For the record, that was my quote. And it was sarcasm, intended (clearly, I thought) to head off the kind of ridiculous digression about terminology that you dove right into anyway. So you'll have to forgive my profanity. But I stand by it: the idea that Roosevelt et. al. and the mid-century western flirtation with social welfare and redistributable economics constitutes "communism" is really fucking stupid.

> For the record, that was my quote. And it was sarcasm We can all see they are your words, some of us bother to read the posts written by others. > So you'll have to forgive my profanity I don't have to and I don't forgive you, you've shown no ounce of contrition nor compromise, nor any insight worth providing you toleration. > But I stand by it: the idea that Roosevelt et. al. and the mid-century western flirtation with social welfare and redistributable economics constitutes "communism" is really fucking stupid. May I remind you of my recorded words: > Communism did not resolve the Great Depression anywhere, let alone the United States If you can't see the implication that Roosevelt "et. al."[sic] actions were hence, not communism, then perhaps you should wonder who is being dense here.
