Don't you think liberals are really communist?

Question

A rose is a rose is a rose

Answer 1

Absolutely! They are scared lil puppies when they think they are on their own. They need someone to take care of them and protect them from things they are not good at. Communism would best fit them. In order to succeed they need something to neutralize their competition.

Answer 2

Since no politician seeks to make all men and women equal, then I would say that the answer would be no. Our particular version of democracy is represented by the Capitalists and the Proletarians. This is extreme inequality. Karl Marx designed the Utopian idea of socialism from whence sprang communism. He designed it in rebellion to societies like ours; politicians like ours...

Answer 3

There not communists there kinda anti communist like almost all american based idealings liberals are mostly anti right wing goverment and preffer a weaker goverment rather than a strong and secure one

i dont think there communist but i dont agree with anything about them

Answer 4

Liberals could be described as socialists but not as communists.

I would be amazed if anyone on this site could describe communism without looking at a website or even a dictionary.

Answer 5

It depends how far left they are. I don't agree with everything they fight for but i feel the same about the way right too! So could both extremes be Communist?

Answer 6

You are right about that rose.

Answer 7

Yes, the current liberals in the White House are communist = Bush Regime

Liberalism = Strauss taught that liberalism in its modern form contained within it an intrinsic tendency towards relativism, which in turn led to two types of nihilism. (History of Political Philosophy, "Epilogue", Tarcov & Pangle, p.908-909). The first was a “brutal” nihilism, expressed in Nazi and Marxist regimes. These ideologies, both descendants of Enlightenment thought, tried to destroy all traditions, history, ethics and moral standards and replace it by force with a supreme authority from which nature and mankind are subjugated and conquered. (On Tyranny, p.22-3) The second type- the ‘gentle’ nihilism expressed in Western liberal democracies- was a kind of value-free aimlessness and hedonism, which he saw permeating the fabric of contemporary American society. (What is Political Philosophy?, "Crisis of Our Time", p.20). In the belief that 20th century relativism

Strauss asks his readers to consider whether "noble lies" have any role at all to play in uniting and guiding the polis. Are "myths" needed to give people meaning and purpose and to ensure a stable society? Or can men and women dedicated to relentlessly examining, in Nietzsche's language, those "deadly truths", flourish freely?

In 2004 Adam Curtis produced a three-part documentary for the BBC on the threat from organised terrorism called the Power of Nightmares. This television documentary claimed that Strauss' teachings, among others, influenced neo-conservative and thus, United States foreign policy, especially following the September 11, 2001 attacks. Two students of Strauss, Wolfowitz and William Kristol, are cited, and Kristol discusses Strauss's influence in the film. Since they were students of Strauss, the documentary claims that their later political views and actions are a result of Strauss' philosophy and teaching. The central theme of the documentary is that the neoconservatives created myths to make the Soviet Union and terrorist organizations such as Al-Qaeda (Arabic: القاعدة‎) appear to be better organized and coordinated, as well as more threatening than they actually were, and that such "nightmares" enabled the neoconservatives to gain disproportionate power in the Reagan and George W. Bush administrations.

Answer 8

No, they give away entirely too much money to people who don't work. Entitlements hardly fit the bill for communism.

Answer 9

You can call a carnation a rose all you want, it's still a carnation and not a rose.

Answer 10

No. They are entirely different animals. Not all Communists were/ are liberal.
