communist? You think the right wing military industrial complex / mafia is communist? These are capitalist mafioso white nationalists who killed Kennedy, and who operate as the 'deep state'. Your post makes no sense, but it makes everyone here feel good so its true right?

We were warned. right or left makes no difference. the military industrial complex is just another name for "master".

The socio-political movement that began in ernest in the 1960s, and is presently destroying America, advocates for bigger government and government control over every aspect of individual life. It believes that government and legislation can right all social wrongs and make everyone equal -- not equal in opportunity, but equal in result -- except, of course, for a wealthy elite class at the top who is running the show and "equalizing" those below them. This is communist thinking. This is how communist and socialist states are organized -- a wealthy elite holds all the power, and imposes their "equality" on those less powerful than them.

Communist is when the dictatorship of the proletariat own the means of production. That is not the policy of the establishment. Big corrupt government works for capitalist corporations, not 'communist' ideals.

They are not capitalist, in fact they reject the idea of capitalism and the free market.
