I'll responsd.<br /><br /><i>There is nothing intrinsically wrong with pure communism as there isn't anything wrong with pure democracy...</i><br /><br />There's no such thing as "pure" communism. Did you not read my post?<br /><br /><i>... but they will not work with people as they are now.</i><br /><br />Bullshit. Why not? What assumptions are you making about communism? Why would you attribute those assumptions to me? Especially on a post where I'm demanding that people not make assumptions about what I believe.<br /><br /><i>For them to work requires very intelligent people willing to be adult and accept their responsibility's for themselves and for the society.</i><br /><br />Paternalistic bullshit. <br /><br />Look: I'm usually slack about grammar and spelling (I make enough mistakes of my own), but seriously: if you're going to (implicitly) condemn ordinary people for their stupidity and irresponsibility, learn how to properly pluralize nouns in the English language.<br /><br /><i>The forefathers realized this about democracy and replaced it with the BoR and the Constitution and implementing a democratic republic.</i><br /><br />The founders wanted to make sure their slave-owning asses stayed in the driver's seat.<br /><br />Keep in mind that you're commenting on a <i>communist</i> blog. I share your namesake's evaluation of opinions: like assholes, everybody has one, and they usually stink. If you want to substantiate your opinion, feel free. Otherwise, you'll get the "just another idiot who can't read and comprehend simple declarative sentences in the English language" silent treatment.Larry Hamelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788697573946266404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28755195.post-16219702727764853252010-10-10T17:48:25.226-06:002010-10-10T17:48:25.226-06:00There is nothing intrinsically wrong with pure com...There is nothing intrinsically wrong with pure communism as there isn't anything wrong with pure democracy, but they will not work with people as they are now.

But in case you haven't read it, I wanted to recommend Bernard Shaw's "The Intelligent Women's Guide to Socialism, Capitalism, Sovietism and Fascism."
