Communism is impossible to implement- it is based on erroneous assumptions and cannot opporate in reality. It cannot exist.
It is, however, usefull for dictators impotent in productive work, who want a good way to convince people to sacrifice and give them power.
We should implement the free society our founders envisioned, based on reason- on the nature of human interaction, and on reality. There doesn't have to be a sacrifice- mutual trade to mutual benefit is the rational interaction.

Collectivism = leftism? = racism?
Liberalism = individualism. True.
Individualism (for people AND corporations) = freedom?
Flat tax = equal tax % for all = fair?
Think about those question marks. Do not debate about big words with empty meaning, look at what Individualism and Liberalism ment for the Bush administration and see how it affected your country.

Collectivism belongs on the left. That's why a black collectivist, a hispanic collectivist, a white collectivist are ON THE LEFT. If you identify with a group you are a left winger. The more you move toward the right you care more about yourself and thus care more about individualism and every other individual.
Far Left - identifying with a group and only caring about that group.
Far Right - identifying as individual completely segregated from your own group and not giving a fuck about them.

Might want to get a dictionary and look up those words.

"equality and liberty": If you mean equality of opportunity, equal protection from force or fraud, equal treatment before the law, ok. But equality of outcome?Nope.
"Liberalism" in the Enlightenment was #1, not #2.
Nationalism is collectivism, the individual serves the State. How does that differ from Soviet collectivism, other than in slogans?
"Fascism" -a term coined by Mussolini. Socialism Lite. The State controls all economic activity, but allows a business to keep its name.
Oh right, because we all know liberals are anti-immigrant, anti-black, anti-government, etc.

Liberalism does not believe in the freedom to keep what you have earned or freedom from government intervention. But it certainly does advocate freedom from reality, thought and using other human beings as a means to an end either though exploitation or threats of death and imprisoment for wealth they never worked for. I'll give it to you, the conservatives are idiots, but the liberals a fucking insane. I mean, at least you can educate a dumb guy. Can't say much to George Orwell's "Middle."
