Why Does Atheism and Left-Wing Politics Usually Go Together?

Yet, most of them do, so why do they?
...and some poor families could live off the state but choose to go to work and try to get their children in work. I'm not saying that people tend towards laziness in communism...just that communism rewards laziness.

Quote:If you want an example of a country with a successful worker's progressive movement, then look no further than your own.
Evidently you aren't aware of the number of consumers that get pissed off whenever a union organises a strike. Unions in this country are greedy and ruin the economy. Even the Labour party (the major union supporting party) are turning against them!

Quote:There can NEVER be a "communist nation" because that phrase is an oxymoron
Wrong. A "communist state" is an oxymoron. Look up the difference between a state and a nation. A nation is not a political term; it's at a basic level the same as a collection of communities. You can have communist communities; a collection of communist communities would be a communist nation.

Quote:If Saudi Arabia and all the oil producing OPEC nations, decide to have an oil embargo against the US, what would our nation look like?
As a US citizen, you can buy oil from foreign countries if you so wish. That means the US government does not have complete control over the US economy. Government control of an economy only relates to the internal and internal -> external transactions of that economy. Of course, no government can have complete control over which entities decide to trade with them, but that is irrelevant when discussing communist control of an economy. Government control affects the government's citizens. In North Korea, the government controls the entire economy, fact.
