communism: A system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people.
You can see the left is communistic just from this definition. The authoritarian part is brilliantly displayed in the widespread lying and vote theft of the election. Republicans don't try to steal votes as a group because there is respect for limits on a government.
The left is all about progressing to a higher social order. They find reasons to claim moral superiority in how they protect the mud dawber, how they protect gays, how they refuse to protect white males, how they no longer protect all immigrants but only illegal ones, and so on. They thrive on social justice causes.

They aim for income equality. This is redistribution of wealth, a key component of communist rhetoric. The trouble, of course, is that in practice the most powerful people take everything from the masses they came to liberate from the oppression of capitalism. You will find far leftists like DeBlasio, Sanders, and others, want to do away with people paying rent. They want rental properties owned by the state. They are moving toward trying to take away private property from landlords.

Capitalists, especially when combined with trying to adhere to the Constitution, believe in the worth of the individual, while communists see the state in charge of the masses as the model of government. Wherever there is communism, there is suppression of free speech, compulsion to toe the party line, loss of middle class and shrinking of wealthy class, more draconian laws. This is what is evolving in America through the Democrats, not the Republicans.

You're right about the issue being the marijuana (or "marihuana"--top of page 3) issue. Here's the legal decision in the case of William Bailey vs. Antrim County.

No, I have no idea who the pilgrim society is.

Head of CIA until a few weeks ago.

Yeah. Here's a right-leaning site in Australia that reported on it. Don't know their source. They may all be getting it from someone who is spreading a rumor.

For more than a year before the Berlin wall came down in 1989, a church in the East (communist side), began having a prayer march every Monday night. They carried candles and sometimes sang, and their pastor led them. They walked near the wall, and met beforehand to pray for their freedom every week until the wall came down

I agree that there needs to be a visible / vocal protest now. Many Democrats know very few details about the fraud that took place because they aren't told them and they have learned to just accept what their side tells them is true. If Republican voters are quiet and unseen, Dems think we are mostly coming around to Biden being the winner.

Now is the time to do something in large numbers to show we are NOT in agreement with what is going on. I don't mean anything violent, though, and I know that any marches we would have would bring out BLM and Antifa and we would be unprotected. So, maybe the best thing is for us to cal leaders everyday and send emails. It would be best if we could come up with something that everyone can get on board with, and quickly!

Thank you. You are so right about our relationship being more important. We talk about politics every so often, sometimes getting into heated discussions, but always ending happily. One time, I asked him to tell me one instance of socialism / communism that ever worked anywhere. He looked startled, thought a minute, and said he couldn't. That was a chink in the armor.

I am afraid that if he accepts this election as valid and Trump doesn't prevail in the election, my son won't have a good chance ever again to see how evil the dems are. There is so much clear evidence of cheating available, if we could just get dem voters to look at it and rationally consider it.

Great points. If we get into a back-and-forth discussion, these will be ones I can point out. Others pointed out that little drips of information is probably best. These are good, concise points.

Congratulations! What a good brother! I bet she is thankful you kept at it the right way.

Thank you. Very good points. I am getting good answers from a lot of people here.

Thank you. A good answer for him, I think.

Thank you. I'm an older woman, I don't get too flustered at rudeness! In this case, the comment was deleted before I got to it.

Edit: Oop! I DID read it and answered. As I said, I'm an older woman. : D

Very clear for me. Several suggestions have been like this, and I think this is what I can reasonably respond with. Thank you!

Thank you! I will try this first, I think. Seems simple enough to come from me after getting informed.

I sort of suspected that he was blowing smoke to get me to back off. He knew I wouldn't know how to answer that. I will send him some of the proof I've seen provided here on TD showing the flipped votes. I doubt he has seen any of it, and maybe hasn't even heard that happened. He just is glad Biden (Bernie/AOC) won.

Thank you. Not in MI, and he might not regard even everyday Republicans as reputable witnesses. I will take this link, though, and maybe send it after first trying a computer scientist response. : )

Thank you. Sounds like what he might respond to. If he doesn't, it will show ME that he won't listen to really good, math-based evidence because of his liberal bias. I have some hope that this might be enough to open his eyes.

Really? That is hopeful. Thank you.

Thank you! I will give him answers suggested here.

Good idea. I will do the same. I don't understand his point that the simplest solution is often the best one. It doesn't explain votes coming in with percent allocations and counted in decimals, does it?

You are probably right. I try every so often, but with things that are neutral, like math, not too much with ideology. Thank you.

I know his bias is so great that he thinks there should be no rent and no police, free everything and he is quite a lot farther left than Biden (his words). His judgment is clouded.

Unacceptable to a Democrat. I need math (remember they are all about math and science! Ha!)
