Why isnt the USA communist?

Answer 1

Are you willing to share all your stuff with everyone else? I'm not.

Answer 2

The emergence of a strong communist, socialist or workers party, is theorized by Dr. Weir that the U.S. only represents a fragment in the evolution of democratic institutions. The Answer rests with our differences with other democracies. For example, no Parliament, no strict party discipline, no prime minister, amongst others. We also don't have dissolution of legislative branches, no armed political parties, and we consider the courts to be an active political wing.
Communist sympathizers were weeded out of government service in the 1950's. There was and still is a stigma attached to Communist party membership in the U.S. Maybe because the whole cold war thing, or maybe because Engels and Marx encouraged a revolution to install a dictator to start a communistic state. Just doesn't work with our whole freedom of choose thing we got going.

Answer 3

After a great amount of study primarily done by Thomas Jefferson, the U.S. Constitution was drafted on Voltaire's principle of a representative democracy--a republic. In the opinion of most of the Founding Fathers, the republic governmental model was the fairest and best-functioning available, even though it had never been tried on a national scale before.

Since the Constitution was drafted on this principle, and it arguably works better than any governmental system in practice, the U.S. has remained a republic. We've never had the tyrrany problems with our leaders often associated with the other great empires, like Britain, Japan or China.

Answer 4

There is no such thing as communism in the truest sense. The principals of communism will not survive do to two things. Leaving out freedoms to believe in a higher being and the fact that man is greedy.

Answer 5

Because it would have gone the way of the other communist nations and be no more. Communism can't sustain itself.

are buying to support our war in Iraq.
