You forever complain that the left doesn't defend the injustices done to the right. That was my point.

My post was not a complaint about what the left did in response to the right but rather about what the left did and did not do in response to communism. Even today on the Democrat's far left wing you can find support for communism. Communist supporters should IMO get the same near universal condemnation that Nazi supporters get.


First of all, communism does not invoke the fear in me that it does you. If that is typical of most liberals, then attacking communism [as I understand communism and not the way I think you see it] seems unnecessary.

Secondly, if there is support for communism on the far left of the Dems, and frankly, I don't know if that's true, that support is not for the kind of gov't that the USSR had but rather the communism as first promoted by Marx.

In fact, I think the fear that the right manifests over communism borders on the irrational.......assuming that its really communism that scares them. If, in fact, its a dictatorship that worries them.........then I can understand that reaction.
