    so instead of hiding and avoiding being pinned down by engaging in your deflect and avoid strategy... will you answer this?

    do you still support communism or not?

    You're off your rail again. I've been pointing out in this thread that authoritarianism is different from communism.

    except history shows there is no way to get the people (perhaps a minority of them) to go along with the majority or communist party absent authoritarian and even deadly crackdowns.

    Communism by its nature and the nature of human beings must force compliance. In practice communism is authoritarian.
