newtboysays...What?!?
That was quite something, starting by ignoring the impossibility of tunneling below the incredibly seismically active Bering straight and culminating with the theory that Russia and China are going to collaborate to build a $100 billion railway tunnel from essentially empty East Siberia to empty West Alaska and beyond with or without the USA's involvement.
I'm flabbergasted serious governments would admit they considered this plan.
What?!
JiggaJonsonsays...You know, the history of communism is complicated. The idea in principle seems nice enough, a government where everyone owns everything. Or as Marx puts it: "all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs."
But in reality, it's never been implemented. It's invariably the case that a ruling party emerges as the de facto "we'll make sure everyone is following the rules so that everything is fair and as soon as it's clear that everyone is following the rules, we'll relinquish power completely to the people."
Except...that second part NEVER happens. Russia? China? North Korea? Those are communist countries in name only. In reality, those are all totalitarian states by any definition. Any opposition to the ruling class when they are questioned ends in murder or massacre by the state; see https://newrepublic.com/article/117983/tiananmen-square-massacre-how-chinas-millennials-discuss-it-now
Freedom of political thought, religion, matters of economics are simply unavailable under "communist" rule.
There's decidedly very few ideas that are less democratic and less American than communism.
@bobknight33 you claim to be a patriot, I think you're a Russian troll who's assigned to this corner of the internet. Go preach your anti American propaganda in between borscht bites somewhere else please.
