Most people on the Left are re-examining their rebuff of communism that they once had

Who are these "most people" ????????
Are they in the room with you
It's fascinating that everybody here that leans left are not communists.
So you go with "most people" BS
Because you can't deal with the left on this board because we have common sense
The left are not communists. We just have compassion the right lacks
Like compassion for Idaho citizens that have pregnancy complications and have to be flown out of state to save their life

just to clarify, not 'most people [period]' on the left, but most people on the left who at one point were against communism. That's why the "if so" was put in there, that you deleted

What Is Communism? Definition and History

Updated June 30, 2024
.
.
.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Communism is an economic ideology that advocates for a classless society in which all property and wealth are communally owned instead of being owned by individuals.

Visions of a society that may be considered communist appeared as long ago as the 4th Century BCE.

Modern communist ideology began to develop during the French Revolution and its seminal tract, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels' "Communist Manifesto," was published in 1848.

Communism was pitted against capitalism, which relies on democracy and the production of capital to form a society.
Prominent examples of communism were the Soviet Union and China. The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 but China has drastically revised its economy to include some capitalism.

I'm thinking cities underground, not bunkers, and many more than listed.

Continuity of government
.
.
.
The United States presidential line of succession is the order in which officials of the United States federal government assume the powers and duties of the office of president of the United States if the incumbent president becomes incapacitated, dies, resigns, or is removed from office. It was adopted in 1947, and last revised in 2006. The designated survivor is an individual in the line of succession, chosen to stay away from events such as State of the Union addresses and presidential inaugurations.

I hate official mystery letters.

The fake official letters advertisers send you somehow are always not quite right so I recognize them. Today I got one, but it was just to replace an expiring credit card. I always expect it to be some sort of bad news.

I don’t know what Apple does to their Magic Keyboard, but I’ve spilled things on it more than once, and although it threatens to stop working properly, it seems to come back to normal. I’ve messed up more than one windows laptop keyboard with similar accidents.

I turn the apple keyboard upside and down and shake as much fluid out as possible, but nothing else.

Florida has universities working on mosquito problems. I think instead of the idea of breeding sterile mosquitoes, they should breed fertile mosquitoes that love the light from bug zappers.

Also, car headlights on highways.

I don't know what it is, but mosquitos don't like me very much. I rarely get bit yet my wife constantly gets bitten. She must be more tasty than I am. We came back from a vacation once and we counted 63 current mosquito bites on her and I had one.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.
