communism

\Com"mu*nism\, n. [F. communisme, fr. commun common.] A scheme of
equalizing the social conditions of life; specifically, a scheme which
contemplates the abolition of inequalities in the possession of property, as by
distributing all wealth equally to all, or by holding all wealth in common for the
equal use and advantage of all.

Note: At different times, and in different countries, various schemes pertaining
to socialism in government and the conditions of domestic life, as well as in the
distribution of wealth, have been called communism.

Jay, I dare say that the historically feared and hated communism seems a non-issue now in comparison to Islamic fundamentalism.

Pronunciation Key (fnd-mntl-zm)
n.

1.A usually religious movement or point of view characterized by a
return to fundamental principles, by rigid adherence to those principles,
and often by intolerance of other views and opposition to secularism.

That last part is interesting in that we in the west could be accused of subscribing to a form of political fundamentalism and insisting on exporting our strict interpretation of democracy. Just musing........

cheers
