Reply #61: I think communists disguise themselves as socialists [View All]

[Braulio]

There are socialists, and there are communists. People like Noriega, Castro, Chavez, are communists. They don't like to say this openly because people see communism in such a bad light. So they cover it up. I wouldn't vote for anything close to socialist for this reason...they like to cover up what they are, and they're also very keen on perpetuating themselves in power - the first thing they try to do is change the constitution to allow themselves to be "re-elected" over and over. It's cheap personality cult, megalomania, dictatorship, and lousy ecoomic management rolled into one package, with the addition of militarism, threats towards neighbors, insults towards anybody who doesn't agree with them. They are pretty sick regimes.
