Hmmm... well, there certainly are a bunch out there that would disagree with you on that. [worldatlas.com]

@Captain_Feelgood "China....is organized as a DEMOCRATIC-centalized.....society", from the last sentence of the second paragraph of your posted article. I rest my case.

@AnneWimsey Either you don't have your reading glasses on, or you just don't understand what it's saying... Go back and read the first sentence of that same paragraph.. You're miss-quoting what it says... It actually says "The party (that being the 'Communist Party) is organized on a democratic-centralism basis." This just means they vote WITHIN THEIR "COMMUNIST" PARTY on how to run the country... Look, I understand you don't want to believe this because it hurts your position on these things... I get it.. And I understand that it doesn't matter what facts I or anyone else puts in front of you, it won't make any difference to you.. You've been brainwashed for to long, and there's just no hope for you... Have a great life, here in this great Republic of The United States... Oh,,, and welcome to the list..

@Captain_Feelgood um, it also states there are 8 (eight) parties within their system......maybe you should re-read, this time with comprehension. Just because something uses a word to label them.....care to contrast 1800's "republicans" to 2020's "republicans"? Not exactly the same thing, even though using the same label......

Why is it a ridiculous question? And why do you think we're heading towards communism?

Brother... this is a whoooole other page you are suggesting here... But we can certainly make that page happen.... I'm all for it. Welcome to the site...

Who is shutting down free speech? I see drump sending troops at peaceful (LAWFUL!) protestors........

@AnneWimsey Yep. Those look really peaceful. I agree though. He shouldn’t be sending troops. He should just back off and let the mayors and governors in the states (not) handle it and let the cities burn.

@CourtJester The people in those cities would beg to differ, they are very happy to see the feds step in and regain peace where those idiots were burning and destroying everything. At first I felt the same as you, letting the Liberals running them fail, but then I just felt so bad for the good people there that are suffering and changed my mind..

Okay,,, I can give you props for your opinion there, Marion... At least you could give it without some ridiculous rhetoric that was totally bias... Thanks for that..

Btw, trump is an idiot

Spike, until you cite one, that’s in your and the Captain’s nightime fears.

@yvilletom A guy on here who goes by the name PontifexMarximus (think that's how his name is spelled) identifies as a communist. Unfortunately, it is not merely in my dreams, although I'd wish it was just so.

@SpikeTalon He does spell his name that way.

l looked at his bio and posts. I ignored his comments. [Do that and let me know if you think he’s a threat to anything, let alone to capitalism.

IMO, you or the Cap’n still need to cite a communist.

@yvilletom Why do I need to cite anything?? I never said there WAS a communist here,,, I merely asked if there was one.

@yvilletom No thanks, I haven't bothered with him since he publicly criticized one of the groups I host, claiming I all but supported terrorists. As for him being a threat to capitalism, I'm not very worried about that.

@Captain_Feelgood Don’t play the innocent; you ain’t.

@yvilletom Mmmmm,, yeah, I am.. Where did I ever say there were communists here? Man, you really do need to take your meds...

@Captain_Feelgood No innocence, no imagination either

@yvilletom Well,, I'll never accuse you of not having an imagination... that's for sure. Perhaps you should rein it in a bit. Letting it run wild like that is starting to resemble psychosis.
