doesn't make me a neonazi or a nazi sympathizer, and to suggest that it does is intellectually dishonest. Nor am I a minuteman.

You guys LOVE to throw out the neonazi charge because for you it settles the issue. It's nothing but a lazy escape route for you. More to the point, El Chivo's retort to my original comment is a non-sequitor. It doesn't address my comment in any way whatsoever.

All of that said, thanks for working overtime trying to turn the United States into a third world country.

You actually like Socialism, whereas I do not like Hitler or Nazism in any form.

I've already told you that before, but you apparently have a reading comprehension problem since my telling you this in clear terms before didn't prevent you from making the accusation yet again.

You have yet to deny that you are a Socialist. I therefore can only conclude that you are a Socialist.

Are you afraid to admit it? Sounds to me like you are.

First, this is a complete non-sequitor... it doesn't follow from anything I've said or asked previously. It's non sensical. It's also an incomplete sentence.

Second, its a ridiculously shallow and juvenile generalisation and stereotype of 'capitalists'. It's straight out of a Guardian comic.
