What is your opinion about Communism?

[DLJ]

... which happens in all social systems.  Not exclusive to Communism.

So I'm thinking that perhaps what matters more is how those rights and freedoms are stripped or curtailed.  Correct?

Yeah. My rights are EXACTLY the same in the capitalist Democratic republic I currently reside as it would be in a communist state. You got me.

First "system", then "state". Please put the goalposts back when you've finished with them.

Cheers

Uh. I still choose the US today over any communist state ever. Also countries around the world already have those things without having to starve their people or send them to camps.

Admittedly I've only spent 10 hours in the US so I don't know what it's like.

But I have been to another religion-dominated, open-carry country where tax money disappears into the coffers of the Military and politicians are bought and paid for. I enjoyed my time in Pakistan.

I have fond memories of both China and Vietnam. But that's mainly because of the girls.
