I Guess I Am A Communist But I Am Proud Of It [View all]

Because I believe in economic and social justice, a Second Economic Bill Of Rights as well as Equal Rights For Women, & Marriage Equality, I am a communist. The GOP says so. I am guilty.

I believe in an economic bill of rights where a person has a right to the following. It should be the law of the land.

1. A right to a job.
2. A right to a decent wage and a decent living (living wage).
3. A right decent home.
4. A right to adequate medical care.
5. A right to economic protection during sickness, accident, old age or unemployment.
6. A right to a good education (public).
7. A right to pursue a business without fear of intimidation or unfair competition.

The GOP does not believe in any of these things. They believe in starving women and children, putting women in their place, controlled speech. Rape, pillage and plunder of workers is ok for employers. The believe that men control women's bodies.
Etc. They are against anything that benefits anyone but the top 1%. And they believe in theocracy.

Everyone else is a communist. I plead guilty. Power to the workers who create the wealth. Death to the GOP.
