maybe RINO Republicans don't believe in a republic.....but tea party republicans support the Constitution....
Tea Party Republicans are led around by the nose by establishment Republicans. That's what happens when you don't develop the ability to think logically and independently.
economic egalitarianism may lead to a logical conclusion they are no longer "communist"...but this is a false assumption...unless we are strictly looking at economics....communism is more than just economics....it is also social and political...
"economic egalitarianism" in Red China today certainly does not equate to any decentralization of power...Party control is still strong....the totalitarian single-party communist State lives on....Lenin would be proud...
You are right that Communism is more than economic egalitarianism, but wrong that this aspect of it is not necessary. Not every totalitarian system is Communist. Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, for example, were not Communist.
China has become a capitalist autocracy. It is certainly still non-democratic, but it is not Communist anymore.
