Why would you get PM's about your avatar? I'm a commie and I feel no urge to PM you.

I agree with Trodgers. Its just an econmic systems thats all!! Not really that big of a deal at all. Communisim is actually a good idea when u think about it in theory (everybody is equal). But, as we all know it gets abused!!! I wouldn't worry about anybody thinking BTP supports communisim. That is the furthest thing from anyones mind! Everybody here loves the good ol' U.S. of A.....er..uh....and Canada!! I hope!

I feel I probably shouldn't say I'm a hard core leftist, but I will say I'm not pro communism, definitely not capitilism either. Both are horrible ways to organize a society. To say communism is "evil" (Ronald Regan) makes me laugh though. It's basic idea is everyone shares, nobody is poor and nobody is ultra rich. The US government hated communism because they couldn't make money and trade and exploit their resources. Because of this they did not want commiunism to grow to any other part of the earth. They felt communism was a disease that needed to be stopped. Results are Korean War, Vietnam War, Cuban Missle Crisis, and the Cold War and their hatred of CUBA.
