Ok, tell me your objection and I will be happy too.
Otherwise I might be talking to myself.

At this point you have not given me any objection, so there is no sense in arguing with you.
the dictatorship of the proletariat refers to a socialist state in which the proletariat, or the working class, have control of political power.
I say that Russia and China are still communist despite the democratic veneer.

I don't understand though. Why are all the KGB goons in power still?
How do we know Putin and co are not doing the same thing? I did a lot of research on what soviet defectors said and wrote.
So totally dude, in the US the proletariat (street sweepers, bagel shop workers, waitresses etc) control what's happening on the Capitol Hill. Right on!

Yeah, we don't need any more isms.
We need freedom.
We need to reign in the elite class
We need equal opportunities all around, not just for people of stature (with money).
We need less power in corporate hands
And more power in the peoples hands.
No group of people should have all the power and money and control over the rest of the population.
Im not against making money, not at all. But who the hell needs to make more than a million a year? thats over 15x more than i make and i provide a legit service, not sitting in a chair signing a couple papers and playing golf.
Some of the top CEO's make over 10 million a year. And their employees make..what?
Kinda off topic, sorry.
Communism would only make the corporate machine even more profitable to the elite.edit on 17/1/12 by AzureSky because: (no reason given)
Putin wants nothing with communism, in any shape or form.

How do you know? You are trusting the word of a former KGB. Makes me wonder about you. You could be KGB.
Please don't try and convince me that the old communist system of Stalin wasn't really communism,
Communism is the abolition of private property, and individual liberties.
I see that you have a spiritual theme to your avatar and it's easy for people in Buddhism

NAZI was national Socialism.
Nazis were one of many nationalist and fascist political parties contending for the leadership of Germany's anti-communist movement. The Nazis claimed that communism was dangerous to the well-being of nations because of its intention to dissolve private property, its support of class conflict, its aggression against the middle class, its hostility to small businessmen, and its atheism
