I didn't say the countries which claim to be Communist ARE Communist, merely said that they were the ones a reasonable person would look to first. Let me quote myself -- "They at least are closer to the Marxist "ideal" than any randomly chosen countries."

And the US is most definitely NOT a Democracy, although the members of its government are elected through a democratic process and some issues at the state (as opposed to Federal) level are determined through referenda. I and others have pointed out here on many occasions that the US is not a Democracy, it is a constitutionally-limited Republic. At least it was at the time of its inception. The Constitution seems to mean little to the Republicrat and Demopublican parties of today.

I know quite well that the US is not a democracy

but I'm just taking your same sense of logic

and applying it to another country

in order to come up with an example that I know you'll disagree with.

I'm smart like that.

Here's what the CBC reports the UN to be doing today. More commie shit. Can you believe it? They are trying to make 22 countries feel bad because they use child soldiers.

I mean, what authority has the right to intervene in the wills of human beings? The children have chosen to fight. Maybe it's the only way some of them can earn a living.

Some big government loving, commie, left wing, rights removing organization, wants to stand in the way of peoples choices.

When will the USA break herself free from such an evil association?

Aren't you pround to be an American?

You obviously know nothing about the tragedy of child soldiers. In Sudan, children are kidnapped from their home by guerrillas, beaten, and forced to kill. They are kept under control by intimidation and violence. Many are not allowed to return home because they were at some point forced to kill a family member, so their parents won't let them in.

In reply to:

We've had something similar in the U.S., they called it 'The Draft.'


--------------------
To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.'  Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence.  Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains.  Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.
