Anyway, I make my statement based on the historical fact that men have always sought to dominate/control other men for their own gain. In reality, not theory, Communism dictates rights come from the "state" (other men). These men are subject to human failings and we see what happens (my previous post, 94M dead). This wonderful experiment in democracy and the belief that all men have rights not given by other men, but by God, is currently the greatest force for freedom from government oppression the world has ever seen. Once you've "experienced" a bit more of life I'm sure you'll be a great voice for democracy and conservatism.
Haven't you heard the quote; "If you aren't a liberal at 20 you have no heart, if you aren't conservative at 40 you have no brain". |
You must have missed the point where I said once we have shifted to conscious thinking. The idea is that if we could deny our egos, a commune would best serve everyone. Hard to believe, I know.
Also, don't stereotype too much. You have no idea what my beliefs are. Just because I try to think positive, I must be all those "bad" things you mentioned?
Haven't you heard the quote: "You can't teach an old dog new tricks."
BTW, I'm mostly conservative -- trust me.
