Why does the left embrace communism??

Question

Such extremely successful capitalists as Oliver Stone, Steven Spielberg and Michael Moore, pay court to Fidel Castro, in spite of the fact that Castro censors the Cuban press, persecutes homosexuals, imprisons AIDS victims, and executes his political foes. But, then, what else would you expect in a world in which Che Guevara posters continue to sell in the millions?

Speaking of millions, even I was shocked to read that, according to Forbes, Cuba’s dictator is richer than England’s queen. I knew it was good to be king, but apparently it’s even better being a left-wing tyrant.

Answer 1

For several reasons.

First of all they hate America.

Second of all they hate the fact that America was founded on Christian principles.

Thirdly they love the idea of being taken care of by Big Brother.



They believe that by embracing Communism they will be eradicating America along with Christianity and they will be the only ones left to reap the rewards and be completely cared for by their new found Communist friends.



But little do they know that they are in fact digging their own grave by embracing our enemies and betraying America.

Answer 2

They are Marxists.



There have been marxists in the USA since around the turn of the century, they went into hiding after WWII until Vietnam and then came out and started to take over the Democratic Party.



Just because Reagan defeated Russia in the Cold War does not mean that communism was defeated. They are still here and they will do anything to take control of this country.



And I am concerned that we are looking at a civil war before it is all over with.

Answer 3

The envious aspect of communism is the rejection of God as an ultimate authority in place of their own. Liberals see the type of power dictators, thugs, and communists have over the perception of morality, the press, their political enemies, and everyday people that cant be trusted to run their own lives without govt intervention. It is certainly the liberals that love to shutdown debate, advocate more govt intrusion, higher taxes, and advocate subjective morality in place of God. They like the control and power and want it for themselves. In essence, they love tyranny.



kukukachooinyourface>No, the only people that drag up left vs right are the people that know the difference. Are you telling me conservatism never becomes an issue and isnt moaned about regularly in the liberal media? Is it just your head that is buried in the sand or your whole body?



Us warmongers are the reason you arent speaking German and seeing anti-semite and anti-black propaganda in your local newspaper. War is needed to keep tyranny at bay. If you cant understand the fact that there are always tyrants just waiting for the chance to take away your freedom then you are beyond redemption.

Answer 4

The only people who drag up this left vs right horse piss or who seem markedly concerned about it are the rightwingers believe it or not. Lefties (who arent automatically commies BTW) are happy to live and let live BUT they keep an eye on the warmongers and challenge them because they know the warmongers are the barsids who will phuk things up for everyone else if they get their way to often. You will find that the warmongers of the world are all right wingers, and that communism actually works (if the country folk are generally poor,) but in countries like America communism will not work capitalism works in richer countries. Socialism also works, but the right wing nut jobs dont want to pay for it so they start spitting tacks and calling everyone else commies. I think its a little disturbing how your question about right wing pedos has been well and truly shot down in flames by whatsisface, its obvious they did their homework, so why did you ask that??? Surely you must have known there was a danger of getting egg on your face???

Answer 5

Some on the left are so out of touch with reality that they have no problems supporting socialists, communists, dictators, etc like Castro, Chavez no matter how much these tyrants violate human rights, murder political prisoners, etc. They just need to be not trusted and their movies or ventures not supported so we can show how much we disagree with their propaganda for terrorists and murders.

Answer 6

This is simply a misstatement. The "left" and the "extremely successful capitalists" you describe do not embrace Castro. Moore went to Cuba to compare the healthcare that the accused terrorists are given by the United States at Guantánamo with what the ininsured get here in America.



You include some details about the dictator to give your statement a false veneer of truth, but there's nothing in it that shows a relationship between the American "left" and Castro. You're not fooling anybody with this transparently deceptive rhetoric.

Answer 7

"The makes use of of the powers of government to realize a greater robust residing time-honored and a honest deal for all of the human beings isn't statism and it incredibly is not socialism. it incredibly is a ingredient of the yank custom." - President Harry S. Truman, 1950

Answer 8

simply put they don't know what they are embracing, they are more socialist and having not actually seen communism up front and personal, they are caught up in the rhetoric. Communism is full of censorship, no individualism, freedom is no existent, it calls for a dictatorship of the proletariat, and a dictatorship produces just what Fidel has one rich set of people doing what they like to their underlings. As an economic system it fails completely and as far as human rights its a travestry

Answer 9

correct on your points...



my answer is because they are morons...lol...!



child-like minds that believe the crap the left dictatorships feeds them to win them over, crap stories of equality when for example Castro has mansions while the people go hungry. I know I lived there my first 14 years!



and even though the west is not perfect and American democracy has many tunings to be done to it, it is by far BETTER many times to anything the left can come up with...!



as for pure comunism...lol...it is great...for the ants! but would be terrible for humans, since we LIKE individualism, and under a true Communist system you would have to say goodbye to that individuality forever!!!!!!!!!!



think about it!

Answer 10

God, don't you people ever get tired of your own bullsh88

No we don't, embrace communism!

Can't you ,just for once, think about the hate and misery you spread with your ranting and ravings?

Instead of poring out poison on the net, get off of you @ss and do something positive! Anything positive! I know it will be a stretch for a rep/ neo-cons, to think about someone besides themselves, but go for it!

Libs don;t always have the right answers, but at least we try!

Those who can! Do! Those who can't! Teach!

Answer 11

They think America is a horrible country.



They hate the American people and truely wish for the country to fall.



Communism is a sure way to ensure a counter productive country and economic collapse.



I didn't used to beleive this but after reading some of the left wing answers on here and seeing the things they do has turned my beleif that the left are nothing but traitors, dissedents, cowards, commies, and the woefully uniformed

Answer 12

They reject a God in Heaven, so they search for one here on Earth. They delude themselves into thinking that bloodthirsty dictators like him are benevolent. They see themselves as being "well taken care of" by someone like him.

Answer 13

seems like there is no middle ground any more these days. either you're full left or full right....Anyway look here's a communist nation that lived in the shadow of America and still flourished and Cubans are proud to be Cubans we owe him some admiration for that... The Queen doesn't really control anything anymore.....it's all parliament.anyway look athis spectrum

Answer 14

communism is based on every one being equal....



castro has a dictatorship



most liberals have some socialist leans,,, (depending on terminology) meaning, to force the wealthy to help the poor....

Answer 15

The elite and their propaganda machine have people believing they will get something for nothing.

Answer 16

Socialism and communism are more to the left of the most liberal of Democrats than fascism is to the right of the most "conservative" of Republican. That problem is evident in how middle class Americans have struggled during the Bush administration.



Take the cowboy hat off as it appears to be impeding the ability of your brain to function on a non-biased level...

Answer 17

Let me get this straight.



Because of a few idiots, you are going to lump us all in that group?



Since when does the left persecute homosexuals? And imprison AIDS victims? And I am talking American Liberal/Democrats here.

Answer 18

I always figured that Castro had Jane Fonda nude pics on his PC.

Answer 19

Most of the 99% are pretty fed-up with the exploitation of the 1%ers.



Your propaganda about Castro only convinces yourself.

Answer 20

Almost a good question. Substitute Socialism for Communism and you would have nailed it.

Answer 21

This is as sensible a question as "Why does the right embrace fascism?"

Answer 22

Why does the right embrace fascism?

Answer 23

Probably the same reason that the right embraces pedophilia.
