Communism. Most Canadians are pro-socialism. They've been dumbed down for years now. % of Canadians who are awake is small

Sad to say, I agree. This whole thing is exactly what a totalitarian communist regime would be: no right of assembly, no right of free movement, no right to work/have a business, etc. There's really no difference and that is INTENTIONAL.

However, equating communism with socialism is asinine and completely insane.

Socialism was the brain child of anarchists and libertarians, which makes it as opposite of communism as anything can ever be. Hitler was a socialist. A National Socialist, but still.

You're using the Orwellian Newspeak definition of "socialism" that you find on Wikipedia and the MSM. Get uncucked.

    Well, being an economist with a long and somewhat distinguished career behind me, I probably have more education on these topics than you do.

    Also, my track record predicting the evolution of the whole socio-political arena speaks for itself. Sorry.

      Ad hominem. Debate the response:

      "Socialism was the brain child of anarchists and libertarians, which makes it as opposite of communism as anything can ever be. Hitler was a socialist. A National Socialist, but still."

        I've created a lot of millions on the financial markets, what do you think "my track record predicting the evolution of the whole socio-political arena" mean? Oh wait, you couldn't even figure THAT out... Sigh.

        So making millions is better? How do they make these millions? Speculation?

        Are you a banker?

        It's an unfortunate fact. Although they are starting to awaken.

        Media manipulation expert Jeff C would have been all over this.

        Jeff put himself out there, and carried the torch farther than most.

        RIP Jeff. You made a difference.

        So young. Nobody is talking about how it happened, which usually means only one thing.
