How so? This is the best article I have seen in a long time. Commies are pigs. And it should be shouted from the roof tops.

"No one of this generation even know what a commie is."

We do know what the democrat party has in common with them. They support a strong central government which controls most aspects of society.

the Communists of the USSR called themselves "progressives",the communists of Red China call themselves "progressives",communists of Central and South America call themselves "progressives".Communists worldwide call themselves "progressives".
So,"progressive" DOES equal socialist/communist.
socialism is the first,necessary step to communism.
But people make too much about minor differences in definitions,when essentially and practically speaking,socialism IS communism.

What lying or blind fools you are!

This is why people like you who embrace the progressive socialist liberal ideology fail to see the forest for the trees. The original name for liberalism was communism here in the United States. One only needs to research the history of the communist party here in the US to know the truth. Socialism and communism require fear and retribution against the civilian populace to keep them in line. Lenin’s socialism killed a staggering 50 million plus during Stalin's time at the outset of WWII. You can deny these facts, denigrate the author, and insult those who agree with this article. However, it does not change the facts or alter the truth. Socialism/Communism without government sanctioned violent enforcement fails, period.

Commie = progressive
Progressive = commie

That's not too terribly hard to understand now, Raul, is it?

Is there any chance that you can back up your statement that Communism was only dangerous in the 50s and is much better now? Please use facts and real world examples to support your views.

You are so right. You can ignore raul though. Reflex. Blame religion for everything. I'm sure he didn't even read the whole thing and I am positive he did not follow up on the link. Liberals revere communists and dictators. They do not have a firm grasp on reality.

Those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it.
In Europe, especially in Germany, hoisting a swastika-emblazoned Nazi flag is a crime. For decades after World War II, people have hunted down and sought punishment for Nazi murderers, who were responsible for the deaths of more than 20 million people.

Here's my question: Why are the horrors of Nazism so well-known and widely condemned but not those of socialism and communism? What goes untaught -- and possibly is covered up -- is that socialist and communist ideas have produced the greatest evil in mankind's history. You say, "Williams, what in the world are you talking about? Socialists, communists and their fellow...
