Communism is as a cancer as Nazism was.....yet get's treated like an every day ideology. Communism killed hundreds of millions of people yet is STILL isn't classified as an ideology of hate.

Well technically it isn't, but you are correct to some degree. Communism isn't about hate, but hate always lurks beneath it.

Capitalism isn't as benign as you'd like to think either.

How does owning a gun give you a license to kill anyone you want? For god's sake turn off MSNBC....

Fuck China's government.... As these people fight for freedom, our current President wants to take our freedoms away. China is going to be the new Nazi country. Get ready for a new world war people. China has a history of being an aggressor, to it's neighbors, and to it's own people. Communism sucks.
