Now I know that I am the product of 50 years of anti communist propaganda so both you and I keep that in mind. But answer me this. Did your dad believe that people should be forced to live in a manner that they did not choose becauz the state thought it best? Did he believe that people should not be allowed to freely conduct business if they so chose? My definition of power is to exercise control over the lives of others. Based on my definition of the phrase as used here a "true communist" would answer yes to both questions... <<Mother Teresa was probably a communist.>> I doubt that MT would answer yes to those questions. <<Lenin and Stalin and Mao and 'Lord of the Flies'. Them folks and piggies are not communist>> Ray thinks of the current crop of CEO's facing prison as "true capitalists"...are they? Look my response wuz to Ray's comment calling "true capitalist" pigs. I think my definition of "true communist" is as valid as his "true capitalist"..Probably you are as "true a capitalist" as your dad wuz a "true communist".....I wonder how Ray would define you ..How would you define yourself in this perspective? BTW strange as it may seem my dad wuz a communist by philosophy. He did not believe that communism as practiced by the Soviets or the Chinese communists of the time wuz necessarily the only way for communism to go. I believe events have proven him wrong.
