Fundamentally, ALL military forces are trained extremist terrorists (murder machines) and communist (totalitarian socialism without democracy) under a commander in chief to shield and expand tyranny. Try to change my mind.

I know. Trying to be clear is a balancing act. Too much and it's confusing, too little and it's daft. In this case, you have both to compare.

You found a loophole because I was not clear regarding history. I didn't say I meant contemporary times and all current military forces are communist totalitarian structures (regardless of the politics of the nation).

By totalitarian I mean that there is no room for democracy, choice, consensus, or any other formation or liberty for that tribe/soldiers. It's 100% pure vertical hierarchy. I'm talking about the political structure of the military - not their actions (defense, offense, rape, murder, surrender, etc.).

It's safe to call communism an extreme version of socialism. Socialism is where everyone pitches in and the central authority distributes resources. Police, firemen, military, government, etc - all depend on socialism. Every nation on Earth has some socialist and some capitalist aspects, without exception. Balance is needed but we're in one of the most extreme times in history.

Marx had some good ideas but many have glaring weaknesses that were exploited, corrupted, and perverted into what we know as communism.

The class struggle of communism is about as legit as the bootstrap bullshit of capitalism. Propaganda, just as offensive wars are not for defense. The system is against all little people most of all.

I think it might be safe to say that the military hierarchy is a totalitarian structure. It's no republic, democracy, capitalist, etc. Add the fact that it's socialism that funds the enterprise, but not just any socialism, extremely strict (totalitarian) socialism, aka communism.

Maybe I'm making a bigger deal out of it than I should but I have heard "mafia police" and "mafia government" used to clearly express the concept of their monopoly on violence and theft (taxes) - and I had an epiphany about this one, and I would hope that in the spirit of anti-war and waging peace, perhaps it might be more widely utilized:

All modern militaries are totalitarian communist structures.
