. Communism is no more violent or oppressive then Democracy. They are both out to acheive the same thing...population control.
you keep talking of a Democracy. however, The US was set up as a REPUBLIC. this is very different than a Democracy. Our republic was set up to uphold the rights of the individual. this is by nature less repressive than a communist or fascist society because those types of government regulate people into submission. in the a republic where the only goal of the government is to uphold the rights of the individual every person can do what they want, run their lives as they see fit as long as they dont violate the rights of others. you are right though, a Democracy will be repressive to the minority of any topic.

It is easy to criticise a system different from your own, doesen't make it true however.
i am criticizing my own political system here.

I have no problem criticising our systems. This is not being un-patriotic in any way. When we stop fighting for our rights (forget about other peoples systems for a minute) and to make our system work for the people, we ultimately lose. When that happens, you can call the system anything you like, cause it won't matter.
i agree

I am just pointing out that while we love to hold up our ways for all to admire, we don't like to discuss our blemishes. But they are there non the less.
i am not holding up our ways. im saying that the US government is corrupt and edging closer and closer to a Communist/Fascist/Repressive government. it is not living up to the ideals that it was intended to stand for.
