I just sent this to the Massachusetts Communist Party USA email.

"Hello! How are you?

I was checking you guy outs and was interested in more learning more info about your party. If I wanted to move away from the US
where might I go for a good, safe, thriving Communist country? To study Communism better can you show me a nation today or in
history that was successful? Of course if it's still not around then it probably won't do me much good. See I'm trying to find a good
argument for Communism. Thanks!"

I'm sure the support of their 2,500 members will be crucial to Obama's re-election campaign.

I think that everyone is forgetting that China is "communist" country.
When they absorb us, we will be too.

I think that you threw them a bone with that email.

China is communist in name only.

Isn't the goal of communism to achieve eventual anarchism?

I wonder what the hardcore anarchists on the board think of this?

Traditional (left-wing) anarchism's primarily goal is to abolish all capitalism. Market anarchism's primarily goal is create a world with unlimited capitalism.

Their goals are fundamentally opposed and the two groups will probably never work together towards anything. As far as anarcho-capitalists are concerned, anarchists are just another bunch of crazy leftists.

Definitely. I'm well aware of the nuances. I just find it interesting that there is such a strong philosophical connection between anarchism and communism.

I'm not so sure about that. Communism IS redistribution. Redistribution WOULD require force. Government IS force. I see no other way off achieving any communist ends without the means of government. I suppose if you could suppress man's predisposition to make choices and pursue their own self interest then an anarchic-communist system could exist, but then again that's part of what makes us human.

It depends what kind of Communism you are talking about. If it is forced Communism, then it is nothing like anarchist capitalism. If its like Christian Communism, which was voluntary, then it is very much like anarchist capitalism. The only difference is that with Christian Communism, once you make a contract, you can't bow out. (Ananias and his wife found that out the hard way)

In Canada our socialist comrades in the NDP think very highly of the Obama. So much so they debated whether to remove the goal and language of socialism from their constitution and reword it to something more palatable - to describe themselves something closer to the American Democrat party. They could not bear to do it - socialism is too dear a term and goal.

where might I go for a good, safe, thriving libertarian country? To study libertarianism better can you show me a nation today or in

Don't be condescending.

You guys do realize that socialism does not equal communism, right? There are many forms of socialism, for example communism that is on the far left and social democracy that is close to the center.

How can communism and anarchy be connected in any way? Communism stems from the collectivist philosophy. Anarchy, in the forms described in RPFs, seems to value the individualist philosophy.
