Otherwise, he would not be asking what kind of a threat Russia now is. He'd know. Either Sean doesn’t get out much, or he missed Putin’s extortion of the EU over natural gas supplies.

What sort of a threat does Russia look like TODAY?! Given that their communist system FELL APART UNDER ITS OWN INEFFECIENCY AND WEIGHT, and that RUSSIA IS NOW CAPITALIST, I would think that the deadly threat of communism is dead and buried. The only remaining communist power is China, who also happens to be one of our largest capitalist trading partners. COMMUNISM IS NOT AND HAS NEVER BEEN A THREAT TO THE SAFETY OF THE AMERICAN STATE OR ITS CITIZENS. Please read the pages below, and you'll see that communism is not the same socialism.Socialism is mid-way between pure capitalism and pure socialism. It's the middle way that the majority of the industrialized world has adopted as the most effective means to a safe, productive, vibrant society. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism Please stop spreading your utter foolishness as God's honest truth. You do no one a service to spout this bullshit, and you only impede the progress of our nation and people. Russ, you’re a total fool. What sort of a threat does Russia look like TODAY?!

For YEARS no we have had socialized programs in this country that have helped many people and made life better for all of us. An ideal society has aspects of both capitalism and socialism. Many countries in Europe that smoke us in many departments are in a large part socialist. Communist dictatorships are something entirely different.

Either Americans don't know that socialism is part of communism or, in the few years since communism's fall in Russia, they've already forgotten that it used to be our supposed nemesis.

I was listening to a podcast of The Joan Kenley Show called <a href="http://www.joankenley.com/20090411.html" rel="nofollow">The Media: What’s True, What’s Not</a> just now that addressed the ways the flailing, frightened right-wing newsmedia are creating false realities that actually do convince a number of Americans (including some of us). I guess throwing the word “socialism” around as if there is no difference between a communist country and one that favors social programs is their best attempt at re-training our political definitions in their favor. To me, it's just ridiculous. The buzzword control tactics used by corporate media to control our minds and lives pisses me off.
