Side: No

These protestors just call whoever it is a communist as most people rather believe in democracy so hopefully, I think that these protestors are trying to achieve other people to believe them that the person in a high rank is a communist. Which is definitely not true.. Who would believe them??

Communism is a euphemism for anarchy. Communists are usually people who have nothing and want to share it with everyone else. Obama's idea of turning the United States into a ''Come all ye'', is a good example of a sanctimonious socialist/ communist spending other people's dosh, (i.e, the taxpayer's money) to further their own misguided magnanimity. By definition ''illegal'' immigrants are criminals and cannot pay their just and lawful taxes as by doing so would highlight their illegal presence in America.

Some forms of anarchist communism such as insurrectionary anarchism are strongly influenced by egoism and radical individualism, believing that ''anarcho-communism'' is the best social system for the realization of individual freedom!! ''Anarcho-communism developed out of radical social currents after the French Revolution. To date, the best known examples of an anarchist-communist society are the anarchist territories during the Spanish Revolution. I could go on but for your further education why don't you google it.

No, I believe that communism can be used sometimes as a scare word, but not 100% of the time. Communism is a very real flawed system (note i am talking about absolute communism) just look at North Korea, every aspect of their life is controlled by the government.

Side: No
