Communism is irrelevant

I don't get your disagreement. Communism is pretty much irrelevant with regard to Islamism and jihad. The two groups will use one another as they go on about peace and justice. But it's obvious there never will be a real sincere meeting of minds between them. Communism is doomed to failure, it's against human nature. But jihad and the expansionism of ummah -- it's much more dangerous. By the way, Communism in theory will never really disappear, as long as there are people who believe in their superiority over every day people. Some people need to get into a car and drive across the U.S.A. -- eat in diners -- go to Little League baseball games. It's those every day people who are the hope of this country and they're the cream of the global crop. Maybe the elites in Washington and in universities don't know the score -- but the salt of the earth do.
