Well, during the cold war I'd have supported blue team but now it's all said an done there is that "communist chic" thing, like nazi chic only not as bad.ethaninja said:Why do people look down on communism? From what I've read from a wikipedia entry P), it seems much more nicer then others.Treblaine said:godzilla494 said:To show people im a communist
Stalin sez: "Yeah... I was a commie before it was cool"
Not a commie myself, but a big fan:

-punch above their weight: Check
-universal healthcare: Check
-terrify conservatives: Check
-kills nazis better than any: Check, and double-check

See "communism killed" millions of people out of pure incompetence (yeah, collectivisation is kinda dangerous if you screw it up) and is really hard to get as indignant about compared to the calculated, secretive and deliberate extermination of entire races of people purely out of delusions of racial supremacy and hatred as dem damn nazis did.
And why do people hate commies? Because they hate LIBERALS who traditionally were deferring and "soft" on the Soviet Union, and all the accusations of alleged similar ideology (bollocks in my view), people call Obama a communist as an insult and are dumb enough to think it means something post Cold War.
I'm not that crazy about Obama, but I think it's great seeing internet-commies take on internet-republicans. I look to China as my ideological model, I'll cherry pick the ideologies that work, and leave the ones that don't.
I mean liberals REALLY suck. You know in the Soviet Union (Russia at least), citizens could own semi-automatic weapons for self-defence... but not in most Liberal Democracies (America is what I'd call a Libertarian Democracy if not just the Wild West).
Hell one of the reasons the SU had so many amazing snipers in their Great Patriotic War was how common civilian firearms ownership was and the marksmanship tradition with that.
