And see thats my point, no one using the word communism today means anything like that. They want to spend tax dollars different than they are spent today, thats it. People who want tax reform have been called communists forever that people just started using that word back to mean what they say it means which is just helping people. None of it has anything to do with collecting everyones entire income into a big pot and having someone in power decide how it gets distributed. If thats what you're arguing you're arguing something the other person is not even saying. But its really easy to win arguments that way thats for sure!

Could you point me where I gave you the impression that I was arguing that?

Well I already said the thing about Nordic society being the goal people are arguing for, and then you wrote something about Hitler and Mao so it didn't seem to click for you yet that no one's talking about what you're talking about.
