Facebook Exchange With QAnon Believer Over "The Communist Threat"

• Alan Archibald For decades, my prime political directive has been to “keep crazy people out of office.” 
  
  Generally, I am enthusiastic when progressive causes are advanced.
  
  But I have no expectation that will happen - and when it does I look on such advancement as “gravy.” 
  
  So, since there is a lunatic in The Oval Office now, I think Joe Biden is the most likely candidate to unseat him, followed by Bernie Sanders and then Kamala Harris - although in Kamala’s case I think a good veep selection is essential. 
  
  Perhaps even more importantly, Kamala needs to avoid a bad choice. 
  
  I realize that vice presidential candidates end up being quite inconsequential, but Kamala could make a damaging choice.
  
  I also want to point out that it is a near certainty that Hillary would’ve won — and handily — were it not for Jill Stein’s third-party bid. (It is also a virtual certainty that Al Gore would’ve won Florida handily were it not for Ralph Nader, a fellow I generally hold in high esteem.)
  
  And so, I will take this opportunity to argue against third-party idealism, especially in a race like this one. 
  
  As you may know, I voted for third-party candidate John Anderson in 1980.

  KK: Pretty much lets us know where you stand Alan. For many of us our political directive has been to keep "communists out of office" .. any who can more identify with the Cuban Revolution more than you can the American Revolution may want to step back in time and consider who's blood, sweat and tears were shed for OUR country? of course I know.. that's so politically incorrect right now why on earth would I even dare put that target on my back, right?

Alan Archibald I don't know a single person -- not one -- who advocates a communist "socioeconomic order structured upon the common ownership of the means of production."

Nor does any Democratic candidate propose the cornerstone communist position that there be "common ownership of the means of production."

Democratic candidates don't even occupy the same Universe where that obsolete suggestion might be made. 

Yet you're still scaring yourself with 1950s rhetoric.

In 2012 "The American Conservative" published the following article:

"Obama Is A Republican"

Knowing how much you value Truth, I encourage you to read the Wikipedia entry on "Communism" -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism -- and then tell me if you would bet your kids' eternal salvation that your statement is true - that your clear-and-present intention is "to keep communists out of office." (Please don't dodge with a bogus reply like "I don't believe in betting.")

Communism is dead Karen.

Not even Vladimir Putin -- an unusually murderous henchmen for The Soviet and, notably, a fellow whom His Deplorability has never criticized (while slagging black NFL players as "sons of bitches") -- would advocate communism's return.

Your anti-communist position recalls medieval theologians arguing the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin.

Karen, your supposed determination to repel communism does not intersect with "Reality." 

It's as fake as QAnon.

As a postscript, I will mention that your hero, Candace Owens, speaks approvingly of Hitler's "National Socialism" which was Germany's economic system for years before Adolf began territorial expansion.
