The United States is a republic at the Federal level and a democracy at the state’s level. The Federal government foisted media rule of wealth on the nation, and it is a pervasive force for aristocracy and evil. It is important to remember that the United States had an implicit competitive factor amidst them that can be defeated by federal uniformity requirements. For example, if the minimum wage is standard the states can have no regional wage labor competition advantage over others and employers that exploit cheap labor must relocate to Mexico or destroy wage labor values by making the Mexican border transparent to illegal workers and jihadists.
It does not require communism to be politically in opposition to rule by the rich, the few and the aristocratic--remember the American revolution? it also had land reform in it-a concept that would make today's toadying conservative tremble with rage that their master's share could be diminished.
It is a common error of sycophants to mistake one form of totalitarianism or tyranny for another--if not on column A then it must be from column B. The logic is faulty. Such people tend to believe that democracy and equal access are in some way 'communist' and they are completely wrong.
The broadcast media control by the rich is plain political corruption. Today's politicians are incapable of political reform that would better defend national interests,; they are runts of a sort bought and paid for by the rich.
A Rush Limbaugh will come out swinging in support of tax cuts for the top two percent, while a Billionaire Buffet of Berkshire Hathaway comes out in t against the tax cuts because the rich can afford it and the nation is in financial crisis. He is a patriot while Rush Limbaugh is a kiss up.
I am a supporter of free speech equal opportunity to the broadcast wavelengths for myself and all other citizens on a realistic basis. If I advocate for my own interests it is not therefore 'communism'. I am not a commune myself.
Sometime I will write about the differences between Collective Capitalism vs. Compassionate Capitalism. Perhaps the nation has forgotten that boundaries and real concern for neighbors and nation are at the core of the American Dream.
American issues of Christianity, cosmology, politics, ecosphere, philosophy, contemporary history etc
