Related, but off topic: Communism/advanced socialism My MAIN problem with it isn't the same main problem as most opponents of it. My main problem with it is that most of the time, it is FORCED on the general public of these countries where it exists. If they "kneel" so to speak, they are usually arrested, sentenced to long-ass prison terms, or executed. We don't have that here. A basic non-violent protest shouldn't end with you getting fired or shot. My uncle and my father were Vietnam veterans, and they fought for people to be able to decide if they want to stand or kneel peacefully.
