Communism especially Cuban style communism
has been dead for years.
Anytime there is a democrat president (especially a black one with a funny name)
right wing zealots (many ex cubans are republican) scream "Communism is coming!"
Never happens.

It's not going to happen overnight. If it happenss at all.
In order for it to be effective, you'd need a slow build-up, people in different parts of the country, and an orchastrated event(s).
It would need to be fool-proof and create a great risk of human life.
Now Obama may be narcissistic, egotistic, bombastic, and an idiot. . . . . . what was I saying???. . . . oh yeah, but he isn't stupid.

Democratising Global Governance:
The Challenges of the World Social Forum
by
Francesca Beausang
ABSTRACT
This paper sums up the debate that took place during the two round tables organized by UNESCO within the first World Social Forum in Porto Alegre (25/30 January 2001). It starts with a discussion of national processes, by examining democracy and then governance at the national level. It first states a case for a "joint" governance based on a combination of stakeholder theory, which is derived from corporate governance, and of UNESCO's priorities in the field of governance. As an example, the paper investigates how governance can deviate from democracy in the East Asian model. Subsequently, the global dimension of the debate on democracy and governance is examined, first by identification of the characteristics and agents of democracy in the global setting, and then by allusion to the difficulties of transposing governance to the global level.

It was the threat that built the huge military industrial machine
Assuming you meant to imply as a good thing.
it is the threat that put us on the moon
I bet the unions loved the compensations.
it is the threat that built 1000s of bomb shelters and the interstate highway system.
Which the libs would love to switch the role and latch onto the citizen's teat.
It is the teat that the right wing uses to suckle its authoritarian personality
Me too.
I wouldn't worry about it.

Communism is not an issue at all. That is just another scary term to get people wiggling uncomfortably in their chairs.

Really?... And the over what 125 - 160 million people who were murdered under socialism/communism in about 80 years was "nothing" according to you?... Or the millions who were inprisoned in gulags for not accepting socialism/communism?...
Please... You need to read a real book or two about history...
Fascism is the name for Mussolini's and Hitler's SOCIALISM...
