"It was? I learn something wrong from ..... err new from you every day.

Stalin died in 1953, the Soviet Union lasted until 1990. Do you see any problem there?

Under the 1977 Soviet Constitution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), the Chairman of the Council of Ministers was the head of government[1] and the Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet was the head of state

See any problem there yet ? You need more?

He rules for quite a while and shaped the Soviet Union. With a few short exceptions, there continued to be dictators. Trying to link socialism, which has been a part of the US and every other first world country to the stalin/"communist" boogieman is exactly what you and your ilk attempt.

Real communism- " The classless, stateless society that is meant to characterise this communism is one where decisions on what to produce and what policies to pursue are made in the best interests of the whole of society—a sort of 'of, by, and for the working class', rather than a rich class controlling the wealth and everyone else working for them on a wage basis. In this communism the interests of every member of society is given equal weight to the next, in the practical decision-making process in both the political and economic spheres of life. Karl Marx, as well as some other communist philosophers, deliberately never provided a detailed description as to how communism would function as a social system, nor the precise ways in which the working class could or should rise up, nor any other material specifics of exactly how to get to communism from capitalism."

Sounds just like the dictatorships of the soviet union!


Where are your thoughts on dismantling the military machine in the US? Funny how you skipped that.

Damn, you lefties just can't stop lying can you? You take what i said about babushkas sweeping streets and change it into a lies about dictators and Stalin. You are a joke Jhhnn.

For people that haven't read the whole thread let me post my actual quote, not the misquote that Jhhnn is presenting.



That's the whole quote that jhhnn took so far out of context. Where did I say anything about Stalin or dictatorships, Marxism or anything else? Nowhere! All I did was comment about the Soviets make work policies for full employment by having grandmothers sweep the streets with brooms.

Yes, and the Soviets did that based on how their dictator chose to do it. That was not and never will be communism.

I've been lead to believe that the GOP is focused on jobs... So what have they enacted to create more jobs?

Nothing.

If the GOP were serious about jobs, they'd propose an end to the H-1B and L-1 visa programs, they would oppose mass legal immigration and illegal immigration, and they would be in favor of trade protectionism.

However, policies like that go against the financial interests of the top 1% or 5% of the population. So, they can't advocate them. The best the Republicans can do is to hope for a proliferation of poverty-wage service industry jobs.

Avoiding made in China products while demanding for "Made in the USA" ,

and paying for Americans to cut their lawns or do the menial tasks like pick their vegetables just like all the rest of America including yourself, right?

What does being at the UN have to do with being a dictator?

You keep skipping right over dismantling our military because of teh evil socialism...

Attempted smear is attempted smear, something that should be obvious even to the perp. Feigned innocence isn't much of a defense.

The socialism=communism=stalin smear is just going to be repeated again in another thread. That is the job of most of these people. Spread fear and misinformation.

The only smear that happened in this thread is you and shadow lying about what I posted.
