Dems believe everyone is entitled to an abortion with the sole exception of their parents.

Yes, I understand taxation.  I took several classes when I obtained an MBA.

You have made not attempt to address the premise of this thread.

The only question is, what separates this “wish list” from the agenda of the Communist Party of America?

Anyone, please feel free to chime in as T&T is lost for words.  Here is a link about the CPUSA.

um...  that's the same thing.....    


giving a group priority over each individual in it = the expense of personal freedom

and

the practice =  enforcement authority


so try again....

and again, they do often overlap and it's highly unlikely that communism is doable without authoritarianism in reality, but their could, theoretically, be a democratic communist society


Communism is the equal distribution of the economic pie, regardless of any individual characteristics that would entitle one to more or less of the pie. (this might be a highly positive version of the definition, because it's trying to get at the root of it, not the tactics it takes to get there which are always awful)

Authoritarianism is a form of government characterized by strong central power and limited political freedoms. Individual freedoms are subordinate to the state and there is no constitutional accountability and rule of law under an authoritarian regime. Authoritarianism has no goal of equal anything....   they (the government) are better than you and do not abide by any laws that don't suit their immediate wants.

Well pro golfer, if we weren't buying $3000 hammers, hiring out civilian contractors for our military and giving massive tax breaks to the rich and corporations, we might just be able to provide these things for  Americans.
