ORIGINAL: ThatDizzyChick quote:
Then you are not a true communist because for the traditional communist my description was right on. Incorrect, that is not the traditional communist view, it is the Stalinist view, which is in fact not a communist view, but rather a totalitarian fascist view. Please, before you engage me in a discussion of political theory do yourself the favour of learning them. quote:
Your claim would make you a big government libertarian which is an oxymoron. Totally wrong. Pure communism would be the Thoreau/Wladens Pond example which proved unworkable. Even Marx spoke of a "brief" dictatorship of the prolotariat. No communist government has passed that stage regardless of how much time they had. Pure communism in therory is great in practice it never moves past the Stalinist model. It is always 'but with the right people running it" but they forget, power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutley. You talk about the abstract, I talk about the pratical application.
