Let's be fair. There's never been a true communist state that didn't turn into a dictatorship in very short order. I doubt there ever will be. Humans want leadership and human leaders want more power. Those two facets of human nature make communism a utopian pipe dream. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Roberts [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, August 30, 2010 5:24 PM To: cf-community Subject: RE: how do they come up with this crud?

It was a Marxist Dictatorship that started out as a communist movement. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:326326 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
