TLA, I have obliged your request to be martyred on the forum after your abusive post, now deleted. One month's holiday to cool down. I should know better than to bother with gun debates - it so often ends with abusiveness.
Sorry that I assumed you were a Fox fan when you apparently aren't. Weird that one would despise a media outlet that agrees with everything one says, even using the same words and phrases. Was this perhaps perhaps a fairly recent parting, about six months ago?
Whatever, my mistaken assumptions about you paled in the face of your ad hom barrage and weird accusations against me. At no stage did you attempt to address the actual points being made, rather you kept attacking the person.
BTW, I am not a communist, which I have long assumed was a dead ideology that was never actually tried, and perhaps it's not possible to implement it truly. So the word you groped so ineffectively for was not "communist" but "pragmatist". I have no side. The best system depends on time and place, not pre-determined ideas of ideologues.
Being Australian, I obviously don't support China, which you may be surprised to know is not actually a communist country. Is China practising communism? A quarter of its people are in poverty, so it's clear that monies are not being distributed under a communist system but a capitalist authoritarian state that takes the best for itself and its allies and leaves scraps for its most vulnerable people, like any other capitalist authoritarian state.
