I acted like I didn't care and posted the following. Then I changed his password. He had no idea I knew his password. It is still there for all his friends to see. He is really pissed off. I took the door off his bedroom. I took all his video games and stuff and set them up in the sun room for his 8 year old sister to use. He has no privacy now. Instead of giving him his weekly allowance I split it up between him and his sisters. Then I took him down to Lucky's supermarket and made him apply for a job. They hired him the next day. But told he has to bring home his paycheck every Thursday so I can split it up amongst everybody. He is not very happy. His mother is backing me up 100%. His work loan is almost unbearable for a 16 year old.
u·nism (kmy-nzm)
NOUN:
A theoretical economic system characterized by the collective ownership of property and by the organization of labor for the common advantage of all members.
... Garrett, since you into communism-I will support you. To keep things at home in the spirit of things, all of your possessions are now shared with your sisters. You will now have to share in the workload of chores at home. All of them.
Since your mother and I are Capitalists we are exempt. Since you are the only communist at home, you get to do All the chores.

The jokes from IronCurtainKid.com are very telling. Communism is NOT nice.

Communism advocates for the elimination of private property, so whichever possessions he had should be shared in common if he were to live a communist lifestyle.

Well, no, see, his parents aren't showing him communism. His parents are not sharing the work load. Ergo, there's a bourgeois class inside the family.
So, his parents are showing him capitalism. Am I seriously the only one who understands basic economic theories? :\

If anything I'd call it more like feudalism.

Nazism is a right wing ideology and considered less of a threat to the American way of life. Communism is a LEFT leaning ideology, and will always attract a special level of American hate because it undermines the legitimacy of capitalism, and thus the legitimacy of current and established power structures.

So basically an ignorant parent decided to be a jerk to their stepson because he stated he was a communist?
Please tell me this is fake, its just awful parenting and a terrible message to the child. The only message we can take from this if its true is that the parents of this child have the view that they have the right to limit that childs free speech, take money he has earned and make him do all their shares of the house work for the pure reason that he expressed a belief.
Just wow...
It also shows the parents' and the OP's complete ignorance of what communism actually is.

I don't think it would be a good idea to do this for more than a few days, the point is not to punish but to test whether he is truly dedicated or not to the belief system. I regard communism as no ordinary ideology such as liberalism or conservatism, it is at the more extreme end of the political spectrum. It would be just as disconcerting to me if he were to become say, a neo-Nazi. I don't think making him do all the work would be fair, but as I understand it; communism wants to abolish the concept of money as well.
