    Right. So no countries ever reached communism. Glad we can agree.

    Oh man this is getting old. Give me the definition of fascism now, or the 14 tenets or whatever, and we can go through how the US fits most if not all of the markers, lol.

      What do you think about the governments of North Korea, the PRC, Cuba, Nicaragua, Maduro’s Venezuela, or the former USSR?

        Bingo bango America is fascist, lol.

        I hate all governments by the way, some are definitely more worthy of scorn than others though.

        Do you think your time is best spent arguing about the government of a small island 90 miles off the coast of Florida that sends free doctors around the world, or the global hegemonic power that’s starving the children there to death, who’s also responsible for destabilizing the world for the last 80 years?
