Okay if you want to label FDR and the New Deal communist you can. Seems stupid to me to do so. But why should you be different on this issue.

The birth of communism was the American New Deal which was peaceful and included 100% democracy and civil rights.

The New Deal had nothing to do with civil rights. Blacks were generally excluded from New Deal programs.

the industrial elite rightwing of this country stole all the money and caused the Great Depression

See why I doubt whether you made it through college?

Shoot, I spat my diet coke all over the keyboard after reading this one. You really are funny at times. Please warn us next time...that really was a good one!

BTW, do you even know what communism is? It is nothing at all like you wrote...

Wrong, Communism only BECAME a police state ideology after the Soviets and others turned it into that. The birth of communism was the American New Deal which was peaceful and included 100% democracy and civil rights. It was the common wealth being shared to save the lives of tens of millions of STARVING Americans after the industrial elite rightwing of this country stole all the money and caused the Great Depression. Also, the birth of the unions and organizing for workers rights.
