I am sorry I meant Democracy Vs Communism.. see I do agree on something..
But the other half about it being a religious conflict I disagree. The differances were no over religion but degree of freedom. Yes, that did cross over in to religion, but that is the the reason just some of those covered under freedom. It could be just as justly said that a free press was the reason, or freedom to assemble, or protest, etc. The differance was not religion but degree of freedom.
But the qoute of the thread mentioned the the divisive nature of religion and put it in such wording as to suggest that religion was "the most divisive" which I thing is greatly wrong.
Freedom of Speech, Assembly et al, torked off the liberals here. Freedom of Religion torked off the Conservatives alot, but not as much as the presumption that the State was G_d, which was pretty much in the Soviet Constitution.
Religion I think was #2. #1 was the Marxist Doctrine that the workers shall violently overthrow the ruling class as a matter of inevitability. Basically Marx had said "The Commies are Gonna Get You", and by definition, they werent going to work through democracy.
Yes the Soviet Commie manage to piss off almost every segment of western Society both liberals and conservatives.
See we can come to agreement sometimes.
Still there are many out there that feel if only they had organized the socialistic society then it would have truely worked. Communism is far from a dead issue and sneaks around with titles like socialism and such.
I like the Democratic system.. sure it isn't always fair or perfect but it give us the ablitiy to change when we learn it is going wrong.
