If Communism is where the government runs Manufacturing...?
Then why do some people call it communism is the Government runs the Commons? This would be as grossly inaccurate as calling Conservatives who want to give no-bid contracts to Blackwater Fascists because of the Government/Corporate coalition. Has any liberal ever suggested the Government should run Manufacturing Plants, which are supposed to be run by Private Corporations? I certainly haven't heard any. I guess my point is, there are Communists and Fascists in America, they're just not the Neoconservatives and Liberals who get accused of these things. Neither of our groups are arguing for the Government/Corporate coalitions, or the Government takeover of Manufacturing. Competition is the American Ideal.

- Humm by what I hear most of them say about big business corps. I think that's what they want. America does better when private industry and competition is thriving.
- I would say, in America, what Manufacturing company or corporation can really get ahead without government contracts or favorable tax deals? Look at GE/NBC, they say they have green technology for sale (as long as they get subsidies) but they're also busy building weapons for the army and creating dozens of environmental disasters. If a corporation is that reliant on government funding, you're not really talking about capitalism anymore. Fascism, socialism, communism, they are all words that can be used to describe a merger of corporate and political power. But when Haliburton and Blackwater get more freedom than the average person, and when your tax dollars are used by threat of force to build profits for questionable companies, that can't be considered capitalism. Its already begun, so hey, why not add free healthcare on top of what we already can't afford? (PS: GE Makes medical equipment, so universal healthcare will mean more contracts, more corporate cronyism yet again) http://www.undergroundpolitics.com/index.php/markets_and_economy/nbc_msnbc_and_ge_campaign_financing.html
- Our country is so politically divided right now that we exaggerate the traits of the opposing party. The shift of the Democratic party further to the left is somewhat frightening to me at this time of growing conflict.
