        Actually the assumption of equality, regardless of sex has been labeled a socialist idea repeatedly, and to some extent is true. In a society of equals, which is what is generally proposed(if not implemented) sex is not a determining factor in social placement. Compared to the ideas on sexuality and relations based on what's contained between someone's legs that we have here in the US still, that's not half bad. But why cite ideas when you can list statistics generated by poor implementation.

          Post the number killed by facism and capitalism, just for contrast, would you? Oh and when you figure out black propaganda and what it means, let us know. Oh hey, there are 3 threads below waiting on you for a reply to a point. I am sure you know that because you realised you had no way to counter the argument and made a new thread instead. Finally: At least 3.5 Million of those people weren't killed by Communism. They were killed by a man that makes all other tyrants look pretty reasonable. Stalin. You know, that guy that had people taken out of pictures after killing them because he was a paranoid nutcase that also happened to be in charge. If you put him in charge of ANY type of government, he would have been just as bad.

                No, Stalin was a dicator and a tyrant, you moron. His purges had nothing to do with actual Communism and everything to do with him being in power and being one of the most evil human beings to ever exist. If the only requirement for a death count being attributed to an ideology is that the guy in charge of the killing says they are a member, I have some bad news for you. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were done by capitalists. Death count in Iraq, capitalists. Afghanistan... Capitalists. Don't try that tack with me, junior, yer too young and stupid to win this argument. Oh yea, and are you going to respond to the fact that you were shown to be dead wrong in the whole blatent lie about vaccines being mandatory, pwp?

                      You missed the rest, moron? Put him in charge of a capitalist country and you would have likely had the same result. Evil doen't need communism to be evil. It just needs a place where the people are too uninformed or afraid to stop it. (See Cheney.)

                        The USSR was not a communist regime. It only CLAIMED to be one. In reality, it was a totalitarian regime that spouted communist propaganda. If the leader is living in the lap of luxury, while the proletariat is dirt poor, it's not true communism. In true communism, EVERYONE is equal, and no one has (much) more than anyone else, regardless of occupation or position.

                                You know, true communism has never been actually implemented on any society, so really none of this matters. Any 'communist' leader you reference was in actuality a dictator or tyrant misimplementing or twisting communistic ideals for his own personal endeavor. So, umm, you lose?

                                  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union#Stalin.27s_rule[^] Look at the "Stalin's Rule" section... "On 3 April 1922, Stalin had been named the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Lenin had appointed Stalin to be the head of the Workers' and Peasants' Inspectorate, known by the acronym Rabkrin, which gave Stalin considerable power. By gradually consolidating his influence and isolating and out-maneuvering his rivals within the party, Stalin became the undisputed leader of the Soviet Union by the end of the 1920s establishing totalitarian rule. In October 1927, Grigory Zinoviev and Leon Trotsky were expelled from the Central Committee and forced into exile." It was intended to be socialist, but Stalin turned it into a totalitarian regime, disguised as a communist state. If you want non-WP references, you can look them up yourself, because you never actually read my posts anyway.

                                    You know, true communism has never been actually implemented on any society, so really none of this matters. Any 'communist' leader you reference was in actuality a dictator or tyrant misimplementing or twisting communistic ideals for his own personal endeavor. So, umm, you lose?

                                      And this guy: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_pentagon_metro_shooting[^] Looks to have been a truther . Now, I'm not even referring to the fact he thought he was going to attack the pentagon, but rather his choice of armaments. I mean: A California man killed in a shootout with Pentagon police drove cross-country and arrived outside the military headquarters armed with two semiautomatic weapons If you're going to attack the government. Please don't suck at it, all you'll do is scare the other stupid people and give the government an excuse to entrench itself further and expand it's ability to detect any further such attacks. All you'll accomplish is making it more difficult should there ever be a real need for a revolution.

                                          Pillowpants, you have no idea what you're talking about. The principle of communism is "From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs." In its most ideal form (Never achieved in the real world), power is distributed 100% equally.
