What would a communist America look like?

I found this poster from the Oklahoma communist party to be interesting. It says:

1) Everyone would receive free, comprehensive, universal healthcare.
2) Housing would be affordable, safe, and available for everyone.
3) Food would be healthy, fresh, and freely available.
4) Everyone would be entitled to a quality education, without cost.
5) Seniors would retire comfortably in dignity and respect.
6) Veterans would receive the treatment they deserve for the sacrifices they made for this country.
7) Workers Rights would be fully protected, and they would receive the full value of their labor.
8) There would be equal pay and benefits for men and women.
9) There would be no wealth inequality anymore, and the class system would be abolished.
10) Everyone would have equal rights and freedoms regardless of their orientation.
11) Women would have full reproductive rights upheld by law.
12) Everyone would receive equal protection under the law, and an end to racism and racial profiling.

Is there anything in this list that differs in any way from the Democrat viewpoint? None that I can see. But that isn't what I find interesting. What is interesting to me is the full-throated gimmedat attitude on display. It's a tour de force of "what's in it for me."


No one seems to be troubled by the source of all this beneficence. Where does the money come from? Well, everyone. Because of the superior wisdom, gigantic intellects, and demonstrated competency of our elected leaders, they would become the arbiters of who gets what. We can trust them with this kind of power, because history has shown us that a strong central government dictating outcomes has always succeeded spectacularly. Corruption is nil. Everyone lives in harmony. Society prospers.

Give you an example? Um, I can't. Neither can the Oklahoma communists. Despite all their happy-face pictures, communism always yields desolation, despair, and decay. But with unflagging optimism, they press forward with their workers paradise, undeterred by significant past failures, convinced that this time they can do it better. They can't.

Just a reminder of what communism really looks like:
