: Communism a good world government? Do I want:

: Dissent quashed?
: Mass murder?
: Forced relocation of the masses, ala Pol Pot?
: Massive pollution such as that found in ALL former and current Communist countries?
: The loss of such basic rights as freedom of speech, travel and thought?
: Queing up for basic food staples?

My friend, where in any socialist or communist theory do you find any of that? Those awful caricatures we have had so far divorced themselves at a very early stage from what a system that can meaningfully be called socialism or communism.
