Well, you're more of a leftie than me! But I guess some here would cover us both with the blanket appelation of 'socialist'...

I thought that we were basically hashing this one out here? I for one have given my answer on that thread to your OP question.

Would you like to take this test? I just have and I came out pretty much dead centre.

Just the pendulum swinging, I would suspect. And Merkel's CDU/CSU Party in Germany and Sarkozy's UMP in France are better described as centre-right rather than right-wing; neither advocate the dismantling of the Welfare State as it exists in their respective countries (heck, even Thatcher here...

Your analysis is much closer to the reality; to a degree we are all pawns of the international bankers, including former President Bush who, let us not forget, nationalised the banks under pressure from Wall Street, as did our Prime Minister under similar pressure from the City of London, with...

I agree that the fire-bombing of Dresden, and that of Hamburg, was a war crime outwith the strictures of international law and an un-Christian thing to do; you're preaching to the choir here.

I find Revmitchell's signature and just-want-peace's board name extremely ironic in the light of their comments on this thread.

OK, sorry. I would guess that conservative Christian Finns would take issue with some of old Vince's stage antics, at least those in the past.

So you're prepared to stoop to the level of your enemies? Then you've already handed them the victory... Sometimes I wonder whether this is a Christian website at all...

And this from the country which gave us Lordi?

Exactly. With perhaps a dose of liberalism thrown in. I would object to the latter far more than the former.

It also (and in particular the events of 1989-91) dealt it a hefty bodyblow as an idealogy, demonstrating that, basically, it didn't work. Hence I suspect the much more socialist-social democrat program adopted by the CPUSA.

Sounds like they have: Obama. Except they can't make up their minds whether he's an Islamist, a Marxist, a socialist, a fascist, or what. Talk about confused!

So you're resorting to calling me a liar?! Wow...just...wow.

Well, for starters, the CPUSA describes the Democratic Party as 'capitalist', so that's a failry fundamental parting of the ways. Looking at their specific goals, somehow I can't see Obama supporting, for example: And I'm not convinced that the CPUSA are even consistently socialist, let alone...

And? None of what I heard on those Youtube links demonstrate Marxism as opposed to your common-or-garden social democracy of the western European model. Nothing Soviet bloc, Marxist or (old) eastern European there at all. And as for the argument that he had Marxist friends and teachers, well one...

Still not engaging, are you? Another wasted post... [ETA - Me, a socialist? That's a laugh - in that comment alone you've amply demonstrated that you don't know what you're talking about. Thanks for the laugh, though, it'll keep me smiling all day]

:laugh: Oh, dear God...:(

His last evasive post would appear to confirm that. It's really very simple to answer my question in a short post consisting of a couple of paragraphs. In the amount of time, effort and bandwidth he has wasted today alone in dodging and diverting from the questions, he could have done that. The...

Abu Ghraib isn't a fact? Guantanamo isn't a fact?
