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

Yet, most of them do, so why do they?
Uh...

If you do not have an income, and are living off a large sum of money, you will eventually run out of money, especially if you have kids, and they have kids, etc, and you all live off the same supply of money.
Yeah, that...


cratehorus Wrote:There can NEVER be a "communist nation" because that phrase is an oxymoron
Again,
Tiberius Wrote:Yes, there can. A nation is simply a large group of people all inhabiting the same area. A communist nation would be a large group of people, all inhabiting the same area, and all living in a communist society. I'd agree that a "communist state" (though some exist) isn't a true form of communism, but to say that there can be no communist nation is not true. A "nation" is not a political term; it's more of a human-geographic term.

What, exactly is the point? What level of control over the economy do you need for it to be classified as 'total' control? An embargo does not change the fact that the government has total control over its own businesses. If a government had absolute control over its economy, then it would just order other governments to give it money to boost the economy. A government does its best to influence its economy, but it only has indirect control over it. It is the means of production (all of the businesses) that are under government control in socialism.
