Absolutely AGREE.

Communism gets a horrible rep because of Stalin.. who did everything against the laws and ideals set by his predecessor Lenin. Stalin killed more people than Nazi Germany and unfortunately they were mostly his own.

Lenin killed about a hundred thousand but he only killed religious leaders and such. (something I as an atheist at least understand, though it isn’t very “human” to do such)

The point is even Lenin who is considered one of the greatest Communist leaders in history (Deng Xiaoping is up there as well) had many failures among his morality and could not lead his people with a pure heart.

As much as I love the idea of a true communism or even to a lesser extent anarchy (I still feel leaders need to exist), the problem is that as humanity rolls on less and less people of pure and of “strong virtue” seem to exist.

No more are the day’s of righteous actions coming from the church or religious raised. No more are the day’s of a hard work ethic supported by a strong sense of family obligation. True communism has fallen and in its ideal place lie the deterioration of man.

Well, don’t forget that you don’t have to be a communist government to use communist ideals. American democracy, as well as most of the world, has borrowed from the theories of Marxism and Socialism. Even though communism has it’s fatal flaws (what form of government doesn’t?), Marxism still plays an important role on the world stage.

I don’t think a two party system inherently ruins politics – even though splinter parties will never produce a President (barring something like the rise of Fascism in Italy/Germany, but that’s more like a revolution than anything a democratic process), through the formations of coalitions and taking away votes from Rep/Dem candidates, they do produce an impact and can actually get some legislation moved.

The problem is that there is a HUGE rift between our two parties. It’s a “with-us-or-against-us” ideology, where if a politician leans to far to the opposite side, they effectively commit political suicide. What’s even more a problem is that the political battlefield is so fierce that independents want NOTHING to do with it, which results in less voices BEING voiced, and the system just spirals downward.

However, I think people are starting to realize the situation, if only because Barack Obama has become so vocal about it. We’re seeing record voting numbers for primaries, and I think if Obama gets the nomination and holds to his promises, we might see some political scars (that have existed for decades, not just since the election of Bush) begin to heal.

Ultimately, I think the whole situation is the specter of the Civil Rights Movement hanging over our heads, where the White Privilege power base was really challenged (successfully) for the first time. We’ve got progressive liberals trying to fight for change, while we’ve got conservatives who, at their best, are defending a system that heralds back to the days of white power…and at their worst, are still trying to DEFEND that system of white power.
