[quote=all]Calling yourself communist does not make you a communist. Would you also argue that Deutsche Demokratische Republik was a democracy? After all, it is right there in the name.
It cannot be communism if you have individuals owning shares of companies.[/quote]Again, if not communism, then what are they? If you object to what they call themselves, then you surely would have a better name for them, right? FYI, there’s no such thing as pure communism or capitalism or socialism or fascism. I’ve never claimed that they’re pure communist according to the political theory. Afterall, they’re all just theories. How those theories get applied varry greatly. Especially when you take into account human nature.
