truncated at 1800 characters. Communism itself is an ideal concept, however, Karl Marx allowed too much room for improvisation. With disturbing precedents set in the old world, the 21st Century sees Communism as a poor man's rant, something to disregard as defunct economics fad just as laizze-faire once was. Communism in the 21st century carries a heavier, darker and all around "evil" conotation to it. In the U.S., a fascist is far more likely to be socially accepted than a Communist, due to Josef Stalin and Mao Zedong, as you have pointed out. Communism works, its just the people behind it that don't.
However, Socialism works (as you can see in the Scandinavian countries, and in certain aspects of Japan, France and so forth) and as we (should) all know, Communism is the final stage of Socialism. However, the Fascists (the far-right wingers) have gained more credibility with their agenda. They control the United States and it's spheres of influence, but how? Fascism was firmly discredited after World War II for everything that it embodied and was. Yet, the United States supported the Fascist regimes in Argentina under Juan Peron and Fransico Franco in Spain. The United States has used the C.I.A. to install fascist puppet governments in Latin and South American countries on several occassions. But how did the Fascists go from Notoriety to mainstream in such a short time? Simple, they changed their
By using double-speak and the G.O.D. word, the fascist have lured the less fortunate, less educated and the powerless into their realm. They've militantly built a well-greased political self-sufficient hate machine that only grows stronger and angrier as it moves further to the right. The Fascists used the proletarian chant, ideals and theory of the 20's and 30's; carefully removing the original l

eftist meaning in them and replaced them with vague double-speak terms. When the American worker fights for "workers rights", the worker fights for more corporate control. When the American activist fights for "social welfare", the activist fights for privatization of public funds. When the American economist fights for a "balanced budget", the economist fights for lower taxiation on his part. When the American politician fights for "more freedom", the politician fights for totalitarianism.
As you can see, this double speak has created so much confusion that no one could possibly believe it was the work of the Fascists at first look. This double-speak has worked so well, its going to consume the entire globe. Once the entire globe is consumed with this Neo-Fascism, then the world will enter a New Dark Age, 1984. The Revolutionaries must adapt an effective countermeasure, for the Fascist decimate any bit of truth with fatally effective propaganda. Reality only exists as the Fascists tell it. This Orwellian nightmare must stop. The Revolutionary movement must adapt its own name-change and build its own political machine, just as the fascist did. After all, we're still fighting the same enemies at the same location, just in different clothes. We must all groom ourselves with the modern times of the 21st Century and bathe in the tides of change.
