This is what a lot of blacks don't get about the Democratic Party. When they're useful to the Party this kind of stuff doesn't come out. Go against the Party and they get destroyed. Look at all the skeletons Al Sharpton has. But does anything happen to him? He brings in the vote.

Look up how many trillions have been spent on poverty without success. The point of fighting communism was to prevent all of us from being impoverished.

no the point of fighting communism was likely to steal resources, maintain american power, stop democracy and maintain power to the capitalist class.

the only reason people are still poor in america is a political choice.

What resources would we be stealing from Vietnam? Do you believe communism is synonymous with democracy?

i think workers controlling their jobs is synonymous with democracy

capitalism is antagonistic with democracy which is why the capitalists spend money on bribes. capitalism is also antagonistic with democracy because obviously workers following orders all day is not democratic. the capitalists bribe union leadership as well.

democratic revolutions can spread.

Yah, communism was working so well for the Vietnamese that they followed the Chinese by allowing capitalism as long as the Communist Party maintained power. They've done much better since.
