Is anybody else tired of the constant Karl Marx & communism referencing?

But it does, because we know where you pinkos and watermelons are coming from.

Some on here who openly advocate communism disagree with you....Try dstr for example. Problem you have is you don't like the parallels so you want the message stopped.

OK, let's turn to the other extreme and refer to Hitler and fascism.

Right now there is a clear battle in the US between Socialism, Free market enterprise and Corporatism. Technically both free market enterprise and Corporatism are both forms of Capitalism but Corporatism is a more like what China has except instead of the Gov controlling everything it's a few huge international corporations. If the Socialists went away we could try new ideas. The fact is that when you use forced redistribution of wealth you are engaging in either or both Socialism and or tyranny. The difference is purely in labels. When somebody steals your stuff they steal your stuff. The slogan they use while doing it really doesn't help most people be good with it. Socialism is when you boil it down to it's most basic essence is organized theft. It is the Government coming in and stealing what you own. In Corporatism you have a similar system but it's done with slight of hand. You have the illusion of choice. You can pay what they want you to pay or do without. What they want you to pay will be more than you can afford, so your stuck back in the old company town kind of world where you make less than you owe and the more you thrash the worse it gets. Free market enterprise is the darling of Libertarians and non-Republcian Conservatives is a system where corporations are kept in check but nobody steals your stuff either. At least not much. The philosophy varies in the extent taxation is allowed. Taxation is nothing but legal theft. It is the taking of goods/monies from the rightful owner. Since it is not voluntary it is theft. If those goods/monies are given to other citizens it's not just theft it's also bribery. So the less taxes and less welfare the better is the general opening theme. Keeping corporations in check creates opportunity thus removing the need for welfare as people have better standards of living. More jobs, better paying jobs and better lives overall. This is balanced with varying degrees of the need to help the least fortunate and retirees. The more extreme is that everybody is on their own to the other extreme with substantial help but generally in ways that produce low taxation. Those are economic models. Socialism tends to be coupled with a wide set of mandatory beliefs as well. This is the basis for the Democrat party. As such Socialism which is another word for Marxism since they are founded on the same core beliefs and ideas and are merely degrees of the same thing rather than different systems altogether is very much in play in the US today. Various Capitalist supporters have a wide array of Social agendas. Some quite liberal but without Marxist approaches to problem solving. As for pointless they are far from pointless. Socialism is Marxism. It is merely a milder form of the disease.

Usually, if someone takes a couple of steps to the west, one could assume that person is going to walk in a westerly direction.

Socialism is alive and well and it's just around the corner..... but it's not coming from the US democrats.

you expect logic from capitalists?

No - their little kindergarten minds are easily entertained.

I think the angry litany of answers from right-wing nuts here more than answers your question, don't you?
