Just what is "cultural preservation"? Culture is passed down. Cult is fluid and dynamic. It is constantly changing. It is not imposed from above. For example: this is how I can enjoy the works of the great European composers, thenAll you have are these nutty little cartoons, posters, and other "visual aides."Yeah even Communists in Russia think the American Far-Left is sub-Human.

actual communist. There is nothing wrong with having the views that you attribute to her.
Sure, sure.

I can't see why you would be opposed to many of the views attributed to the woman in the picture. What is wrong with being opposed to nationalism, the proliferation of nuclear weapons, unnecessary wars (which historically have resulted in an enormous number of fatalities), wasteful spending on these wars when the basic needs of those here at home go unmet, the insidious and dangerous doctrine of male supremacy that has its aim to hurt and enslave half of humanity, or believing that all humans are entitled to equality?
The entire right-wing appears to be comprised of the minority of white men in this country who are ignorant, depraved, arrogant, unpatriotic, and have a tendency to condone, discrimination, violence, and the commission of crimes against their fellow Americans and others. This has nothing to do with Stalin, who has been dead since 1953. Somebody needs to tell this to this Moldow fellow.
Nationalism is part of the cultural preservation process.
Equality is nonsense, it''s a fantasy.

enjoy that wonderful rhythm of Bo Diddley, dance my ass off at a Springsteen concert, sing along with U2, Prince, the Detroit Wheels, Aretha Franklin, and the creative folks that have come along since. What is American life without rock and roll? But I have seen the black-and-white videos of the ignorant, mostly white, louts who burned rock and roll records and tried to ban the music in the 1950s, who tried so hard to impose their views of "culture" on the rest of us. New things and ideas blossom in our culture all the time. Our culture is not stagnant.
The idea of equality is not nonsense, for the simple reason that no human being has a right, nor is talented and valuable enough, to declare himself or herself as superior to all others. Those people who think that they are so qualified are, frankly, full of shit. They don't have any more talent or smarts than the rest of us do.
