Another rugged individualist cum capitalist, pronouncing against the evils of communism, from a purely socialist enclave. If you really believe all that capitalist mumbo-jumbo why not go somewhere where you can, you know, walk the walk. Actually pay for your medical care and stuff.....

Ayn Rand was a great thinker - I wish most people had 1% of her insights. Communism as propagated by the ruling class after 1917 in Russia was nothing more than pure imperialism developed by Lenin and Stalin and his cohorts. Historic Russia is only a fraction of present Russia and extended eastward no further than the Volga River and Ural mountains. Kazan, Ufa Ekaterinburg historically where not part of Vlodimir or Ivan Grozny Russia. Aristotle, Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels or Luxemburg never preached the type of social order implemented by Stalin in Russia or Mao in China which social order is referred by many as “communism”. Please remember that the first known revolutionary preaching the theory of true communism and succeeding to gain followers, was born on December 24 in Bethlehem and then crucified for his ideology by the Romans in Jerusalem. Modern day communism flourished in Israel within the so called Kibbutzim and proved not to be the most appreciated way of life by Israelis, as the movement dwindled. Communism is not fit for our civilization as way too many, negative character qualities are hereditary and the cannot easily eliminated. Communism as it was conceived 2 millennia ago is too utopian form of social order for the present human population and this is the sad part.
