We are getting into semantics and definitions now. I was using meaning number 1, which I thought I made clear: < Main Entry: com·mu·nism Listen to the pronunciation of communism Pronunciation: \'käm-y?-?ni-z?m, -yü-\ Function: noun Etymology: French communisme, from commun common Date: 1840 1 a: a theory advocating elimination of private property b: a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all as needed 2capitalized a: a doctrine based on revolutionary Marxian socialism and Marxism-Leninism that was the official ideology of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics b: a totalitarian system of government in which a single authoritarian party controls state-owned means of production c: a final stage of society in Marxist theory in which the state has withered away and economic goods are distributed equitably d: communist systems collectively > There is a strong collectivist attitude in most democracies and that includes the USA, which is very far from the early 20th century capitalism when there wasn't a lot of dole, and not much BIG BROTHER government.
