The problem with Communism is when a dictator gets his hands on the country.

Would be a problem with other ideologies as well, I think.

Communism, by definition, requires a dictator to get everybody to toe the line in a "commune" rather than everybody minding their own business.

That's because of dictatorship, not communism. Comunism is not bad, dictatorship is!

Communism, by definition, requires a dictator to make it work. If you don't learn from history, you are destined to repeat it.

Could you provide us with a link that points us towards a definition of communism, okie?

Communism means living in a commune. For simplicity sake, hows that?

Wrong.

I have no interest in splitting hairs. Go ahead provide your definition.

Okay, okie, I don't know if you really want to go down that road, but maybe we should expand on the concepts we are talking about. I'm quite sure there have been numerous threads here on A2K about left/right or communism/capitalism, but as we're already talking about it:

Would you be willing to look up the definition of communism here (or wherever you want to) and then come back and continue the discussion?

Sorry to come to this, but that was a joke - right?

You know, the Democrats are communists (or socialists, depending on the mood) line is tiresome and outdated. The fact that some people acknowledge that the profit motive doesn't solve all problems does not make them communists. That kind of extreme labeling is designed to stigmatize one's opponents in lieu of actual debate. It's also a chicken **** tactic to take. Panzade is right, if we are to believe that Democrats are the extreme of their ideas, then we must do the same for Republicans. That would make them fascists.

Walter, sadly some A2K posters are limited by their compulsion to only communicate with cliches.

So ... if I found myself agreeing with both Walter and Fedral, does that mean I'm schizo?

That's not even a cliche - that's an ad absurdum.

Communism: system of political and economic organization in which property is owned by the state or community and all citizens share in the common wealth, more or less according to their need.

Not if we rotate your brain clockwise.

I take it all of you favor communism. Can you point to a favorite prime example of past or current success for your favorite governing style. Lets not talk about text book examples of how it is supposed to work. Lets talk about how it has worked. Educate me here. You are the professors, I am the ignorant student from Oklahoma.

Walter, I love ad absurdum. I thought you coined a new word and then I discovered that you are a sneaky, very smart rascal.---BBB

No, I don't. How did you get that?
(Actually, I'm a member of a party which fights for more than 125 years with the communists: the Social-Democratic Party of Germany.)

Where in heaven's name did you get that from? I'm an anti-communist, and I will never vote for a communist. For a socialist, yes, a social-democrat, sure, but never a communist.
