From the outer fringes of the lunatic right, they may look similar,
but you should try and get it into your head that socialist believe in
universal sufferage and work within the rules of parlimentary
democracy, where communists believe in "the leading role of the party"
and don't give people outside the party any voice in government.

This is a significant difference between the two systems, and if you
can't see it, your opinion isn't worth worring about.

Also, socialism does nto outlaw all private ownership, whereas Communism
allows little or no private property aisde from specifically-personal items
(clothes, chachkis, etc.).

"Communism" is just being brough up to revive the corpse of knee-jerk
McCarthyism.


Whatever,Obama has many close associations and relatinnships with people
who hate the United States of America.
That shows a very poor judgement,and/or his own dislike of the USofA.
(lik
e
his wife Michelle voiced awhile back)

Bill Ayers "hates the United States of America"? If he hated the
country or been indifferent to it, he would have headed off to Canada
(as many did). In fact he loved it enough to take considerable risks
in a fairly quixotic campaign to bring it to its senses, exposing
himself to Nixon's dirty tricks campaign in the process.

Unlike the Alasks Independence Group, whose spokesperson (Vogel) says on
hos website that they "have no use for America and its institutions". IIRC
the "first dood" s a member, and Palin sent a very nice warmfuzzy-
touchyfeelie taped speech to their convention last year (it's on YuoTUbe
for any who care enough to listen).


American right-wingers have a distinctly repulsive tendency to believe
that their vision of the way America ought to work is the only valid
vision,

Backed up by huge, and increasing, stockpiles of guns, ammo, and yes,
explosives.

and go on to claim that other Americans having a different
point of view are trying to destroy the country - rather than perfect
it - and are motivated by hatred of the country, rather than some kind
of reforming zeal.

Don't forget that the ultra-right-wingers also have a very specific and
narrow definition of who is and is not a "real American". They don't even
care if you lost half your body as a Soldier in Battle doign military
service - all they care about is that you're "the same as they are".


This is a remarkably stupid point of view, but right-wingers aren't
strong on rational analysis.
