Of course you're kidding, well, maybe not. :roll:I present you the 10 pillars of communism, as outlined by Karl Marx himself in The Communist Manifesto. As you can see, these are pretty much the talking points of the Democratic Party in the United States today.
1. Abolition of private property in land and application of all rents of land to public purpose.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transportation in the hands of the state.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of Industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.
10. Free education for all children in government schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc. etc.
This list could have come right out of President Obama's state of the union speech. What do you think, is the modern Democratic Party very closely aligned with the core beliefs of communism or what?
Just because there might be a few commies inside of the democratic party does not make their views or their policies communist. Just like the extreme right does not make all of the republican party extremist.
Name a few.
Do you not understand "there might be", the existence of commies is very much "up in the air" so naming them would be more than a bit difficult.

No. and my powers of observation are much stronger than the OP.
Now, if someone said they thought there might be communists in the GOP, I might agree wit dat.
You just might agree with that, alright. It might just be stupid enough to make the cut for you.
Well who is to say, the GOP has their radicals the same as any other political party, now go ahead and say there's not.
