Socialists/Communists: They're under your chair RIGHT NOW!

[Beta Test]

I genuinely wouldn't mind if Fox News was set on fire, but I don't think it's the right way for one to express their political beliefs in general.

So you're okay with illegal acts of violence as long as they are against your supposed political opposites?

Not for the most part.

I make exceptions, Fox News being one of them.

[Albul]

Well, in Murka-land, everyone ever-so-slightly to your left is a Communist-Socialist-Liberal-Anarchist scum and everyone ever-so-slightly to your right is a Fascist-Corporatist-Conservative-Theocratic scum.

That is absolutely ridiculous.

It also makes Fox able to present themselves as martyrs if that were to happen.

So I watched this town hall meeting, and I heard someone shouting at the man, "I'm scared of Obama!" When asked why, they replied, "Because he's a socialist!" In the documentary "Patriocracy", a tea party elderly woman was yelling at the aforementioned man (a former Republican representative ((Bob Ingles)) that "McCarthy had it right". This brings up something interesting: Why is do a few parts of America act so afraid and antagonistic towards Socialist and Communism? Those who do such treat it like it is the boogeyman who is out to get you.

NSG, my question is: is McCarthyism still present in America? (Well, of course it is, seeing as how so many people seem to want to delimb communists.) If so, how strong is it? (I'm going to test this by singing The Internationale in a trailer park in Mississippi. They'll probably kill me because anything they haven't heard of is un-American.) Why do you think it is still somewhat strongly present in some places? (Because the people alive during the Red Scare are spreading the scare to their descendants.)

I don't know why people think socialism is evil. Hell, people think non-socialist polices are socialist, it's really stupid and un-logical.

I dont know why people think Socialism is evil considering the US has had Socialist style policies since well before anyone on this forum was born.

He takes "freedom of expression" a little too far.

The US has a razor thin margin of acceptable political thought.

That's true. A real shame.

This is pretty incredible, and I honestly don't think you can be serious.

The only acceptable political thought is no political thought, but then they'd call you an "airhead" or worse... "normal"

Mind if I sig this? I'm really thinking of doing so.

I'm half-serious. From a completely serious point of view, I wouldn't do it myself and I wouldn't encourage it to happen, although I wouldn't particularly be concerned if it did happen.

From a half-serious point of view, I think it's a great idea.

This is why I wouldn't mind Balkanization of the US is that they'll no longer be the superpower of the world. The superpower has made the US paranoid of almost every group that isn't high-wing neo-conservatives.

Go ahead.

Now, I have a quote on the awesome quotes thread, more than 500 posts, a quote in someone else's sig, and a left-wing bias. Does this make me an NSG'er now?

I'm a communist so technically they'd be on my chair.

Well....in a sense yes it is. Socialism and communism are dirty words around here (I don't know about California or New York.) Around here the sentiment is quite strong, why, just the other day I saw this in Caldwell (City in Idaho)

I have more than five quotes in AQ, a post count that cannot have a candle held to it*, quite a few siggedies, and a political compass that makes many communists seem centrist.

I have bested you.

"Statism" is strongly linked to socialism, as they both entail partial or complete government takeover of enterprise.
