Egad! You were right! Communism is about equal distribution of wealth, but it has nothing to do with eliminating free speech and reeducation camps. Governments claiming to be communist have perpetrated such crimes in the past, but those were the acts of individuals, not communism.

You call a democratic socialist state the "utopia of fools" so I must assume you were born into a well-off family and have never wanted for anything in your life. Say that you have the same opportunities as a hispanic child born in the inner-city to a single parent working two jobs just to make ends meet. I'm not about equal distribution of wealth. I don't mind people earning money. I just believe that with greater wealth comes greater responsibility to ensure equal opportunity for everyone. There is nothing wrong with wealth when legitimately earned. I can't condone earning wealth through government subsidies, laying off employees and cutting benefits to maximize profits, and other less-than-honest practices. In a completely capitalist society without any government regulation of business, this would happen. As it is, the United States is not even completely capitalist. Democratic socialism does work where it exists (where the United States has allowed it to exist because American likes to overthrow socialist governments using what some might call terrorist methods).

You're quite the arrogant ignoramus. It's clear that you don't look beyond your own limited experience at the bigger picture. You must be Raygun's twin.
