The free market capitalism started in China in 1978 and even today the Chinese government can take away your business without warning. http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2...37-the-secret-document-that-transformed-china

The government in the US can do that too, they can even take your privately own land without compensation beyond what they themselves deem fair which in some cases has been absolutely nothing.

Communism isn't the same as authoritarian governments, if it was then the US would have been communist since it's inception.

Ironically the native american cultures that were here Europeans came were communist. Authoritarian came with organized farming and the end of hunting/gathering.

Awesome, now I have the perfect excuse not to go home for the holidays.

"Sorry mom and dad, but I'm not dreaming of any white (nationalist) Christmas!"

I guess I was imagining all the rich businessfolks in China tooling around in their Audis (a good friend of my wife was one)....I'm sure they just hadn't gotten around to giving all their money to the state yet in true Communist fashion.

China is a very strange place in many ways to Western people...I was only there for a few weeks but fortunately with my wife growing up there I at least wasn't stuck in only touristy Western spots. I had my picture asked for by random people ("please pose with my kids") on six occasions.

Authoritarian certainly, communist not so much. The gov does own a lot of the business there to be sure. Perhaps the Right in this country can march against Authoritarianism! The problem is, after they looked up what the word meant they'd realize they voted for it.

Your posts are often loaded with misinformation about the US. This is one example. With eminent domain in the US, the government offers you what it considers to be fair market value, but if you disagree, you can challenge it in court and a jury will decide what is fair market value. Juries usually favor the property owner over the state in those cases.

And before the next time you spout off about US laws, you might want to check your own. What we call eminent domain in the US is called "compulsory purchase" in the UK. So far as I can tell, it works almost exactly the same way.

People who rail against the communist probably have no idea what communism is. It isn't one ideology there are many. But you grow up hearing "its" evil all the time it's hard to have an objective mind. Some of the parts of the communist ideology we have in america now.

The same people who think Karl Marx was some sort of Russian dictator, responsible for millions of deaths.

It's so very frustrating to try to explain reality/history/truth to the under-educated/indoctrinated Trumpets.

"December 28th March Against Communism: Charlotte, NC

Bring your torches, guns, armor, gear, and flags! Stay nonviolent, and we'll have a great time. Augustus Invictus, Richard Spencer, Dillon of Vanguard America, and many more will be speaking. Once night falls, we'll (peacefully) march into downtown Charlotte and show the size our ranks."

They got called out on the gun remarks and have redacted that until they get their permits but still, this is the intent. This park is home to a Martin Luther King memorial statue and a Holocaust memorial monument. Should be fun!

Here is the flyer:

And now here is Anticom, looking exactly like Antifa except for the Trump gear.

I keep seeing posters crying about Antifa's violent ways and then here you are organizing terror marches with torches and guns. From where I sit in the middle of the spectrum you are both extremists.

I just called the Antifa action hotline to report this. 1-PUN-CHA-NAZI
