Clearly you do not. Back to community college, kid.
Revealing that you used the 'quote' feature and deleted the evidence I posted. Why is that?
You are unable to engage in an intelligent debate, so you erase what you can't address.
You didn't post any "evidence" you idiot. If you are really determined to let everyone know how ignorant you are, take out an ad in the newspaper.
Yes, I did.
Socialism is liberal. More people (preferably everyone) have some say in how the economy works. Democracy is liberal. More people (preferably everyone) have some say in how the government works.
Communism is conservative. Fewer and fewer people (preferably just the Party Secretary) have any say in how the economy works. Republicans are conservative. Fewer and fewer people (preferably just people controlling the Party figurehead) have any say in how the government works. The conservatives in the US are in the same position as the communists in the 30s, and for the same reason: Their revolutions failed spectacularly but they refuse to admit what went wrong.
A common mistake is to confuse Socialism, the economic system, with Communism, the political system. Communists are "socialist" in the same way that Republicans are "compassionate conservatives". That is, they give lip service to ideals they have no intention of practicing.
I am sure your parochial indoctrination is standing in the way. But when you understand that conservatism is based on latitude, longitude and date of birth, you might have an epiphany. Unless you believe a conservative in Russia would want to 'conserve' capitalism, the US Constitution and the tenets and orthodoxy of America?...
While not all conservatives are authoritarians; all highly authoritarian personalities are political conservatives.
