Answer 1

It looks to me that you might not have a clear understanding of communism.

Communism (specifically Marxism) is where pretty much everything is owned by the government. Everybody is treated exactly the same, regardless of personal achievements (i.e. graduates of college and high school dropouts both get the same pay). The purpose of this is to remove the possibility of social classes, castes, and status. Everybody (except those in power of the government) is literally treated the same, as if living on a commune, hence the name.

The current system in place in the US is apparently all about social class. Example: He's rich, he'll always be rich, and his kid's will be rich too. Only they are entitled to go to college (because it's expensive) and that will help them to stay rich. You're poor. You'll always be poor. You can't afford college, therefore, you won't be able to get enough pay that your kid will go to college. [This is an example. I have no idea your 'class' nor do I care.]

This system currently in place (let's call it Americanism as I don't feel like looking up the correct name, and it's not fascism as far as I can tell) is a diametric opposite of communism.

Communism is a decent way to go if the population isn't any higher than, say, 1000 people. Why such a low number? Because it's very difficult to have corruption with such a small population. Corruption is the absolute bane of any economic or governmental system, but more so (apparently) for communism. I'm not entirely sure why, but it may have to do with 'Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.'

As far as what rights are left?
The public doesn't have it's thumb up it's bum far enough to let free speech violations occur readily just yet. One right that I am concerned about, however, is habeas corpus.

When they arrest you, they used to be required (by habeas corpus) to tell you why you were being arrested as well as give you some form of appeals process (e.g. "I want my lawyer."). If the president or someone appointed by him labels you an 'enemy combatant' (and they can label anybody that, and they can keep the reason secret) then they are no longer required to tell you why you're being held or provide you with a path to release.

Anybody can run for office as an independent. There are some minimum standards you must meet, but the government will even give you money for your campaign. Three dollars from every tax return filed with the IRS (assuming they checked the box) is added to the fund that pays for this.

I've personally been toying with the idea of running for a local office. Not sure which one, but I have a party I'd like to run under. http://www.pirate-party.us

Answer 2

I absolutely agree with Jack Schitt about the habeas corpus issue. I'll also say that based on the news that is coming out, the stress will increase and we may see much more and much worse than the in the 60s against the war in Vietnam with respect to protests and such.

But this time I think Americans will be protesting more than just the war in Iraq. They are going to be raising and protesting the issues of habeas corpus, the injustice and corruption in the courts, the educational system, and all the other various agencies and entities we had gotten used to.

But I will say again and again, the problems are deeper and more dangerous than people can even imagine, and shocking that they have been happening for longer than many of us have been alive.

I saw a video that originated from Google Video which is a 50 minute interview with a gentleman in the banking industry who actually discovered evidence that we should all be familiar with. It seems "dry" and maybe even boring to listen to, but if you've been learning anything it is to pay attention to some of this stuff because it will make sense in the future if it doesn't make sense now. A lot of puzzle pieces are going to fit together.

You can see the video at either one of the links below.

Answer 3

It's scary buddy. What we have today is essentially an oligarchy. That is, that only certain individuals of priviledge are able to run for office. The most infamous of the statements made by an official to back this, in my opinion, was George W. Bush stating that he thought Hillary would be the next president. He thought it was a great thing and went on a wierd rant saying "Bush, Clinton,Bush, Clinton." If the members of the Bush family and Clinton family are in office, you know we, as Americans, are getting a raw deal. We need to vote for a third party candidate in 2012, when most analysts think they will have a shot. Hopefully, such a party will become viable with a viable candidate. I hope that we will one day have a man or woman in office that will keep our military strong, cease the disastrous policy of outsourcing American jobs, and in essence take the best qualities from each existing party and take care of our country's sovereingty and the common man. Plus, if a third party does become a reality, it will help to keep the Republicans and Democrats in line, while they do the same in regard to it. Personally, I believe more choices in American politics will help to minimize corruption and ensure that we haven't got to worry about communism or fascism taking root in our great country.

Answer 4

"The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggle" Is the communism an answer to this issue in USA? Difficult to say.
