commies blow chunkwads I dont wanna have to wipe my ass with newspaper for the People's Republic

Or wait 5 hours in line for a half-assed loaf of bread for The Proletariat.

The way that the Red Brigades try to implement their way is on a small, terroristic way. Socialism and Communism is great on a large scale, like in a country like America or Russia. Small scale communism cannot be used because you need to have all elements of a government to run a fully operational Union. Elements in this category includes farmers, manufacturers, workers and Politburo Representatives. If you cannot implement all of the columns that hold up the state, your communist government will be nothing.

Are they still around?

I disagree with violent so-called communism on the grounds that encouraging the slaughter of innocents for their beliefs are not Marxist. So called communist countries have violated the most basic Marxist idea, which is not having a ruling class. These countries. I am a Marxist personally, and I cannot stand when Americans hurl out ungrounded accusations at things they fail to comprehend.

every sane person hates communists and terrorists

The Red Brigades were a bunch maladjusted left-wingers who tried to cloak their activities with legitimacy by spouting anti-capitalist rhetoric (most of which was incomprehsible drivel). They got their comeuppance when BG James (Jimmy) Dozier was kidnapped in Verona, and the Italian police and intel agencies finally got into high gear and squashed them and the other Italian terrorist groups (like Autonomia Operaia). I lived in Italy during a significant period of BR and AutOp activity; there weren't many Italians who thought that those organizations were doing anyone any good. I could go on and on about individual episodes of terrorist activity and the actions of the Italian authorities (the Carabinieri have proven to be highly effective against terrorists). Bottom line: the Red Brigades were hypocritical murderers who enjoyed the limelight. Good riddance to them.

You people have got to be kidding me. How could anyone support communism? Have any of you FOOLS learned nothing from history? Just look at the twentieth century. The communists destroy culture and religion, they torture and butcher hundreds of millions (Pol Pot MURDERED about 1/3 of his own people in Cambodia for example, and the Soviets were far worse than the Nazis), and to top it all off, the only people who chose to become Communists (not counting the ones who are forced to accept it by tyrants like Stalin for fear of death)are the good for nothing dregs of society and psuedo-intellectuals, all of whom are too lazy and cowardly to take personal responsibility for their own lives; for their own success or failure. All communism is, is a system where the dregs of society steel from the people who have actually done something with their lives,and then murder them. This is what you maniacs admire? You are the lowest form of live on the planet, below the simplest of animals. You are parasites. Please, tell me about ONE, just one successful commie nation,please. By the way, it's nations like America that won't kill its citizens just for having unpopular or antigovernment viewpoints. We free western nations have freedom and indipendance. We aren't treated like dumb dogs by our governments. Please, show me this in a communist nation. Guess what: YOU CAN"T!!! Do you know why? It is because communist nations are ruled by thug-tyrants that love to butcher innocent men, women, and children. You should be ashamed of yourselves for supporting such a sick, depraved, murderous, bloody idealology!!!

"China is in the gutter". What a joke! America is already socially in decline. You just have to look at what fat, grotesque creatures Americans are. Not to mention ignorant and self-absorbed.

Well Communism has certainly worked well this century, hasnt it? Russia collapsed, China is in the gutter, except for Hong Kong which isnt really communist. North Korea is one of the poorest countries in the world and are trying to start WW3, Cuba has dozens of people floating on almost anything to get away. Hmmm.....

"Communism Sucks!" I wish stupid people who post things they don't know about weren't allowed to post. Actually, Communism is better than the so-called democratic regimes in most countries, because if applied in the right way, you get the principles Marx spoke about. A no-class society, with the workers getting what they work for, and not being exploited by capitalists.

Less active than other groups. Italian Marxist-Lenninists that assasinates politicians, political advisors and blow up bombs in public places. Best Known for killing Moro and recently Berloscuni's ecconomic advisor Pr. Bagi. The union movement got so powerful under the previous Prodi government that a boss could not hire or sack anyone without union aproval. Bagi advised Berliscuni for ecconomic progress this must be changed. The Italian Left and much of the Italian media in my country said 'that they had every right to kill him.'

I wish there was a zero rating. Communism sucks!
