    And in the US, it's good policy to attack other countries. Only with bombs instead of words.

    Troll? How are half of these troll? They repsond directly to the article in question. Is it because they aren't pro-American? In noticed others that are equally pointless but pro-American are +2, +3, not -1 troll. The mods need to check their politics at the door.

    Without the Communists, America's politics are unbalanced and right-wing to the point of fascism at times. There is nobody to balance out the right-wing nutcases in the US. I'm not saying they'll ever be popular enough to bring about a government nor that they will cause the US to become a Communist state, but their presence is still needed. Besides, what happened in places like the Soviet Union isn't representative of what Communism can mean. Unfortunately most Americans do not have sufficient perspective to see that their state is very right-wing and unbalanced. And no, I'm not advocating Communism as my belief system either.
