For the record, that was my quote. And it was sarcasm, intended (clearly, I thought) to head off the kind of ridiculous digression about terminology that you dove right into anyway.

So you'll have to forgive my profanity. But I stand by it: the idea that Roosevelt et. al. and the mid-century western flirtation with social welfare and redistributable economics constitutes "communism" is really fucking stupid.

We can all see they are your words, some of us bother to read the posts written by others.

I don't have to and I don't forgive you, you've shown no ounce of contrition nor compromise, nor any insight worth providing you toleration.

May I remind you of my recorded words:

> Communism did not resolve the Great Depression anywhere, let alone the United States

If you can't see the implication that Roosevelt "et. al."[sic] actions were hence, not communism, then perhaps you should wonder who is being dense here.
