I understand for most who think Communism is a bad thing, the Soviet made it that with the help of Stalin and his unyielding bad rulling.

What I have learnt is this,

Communism may have worked in 1700 & it may work in 2070 but that dosn't mean that it will work today in the here and now.

I have found that I have a racial view of late of the world. I am earnestly attempting to interact successfully with the world & trying to get the world to do the same.

Life beat me a couple of years ago now. I since became humble. I think I hit maturity.

America scares the s**t out of me. but even here I am reaching out to the American ppl.

I have contensious views but that is the nature of politics.

There is no "right" & there is no "wrong" there is only popular opinion.

I went into a burger joint & the guy dropped my burger on the floor. He picked it up, dusted it off as if it was "all ok". "what about the germs" I said. "oh germs don't exist", he said " germs are just something they made up in order to sell you detergents"

These forums are working for me at the moment & are a "political force".

so there is your answer, 68kmla is my political allegience & I recognise no other.

Second, I don't like the governments path in the US today. Bush is, frankly, an idiot, and the worst thing to happen to this country since 1776. The second worst thing is Disney, since it's trying to destory the Public Domian, in which I beleive we cannot have a society without.

I beleive in a government of little power, specific duties:

~Provide a military
~Provide a civil service
~Public education thru an Associates degree (possibly further, see below)
~maintain the transit and travel system, includeing nationwide mass transit
~Provide a public health system, physical and mental, free for all citizens

State governments may be entitled, but public demand, to perform more duties, but that's about it.

I beleive that every citizen has an obligation to serve the rest of it's population, being an active part of their own governance. You don't have a choice not to vote. You vote, every time, unless you're in a coma.

As far as civil service goes, All citizens should be required to serve the country in some capacity. Whether it's in the military, or the civil service. What you do will also determine certain benefits you receive. Join the military for 6-8 years, or the upper echelon of the civil service, and you'll have your higher education, all of it, paid for completely.

What is the Civil service? It's the citizens working in the court systems, medical, fire, police... it's working in schools, the public libraries. Public Works, civil engineering. Garbage collecting.

Refuse to serve in such capacity? You always have that choice, and you realize that you'll need pay for your education past the government supplied Associates programme, and you'll never see a Social Security check in your life, but you'll pay just as much in taxes.

The main problem with Soviet Communism was not that there was bad ruling specificly, but rather the human spirit. Human kind is driven by a value of self worth. The more items of value you possess, the more you consider yourself of value. It is natural that one person would want something over another person, too seem "more important".
