This question is in the wrong place, but I disagree that the USA tends toward communism.
From Wikipedia: "Communism is an ideology that seeks to establish a future classless, stateless social organization, based upon common ownership of the means of production and the absence of private property."
Ideology - Each person in America has great freedom to express his/her own viewpoint, with no one ideology that could encapsulate America.
Classless - There are classes in America. There are homeless people on the one hand. On the other, there's the middle class. Finally, there are the rich people who pay most of the taxes.
Stateless - America is by definition "states".
Common Ownership of the Means of Production - Everything in America was made in China, so the people of America do not own the means of production.
Private Property - While the state can take away your property for the public good, for the most part, America is a country where people have private ownership of property.
America is communistic in some ways:
1. It supports China - the USA is borrowing heavily to buy Chinese products.
2. Now that the Chinese communists have all the money, they can become capitalists while the USA becomes a communist.
3. Now the world sees the path to "victory" as lying with communist China, not "the glory of private ownership" America, so communism is on the up and up in the third world.
4. America causes other countries to become communist, as in the case of Cuba, which became communist because of President Eisenhower.
5. America also allowed Vietnam and North Korea to be communist countries despite the Vietnam and Korean Wars.

If the USA were a communist country you could be put to death for saying the President is an A--Hole and I'm not dead yet. You have more freedoms than anyother country in the world and no one has forced you or the other females in your family to be physically circumcized. If you don't know what that is maybe you should do some more reading before calling us communists.

Try living in a socialist land and you will FAST realize the USA IS not Communistic. Actually some things would benifit from a communized perspective but its too easy to go over the border of whats enough and too much. But are you specifying political or socioeconomics. Do you mean governemt controls you or we control the government.

Do you mean left-wingers??? leaning to the left??? If this is what you mean, then I DO!!!! and I'm not only sorry for that but I wish Americans could Wake-up-up-up and realize what they had!!! America is the world role model to all people around the world for freedom, liberty and most of all, the only place we have left on earth, where the "intellectuals" "bureaucrats" the suits" didn't' take over!! It's a left wing conspiracy or liberals' media machine... it's Europe taking over...all over again...

LOL, my mother thinks so and I agree with her a little bit. Everything is so expensive here, well at lease in NY, and the taxes are so high, at the end of the week or whenever is payday you have worked so hard to recive that money, nut a big portion of it has to be paid in taxes. And not only that, when you buy stuff, everything has taxes, even when buying a home or a car, why do you have to pay so many taxes? The only difference is that we have a little bit of freedom, but what is the point? we have to pay for that freedom...

anyone who answers in the affirmative has no idea what living under communist rule is like. simply not liking the present administration or national policies is far from proving the US is 'communistic'.

I feel that the USA is not the land of freedom that it touts itself as being. Communism proposes the abolishment of private ownership and enterprise, which is really impossible to do today.

You didn't say where your from. Try living in the USA before you judge. This is the wrong forum for your question.
