    In fact, I do believe that the only nations who are still communist in name, and haven't yet crumbled, have opened up their economies to at least some free market forces but simply maintain the Communist title when they should truly be considered at most to be socialists at this point in time.
    Yeah...still doesnt make Communism evil. (that proves people are evil)

    Christians have killed way more than Communists over the centuries (in the name of God or Country) so are Christians then evil? If yes then I accept your point. If you cant say yes then your whole argument holds no water.

      You're asking an atheist if Christians are evil. Just saying.

        Nobody has put capitalism to rest yet. It's alive and, well, it's alive...

        The people who create the next system won't really realize what they're doing -- they're just going to do what makes sense at the time and it will work and, holy sh-t, this New Thing works!

        The people who perform the coup de grace to the old system know it all too well, because along the way there is often social exclusion if not actual punishment. The Monkey People do not like their norms being violated.

            Nope. Never in the history of the world has a politician ever been treated worse or more unfairly than President Trump.
            tD has a point, though. The left is gunning for a coup d'etat.

            Andrew Johnson comes to mind as the closest sitting president.

              In the media's defense. Donald is a poorly spoken buffoon, who only makes policy based on personal (and friends) profit.

              He has earned his poor treatment.

                  It's not a coup d'etat if you impeach a president. We aren't a godd-mn elective monarchy. If Trump broke the rules he will be "tried" by Congress and removed. That's in the Constitution. If you follow the Constitution you're following the rule of the land, and in fact if you refused to remove him that would be a coup.

                  BTW, when I gave the scenario for President Schumer yesterday I was wrong. I should have said Pelosi (House post 2018 hopefully) not Schumer (Senate post 2018 hopefully).

                  However, here's something to consider. If the House and Senate need to confirm a new Veep, then it would be entirely possible for a 2019 Dem Congress to impeach both Pence and Trump and thus effect a change of party in the White House. I'll go on record right now as saying I completely oppose ever doing this. It would be Constitutional (the Constitution never mentions party and the Founders loathed parties) but it would not be in the spirit of our government. If I got a vote on say the House floor for impeaching Pence knowing it would transfer control of the White House from an R to a D, I would vote Nay.

                    And when asking that question, what is the stated goal for that party?

                    The Communist Party wants to be communist- where everyone is equal, and everything is equally owned.

                    The KKK want's to separate the white race from everyone else, and killing can be part of that.

                    Forgive me for noting that one isn't the same as the other.

                          I'm a Lutheran. We're all inherently bad people who are well-meaning and striving to do what's right.
                          Seriously though. Nobody is "better" than anyone else, whatever stupid choices we make or evil we commit or how many lives we save. It's all circumstantial.

                              It's like when dudes say they're flying the stars & bars to celebrate "historical heritage" or "states' rights." Well, yeah, but you've got a lot of baggage trailing along with that high-minded talking point.
