    Republicans have nothing to offer voters, so they make up lies about the democrats.  

    One of the biggest Republican lies is the "Democrats support socialism/ communism lie". They use that lie to frighten some people and make others angry. The sole purpose of the lie is to trick voters into voting for republicans. 

    1. China, Cuba, Vietnam, and Laos are the only socialists countries on earth.

    Only a moron would believe Democrats  want America to join that group. 

    2. The first rule of a socialist state is, "seizing all private property and businesses, so they can be state owned and run".

    That would never work in the USA. Name one group of Americans that would allow the state to take away all their privately owned businesses. 

    3. Look up the most financially successful US states, most are run by Democrats.  Then look up the poorest US states, the majority of those states are run by Republicans.

    Right now, poor Republicans run states benefit from federal tax dollars collected in rich states run by Democrats. 

    To me that shows us that the Republicans are the true socialists/ communists in the USA.  They act like they hate taxes, but represent states that can't survive without the tax dollars of successful states represented by Democrats.

    If a form of Communism or Marxism, was done CORRECTLY, publicly, with checks and balances and transparency, it could work.  I would like very much to see a country with universal healthcare, universal basic education and college or trade school education for those with the aptitude.  I'd like to see that every disabled person is cared for.  I'd like to see that EVERYONE has a job from the government IF they can't find a job themselves, and at least has access to a clean bed in a small private room and cafeteria food three times a day.  And I believe that if you get rich, when you die, your wealth shouldn't go to your children but should be re-distributed to EVERYBODY.  I myself stand to inherit, but I would give it all up if it meant everyone in my county would have all the things I mentioned above, including myself.  It's really not that much to ask.  But the governments that have tried it have hoarded, stolen, and abused, so the name "Communist" has become so dirty that it will take generations before anyone new will ever try it again.

    I support the part it shares with Socialism: the means of production (land, factories, fishing ships, mines)  should be owned by local collectives, and operated to meet the needs of the people instead of maximising profits for a small owner-class.

    As to the part that says "work according to ability, receive according to need"... I don't think that would work on a large scale or in a high-tech society

    Neither Socialism nor Communism is a type of government

    No not at all. I am all for a Democratic Republic just like it says in our Constitution.

    Republicans do you support the NAZI party?  Stupid question by the ignorant.

    No. That's why we're the Democratic Party, not the Communist Party. Communism is a system of government that nationalizes all commerce and industry such that there is no private ownership and all commerce and industry is run by the government. The Democratic Party doesn't support that. Your quest exploiting Y!A to intentionally disinform people is why Y!A is shutting down.
