See, there you go again. Communism is not a threat. We do not have to worry about it. We have as much to worry about them, as we do dentists.

I beg to differ.

You are the constructor of monster strawmen. Just because there is no immediate threat to our survival from the communist, you conclude that there is no threat at all.

Here is one scenario: China, a communist country, is in danger of economic collapse. If that happens, the government of China will use the same tactic that the dictators in the Middle East use to suppress revolts, to blame it on America. They attack Taiwan, and then what do we do? Let them have it, or do we honor our treaties?

Far fetched? Not really.

Or how about the danger of the entire African continent coming under the rule of a communist dictator?
