Why Are You A Communist?
?
Communist posters are not ready to admit the obvious.
Now they call themselves, liberals, progressives, middle of the road, compassionate conservatives, liberal republicans, socialists, etc
.
So anyone that supports regulating big businesses and using tax payer dollars to fund infrastructure, science and r&d = communism. You really don't know what the fuck you're talking about. I mean really.
Go live in the woods as you have no business driving on our roads.
Why can't the free market regulate businesses?
What kind of regulations are you referring to?
Why can't private business pay for science and R&D?
Go live in Venezuela and enjoy the Chavez' revolution.

Corporations that enjoy both individual rights and freedoms
but larger collective influence, authority and resources
can act as govt does but without the checks and limits normally put on govt.
!
The free market regulates after the fact and does nothing to stop unscrupulous players from moving down the road to take advantage of a new set of people. Private business usually don't have the money to do the really big things ( e.g. the Manhattan Project or landing on the moon) or there's no immediate profit in the research(e.g. basic research in science to find out how things work without a product as its end point).Why can't the free market regulate businesses?

Should a company be found liable for defective or dangerous products? Should a company be held liable for pollution? What about workplace safety! Should each company establish Permissible Exposure Limits for hazardous or toxic chemicals?

Do you mean wealth distribution the way trickle down economic policies redistribute wealth?Do any of you lefties who aren't communists believe in wealth redistribution? Yes or No.
Yes or no, asshole?Do you mean wealth distribution the way trickle down economic policies redistribute wealth?Do any of you lefties who aren't communists believe in wealth redistribution? Yes or No.
If one's politics don't perfectly mesh with a Reactionaries, it's just too simple for that Reactionary to cry "Communist!" without any further consideration.Channeling Joe McCarthy – the reactionary right never changes.And who, pray tell, are these communists?
I guess that is for them to say, isn't it? After all, the question is directed at the communists. Why are your feathers so ruffled over this?
Well, do you mean redistribution from the bottom up as in trickle down or redistribution from the top down?Yes or no, asshole?Do you mean wealth distribution the way trickle down economic policies redistribute wealth?Do any of you lefties who aren't communists believe in wealth redistribution? Yes or No.
It's as if this thread were from the 1950s.
Of course most conservatives are still stuck in the 50s.
I'm talking about politicians taking money from someone and giving to someone else. Is that clear enough for you? If you don't want to answer the question, don't waste my time.Well, do you mean redistribution from the bottom up as in trickle down or redistribution from the top down?Yes or no, asshole?Do you mean wealth distribution the way trickle down economic policies redistribute wealth?Do any of you lefties who aren't communists believe in wealth redistribution? Yes or No.
And are you mature enough to leave out the sophomoric comments? Let's see....
What nations do not redistribute wealth?Do any of you lefties who aren't communists believe in wealth redistribution? Yes or No.
I commend Tom Sweetnam for this thread. He outed a number of commies without having to name even one. They just stood up and outed themselves. Brilliant, Tom.
Countries fall to communism through incrementalism. They chip away at the foundation of a free society little by little, over time. There's nothing wrong with being vigilant and expressing concern about the encroachment when we see it, and there's nothing wrong with challenging them to a discussion.
Seems I see a LOT of this type of rhetoric here.Hard to find any Communists in Russia or China, let alone here. Your labeling of anyone that disagrees with your radical view of the world is simply an indication of your mental problems.

- What are the CPUSA views on the environment?
One of our main slogans is "People and Nature Before Profits." We are for developing policy that provides for a sustainable economy and a sustainable ecology. Where possible, we participate in environmental movements, and recognize and work on the environmental aspects of struggles on the shop floor and in unions.
We oppose drilling in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge and we oppose the use of nuclear power until there is a safe way to dispose of waste (and if there is no safe way, don't use nuclear power at all). We fight against subjecting workers to untested new chemical compounds with unknown health consequences, currently being introduced at the rate of 3,000 or 4,000 new compounds each year. We support the use of sustainable forest practices, which also are more labor intensive, creating new jobs and job retraining for laid-off lumber workers.
We seek to build unity between the environmental movement and other important movements: the labor, civil rights, women's, youth, peace, and immigrant rights movements, to name a few.
To build a better world, we must have a world to build on. The greatest environmental threat is that of nuclear war. We are for complete disarmament and for the destruction of all nuclear weapons.
There was environmental damage in the former socialist countries. Some of that was due to their efforts at forced industrialization, which put the environmental dangers of such development low on their list of priorities. A related problem was that in adopting machinery and industrial processes from advanced capitalist countries, they unintentionally adopted the capitalist economic realities embedded in the machinery and processes. In other words, capitalist industrial development is based on not having to pay the costs for most of the waste products it generates. When socialist countries used that as a model to develop their own industry, they ended up with the same skewed industrial waste model.
They did this for several good reasons—to short cut the process of technological change, to quickly provide more goods for their citizens, to be able to compete with capitalist countries. However, unintentionally, adopting technological processes designed to function in capitalist reality, they brought in environmental problems that relied on the ability of industries to dump waste without paying the social and environmental costs. To adapt, rather than just adopt, major industrial processes will take more time.
- What does the Communist Party stand for?
The Communist Party stands for the interests of the American working class and the American people. It stands for our interests in both the present and the future. Solidarity with workers of other countries is also part of our work. We work in coalition with the labor movement, the peace movement, the student movement, organizations fighting for equality and social justice, the environmental movement, immigrants rights groups and the health care for all campaign.
But to win a better life for working families, we believe that we must go further. We believe that the American people can replace capitalism with a system that puts people before profit - socialism.
We are rooted in our country's revolutionary history and its struggles for democracy. We call for "Bill of Rights" socialism, guaranteeing full individual freedoms.
Until we win enough support to change the system, communists call for radical reforms under capitalism. We call for nationalization of the banks, railroads, and industries like steel and auto. Everyone who wants to work should be guaranteed a job or get unemployment payments until she/he can find a job. We say put the unemployed to work at union wages on massive public works programs to rebuild our cities, provide affordable housing for the homeless, build mass transit, and clean up the environment!
Our outlook is based on the social science of Marxism-Leninism. We study history, politics and economics in order to change the world.
Well again, trickle down did the same thing. Are you in favor of that type of wealth redistribution?I'm talking about politicians taking money from someone and giving to someone else. Is that clear enough for you? If you don't want to answer the question, don't waste my time.Well, do you mean redistribution from the bottom up as in trickle down or redistribution from the top down?Yes or no, asshole?Do you mean wealth distribution the way trickle down economic policies redistribute wealth?Do any of you lefties who aren't communists believe in wealth redistribution?

IMO, he did no more than wave sheets of paper in the air.Name the ones he 'outed'.I commend Tom Sweetnam for this thread. He outed a number of commies without having to name even one. They just stood up and outed themselves. Brilliant, Tom.
