    I was thinking about that like who the hell does not study history and understand that socialism and communism while really good ideas quite simple do not work. Everyone shares with their neighbor I have two so I will gladly give you one. Sounds great to me good idea now where the freak is this "Pie in the sky" as dink says?
    My relatives in Hungary got to see how it works being a bit on the wealthy side when the Hungarian revolution ended they were not so wealthy anymore. Communism has its good side but only for those who work up the pecking order in the political ranks and those jobs are very few. Everyone else is waiting for that gift box to show up on their front steps in the morning.

      That's the problem. The people that vote for this do not study history. Or economics. Or anything. All they hear is "Free stuff! Free stuff!"

The requirements for 'republican form of gov' clearly prevent dictatorship or any number of authoritarian types of government often associated with communism. Statutory rules also aim to prevent violent communist takeover. But the statutes don't seem to prevent a jackass like Mamdani from running for, or obtaining political positions. (it is done peacefully via votes)
        There is no law preventing a communist from being elected. But the Constition and federal and state laws
        prevent many comnunist ideologies from being implemented.
        We have met the enemy and he is us.

          The former Soviet Russia was
          "the warmth of collectivism."

          That failed horribly .

          America is built on rugged individualism.

            These people that claim socialism/communism is just "sharing" with your neighbors miss one key aspect. The part where the government decides who shares what with who and how much.

                  That was one hell of a fire. They should have stacked illegal immigrants to burn instead of pallets.

                    Being a socialist / communist while money rolls into your pocket is different. There is always an upper class and that's the goal of the communists, to become the upper class themselves while everyone else starves.

                    AOC has gone from cheap bartender to millionare in a few years, Maduro was a bus driver, Obama was an unknown community organizer, meanwhile we worked our asses off to have what we have.

                      When I had my business the IRS audited me almost every year. CONgress should be audited every year to find out where all of their sudden wealth comes from.
