I know it's communism; I've been around the block a few times And you're right about everything you said, hence why I realize it won't ever be possible yet wish it could be.

Sorry, it's in my system. I had to write an essay on the workings of communism for my global studies final...
If communism could be executed properly,even though that will never happen, I probably would support it, given the absolute mess of a government that runs this country. Who knows, maybe things will clear up when we get a president who speaks english.

My thoughts exactly. Communism in its purest form is actually a decent form of government when you look at it. With the exception in that its terribly easy to have a dictator or other take power over the others.
Doesn't help that when I say that, people look at me like I'm a terrorist (more than usual). Most of the Americans I know and live with are too ignorant to even know what Communism is. We're just trained to hate it. Then again, most people I know don't even know all the planets, let alone in order...

Could be worse. Most of my family are homophobic racists, who think that the Irish, Blacks, Mexicans, gays, pre-marital sex, and atheism are to blame for how screwed up our country is. But, of course, according to them, we are still the best country, as if it were some sort of pissing match. I'd rather be a Canadian citizen right now. At least my french skills would be of use up there.

Without anything driving it though, communism at best leads to an unchanging status quo as there is no real incentive for improvement and eventually that will lead to entropy.

Oh, it is. This is my dad's side of the family. They're mostly polish. My mom's family is mostly western European, with a bit of English and Irish mixed in, hence my name using the Irish spelling.

If the goal is to improve, let's just bomb ourselves back to the stone age - there's plenty of room for improvement down there!
