While no politico is perfect, I agree with Javier's disdain for communistas. Their ideology is founded on tyranny & their track record is one of oppression and violence. Central banking immediately comes to mind and it’s an institution that is a forerunner to the establishment of a communist society; as outlined by measure #5 of the communist manifesto which says, “Centralization of Credit in the Hands of the State, by Means of a National Bank with State Capital and an Exclusive Monopoly.”

Sadly due to the acceptance of the myth of a “mixed economy”, while in reality no such thing exists. Mises once remarked, “There is no middle ground between capitalism and socialism. Either the means of production are privately owned and operated for profit, or they are owned and operated by the state."
