.... this is what Communism is, and obviously the Democrats are no where near to ever doing this. Seriously, go study what communism really is.

Yeah, literally none of those are communism. They're varying examples of nanny-state authoritarianism, good-old-fashioned racism-based authoritarianism, and populist authoritarianism, respectively.Speaking of studying communism, OP, can you explain to me how each of those is an example of communism?

I suggested to him that politics was not his forte.You might want to as well before spouting off as if you know things.

I am going to be a man, and say that I am at fault for mixing up what, authoritarianism and socialism put together is, with communism. But it still leaves the question to why China's main party is called "Chinese Communist Party", when they are not even communists. On a side note though, before Russia came the country USSR. Infact, no socialist country has stood for more than 100 years, all have failed some time or later. Right now Cuba looks like it is going to fail and its communist regime is going to fall under soon. That leads to another question, is China going to end breaking up into smaller countries like the USSR did, sometime in this century?You might want to as well before spouting off as if you know things.
Because marketing? Same reason North Korea is called the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (it's not democratic nor a republic), the USSR was Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (not socialist, and barely a Union), and USA is United States of America (clearly not united). It's just bullshit.But it still leaves the question to why China's main party is called "Chinese Communist Party", when they are not even communists.
Man are you gonna be confused when you read about the Democratic Republic of the Congo.I am going to be a man, and say that I am at fault for mixing up what, authoritarianism and socialism put together is, with communism.

If I may ask, how old are you? born prior to the early 80's? Absolutely no offense meant here.I am going to be a man, and say that I am at fault for mixing up what, authoritarianism and socialism put together is, with communism.

He just graduated college I believe.If I may ask, how old are you? born prior to the early 80's? Absolutely no offense meant here.
No, I was born in 96. Last I had history class was in high school... almost 6 years ago.If I may ask, how old are you? born prior to the early 80's? Absolutely no offense meant here.
Explains alotHe just graduated college I believe.
you know there was a Russia before the USSR correct?No, I was born in 96. Last I had history class was in high school... almost 6 years ago.
I was supposed to graduate in 91, while I was in American History, I asked the teacher at the time to explain to me the difference between a Republican and a Democrat, because I couldn't understand it at that time.No, I was born in 96. Last I had history class was in high school... almost 6 years ago.
Yes, but at the same time, there was a China before Communist party China. Between the empire ruled china and communist party ruled china.you know there was a Russia before the USSR correct?
I don't think the OP intended to get into the weeds of all the technical details of communism. The broader point of the OP was to point out the absolute folly of Republicans constantly claiming Democrats are communist. The same thing can be said about socialism. It's almost like Tourette's with them whenever a Democrat says or proposes anything...OP you need to read some books and get educated on world history, along with different types economic and government systems. Or else you're just going to embarrass yourself more. Modern China is by and large an Authoritarian one party system with the slightest hint of socialism. Russia is in the same boat. They are both overtly oppressive towards free speech to maintain control. That's not communism.
We don't want want to be like either one of them. But we also don't want to be run by bought off corporate puppets. For the US I see three options.. oligarchy (we are here), fascism, or young people bring us towards European style socialism.
.... this is what Communism is
And China isn't even "Communism". Not even close to what it is "on paper". I never saw so many fancy Audis and Mercedes in my life when I visted Beijing and other big cities in China.
