It will be a counterbalance to Capitalist China and Russia, and we would have a new Cold War as well. Also standard of living will drop for all and we will all be happy.

Who is with me here?

The movement is not against capitalism, it is against corrupt crony capitalism where money is used to advantage the few at the loss of the many. Typical is the Koch brothers who want the freedom to polute this country so that they can gain even more, they want to destroy mountain tops for coal, air with carbon emitions, water with fracking, all for personal profit. To argue against this is communism?

RonPaul is not the man because he wants to be a leader - he wants to dictate what is right that is how his views clash with OWS!

Communism was not dependent on Command economics, Communism simply tended to favor Command economics and traditionally featured Command Economics. As a form of Socialist movement, National Socialism successfully bridged State directed Capitalism and Socialism, long before China. China is an evolution off of the Nazi model, but not necessarily the absence of Communism, rather the absence of her traditional attendant economic system; Command economics.

Adolf Hitler believed that there were two main distinctions between National Socialism and Classical Socialism: Jews were not allowed in authority under National Socialism, where as they were under Classical Socialism and Nazis developed inward, rather than spreading their movement to other societies. I would add a crucial distinction, where as Classical Socialism favored Command economics, National Socialism favored State directed Capitalism. There is no such thing as a Capitalist China; there is China, with a Communist/ National Socialist identity crisis and a State directed Capitalist economy.

Yeah but would you want a Communist USA? I think it will be a hoot. I will have to move to Russia though.

I would like the model of Communism that the Chinese use. I would do very well, as a highly educated member of society. I believe that the Chinese relationship networking model is a superior way to order society. The elder members of society would create the opportunity for an MBA, like me and I would be deferential and loyal to the senior members of my relationship network, working my way up the network, till I was a senoir member. This would be ideal, for me anyway.
