@PolsheVik Look, I'm a liberal democrat and I've never watched fox news in my life. But Jews were often jailed because they wanted to leave the country and would say so. Many authors were jailed for there pro-democracy writings, nationalists in central Asia were shot for there views, and many democrats who wanted fair elections were sent to Siberia. I want a strong working class and sympathize greatly with the poor, and I want the government to help them, but socialism doesn't work.

@TheDcrat ok obviously you lived 30 years under communism and you know better.

you must mistake communism with fascism... since when did communists jail poets, jews, etc? wtf where do you get that information from, fox news?

seriously stop watching your f*cking fox tv or whatever and read some books or memoirs of common people (not solzhenitsyn or suvorov- they were nazis)

[TheDcrat]

@PolsheVik If you can't figure out the differences between the Democratic and republican parties, your an idiot. Communists have one ideology, not many, and jailing writings, poets, nationalists, jews, democrats, ect. isn't a democracy.

@TheDcrat

lol please

capitalism = two people with different opinions on how to exploit the working class, and start another imperialist war

socialism/communism = a whole party with different ideas ask the people on how could they improve their way of living. It's called central planning

"crushed anyone who dared to speak out"

Where did you get that from?

[TheDcrat]

@PolsheVik In democracy, two people with different opinions on how to run government hash it out on election day. In the U.S.S.R, they all had the same ideas and crushed anyone who dared to speak out.

@TheDcrat

There doesn't need to be many parties to have democracy. In capitalism all you can do with democracy is choose your oppressor, you can choose another party to exploit you. In communism you can choose different leaders, MP's, and all that, it is called the peoples' democracy. Even Stalin and Kim Jong Il were being chosen democratically.

[TheDcrat]

@PolsheVik None of those countries had free elections. There were no opposition parties!! The Communist party won with 98% of the vote.

@scottishchap2008

if 20 to 60 million were slaughtered, why there was still a very high population growth, especially in Stalin's era? If so many people died and there was still population growth, that means there must have been like 20 kids in each family... come on, don't make up numbers believing that no one will check them...

and yea, you need to realize that everything you hear in media about communism is either nazi, troskyist or capitalist propaganda that wants to disgrace communism.
