Let me be specific Communism does not equal socialism. If you think otherwise then you are woefully ignorant of both.
My favourite government. So now you're a mind reader? Such arrogance. You have rally no idea what sort of government I favour. You only have your own bigotry that you follow quite assiduously. Socialism is not Communism. IN fact in Poland and Czechoslovakia the right after the Soviets took over the first people the NKVD killed were the members of the socialist parties that stayed in country. I also noticed that you did not respond to my statement about socialist countries having fewer atrocities than Communist regimes or Nazism. Let me repeat, eventually it may get through, socialism != communism. Read a bit on political economy before parroting right wing propaganda. You mean food production giants like Canada, Argentina, France, Germany and Australia? All socialist countries by your twisted definition. Again you are conflating socialism with communism.
