please, claiming most democrats arent outright communist is laughable.

they would want nothing more than a communist state if it werent political suicide. 

there really isnt any issue that they differ from communists on.

obama was a registered member of the New Party for crying out loud. thats a communists party out of chicago.

I'm not sure you understand what Communism is.

It requires the banning of private ownership of property, which is ridiculous because most Democrats (and Republicans) in the Senate are multimillionaires. It requires the abolition of the free market, which nobody in Congress supports. Indeed, communism can't really survive with elections.

Communism does not mean "higher taxes" and "ineffectual healthcare reform".


Yeah.. that's more facism then anything... but it's not surprising people can get things mixed up.  Afterall China is supposed to be "Communist" but they practice the most ideologically pure form of Hitlers "Third way" economics then pretty much any country in history... including argueably the nazis.

Third Way economics essentially being "People own their own companies, but the government can step in whenever it wants to correct things/switch things to benefit the state."

The definition of "communism" can vary wildly, but not one of them fits the Democratic Party. Perhaps some of the more leftist members of the party could be considered Social Democrats, but no further than that. Most of them are mild conservatives, to be honest, Obama included.
