No, it is unobtainable, it's a fairy tale. That's what I said.
And it's neither ideal, nor an ideal. It's inherently, deeply flawed and distasteful. Even the most rosy picture painted of an actual, real life communist society is a dystopian nightmare.
How many times do I have to explain to you that a "real life communist society" has not existed?

Read it again. Your reading comprehension needs some work.

I said "even the most rosy PICTURE PAINTED OF an actual, real life communist society..." I did not say, "even the most rosy existing communist society in the world."

You wrote referred to the "communist ideal." Lak agreed with you that it was "unobtainable." He went further and called it a "fairy tale." I went further, and pointed out that not only is it a fairy tale, but it's a nightmarish fairy tale. Humanity would not live happily ever after in that fair tale.

The word "ideal" in its noun form means the standard of perfection or the perfect or best thing to be aimed at. The term communist ideal means "the communist principle to be aimed at -- or communism in its perfect form." That ideal sucks ass. Not only the application in real life so far, but also the ideal - the "perfection to be strived for" sounds resoundingly horrible.

Godless atheistic commie lesbian congresslady! :panic: :hairfire:

Kyrsten Sinema swears in to Congress using law book instead of religious book
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4238 ... d-of-bible
Sinema is the only member of Congress who openly identifies as religiously unaffiliated, according to the Pew Research Center for Religion and Public Life.

But The Arizona Republic points out that Sinema’s move to forgo using a religious book to take her ceremonial oath, as most members of Congress typically do, may only fuel ongoing speculation that she is an atheist.

Her atheism is one of the few good things about her philosophy.

Democrat calls out Motherfucker:
Freshman U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib wasted no time in calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump just hours after being sworn in.

Speaking to a crowd of supporters Thursday night, the Michigan Democrat and one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress said of Trump: "People love you and you win. And when your son looks at you and says, 'Momma, look you won. Bullies don't win.' And I said, 'Baby, they don't, because we’re gonna go in there and we’re gonna impeach the mother***er.'”

Being a dirty liar or a RINO are not grounds for impeachment. Every President is a dir

Trump hasn't demolished the US economy - it's been doing fantastic - best economy in 50 years +. Diplomacy is far better now than in the past. He made more progress with North Korea than anyone. He's pulling us out of Syria, and is looking to finally pull us out of Afghanistan. He, unlike his predecessors is not even suggesting any new wars, etc.

He hasn't suggested repealing the 22nd amendment, but there is nothing impeachable in repealing it.

As always - the real answer here is "orange man bad."

Treason in doing what?

Conspiracy to do what?

Bank loans are not a crime.

Putin owns Trump is just your own private fantasy.

If that's what you think the case for impeachment is, you can't really be serious.

All of which is equally applicable to every other President, depending on one's opinion of that President and political persuasion. It's all just generalized bullshit. They know it. They just like jumping up and down and shouting impeachment! Impeachment!

Wondering about Obama's birth certificate - oh. my. god. Beyond the pale. Horrible. No evidence!

Wondering if Trump colluded with the Russians or is owned by Putin - very reasonable. The fact that there is no evidence is grounds for further consideration of the allegation.

the economy is a hollow shell, waiting for the slightest shock to be crushed... he's digging the depth hole like even bush junior never dared... where are the jobs he promised in the rust and coal belts?... industry is delocalizing thelke the foreign job pools were infinite. and the stock exchang is bubbling so hard it could be 1929 or 2008.

As for diplomacy, the plus of NK is counterbalanced by the fact he's busy alienating every ally the US ever had, except maybe Turkey.

Maybe true, maybe not, but none of that is impeachable. If brazen incompetence were impeachable not a single President would finish a term.
