I think you and alot of this country need to learn more about communism and see that is the direction we are headed in. That aside, my points still apply. The government has the means to become more overbearing then ever before.
BTW, this needs to be addressed - it is a fair bet I know more about communism than anyone here - after all I have spent the first few years of my life in one of those countries, and even after that, I have been much closer to the source than pretty much anyone here. So do not try to teach me
Also, it is always worth remembering (and pointing out to those in the US, who have never heard it because of all the brainwashing they have been subjected to by the mainstream media here) - before and especially between the wars, the people who were the most active supporters of communism all over Europe were mostly young intellectuals - writers, poets, etc. The kind of people like this one:
Nikola Vaptsarov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You certainly haven't read anything they have written, but I have and I can assure you the last thing those people envisioned was labor camps, a secret police to which 1 out of 7 people belong and everyone spies on everyone, rampant corruption on all levels, and all the other evils that plagued the years of communist rule. That's what they were fighting against. The problem is, as in most revolutions, the idealists either died in the struggle or were quickly swept aside by the psychopaths and those seeking personal gain in the first years after it.
