Another example of the wiki being wrong, at least as far as Westminster based Parliamentary systems. The executive is the Crown or her representative, eg the Governor General or in the case of Canadian Provinces, the Lieutenant Governor. Parliament (or Provincial Legislature) passes a bill, much like Congress though generally the Upper House has been neutered or eliminated, and when the Bill gets Royal Assent, it becomes law. In theory Royal Assent can be refused resulting in a veto, but in practice it almost never happens (over 300 years in England). The executive also does a few other things such as appointing the government based on which ever party or coalition can pass a budget, no budget, no government, usually resulting in an election, occasionally a different coalition.
In practice, with a majority, due to party solitary, the PM can act like a dictator until the next election as his party will pass most any law the PM proposes/supports and the executive will follow the recommendations of Parliament.
Further, in Canada at least, the courts and especially the Supreme Court acts much like the American courts and Supreme Court and can declare laws (or parts of) null and void due to the Constitutionality. In the recent past and I believe even today in New Zealand, Parliament was Supreme and could pass almost any law

What a coincidence, the biggest threat to my freedom also comes from your government.

We'll never really know if he was planning on going to Syria or if he really wanted to get clean and being a crackhead he may well not known as well. As for what the police believe, well they're going to parrot the prevailing current meme that all Muslims are terrorists and all terrorists are Muslim.

He didn't want to go to Syria at all, rather to Libya.

The crackhead who attacked Parliament was pissed off that he couldn't get a passport and leave the country or even get thrown in jail to clean himself up.

It's one thing to claim that the Theory of Gravity isn't quite right because it can't get Mercury's orbit just right, it is another to claim that gravity doesn't exist.
One is an example of skepticism, the other is an example of insanity

And yet it is right wing governments that are currently implementing the police state in the majority of the western world, usually with the libertarians cheering them on as long as they get a tax break and are allowed to socialize their losses.

Shouldn't that be 1985 (released in '86). Couple of better links, with screen shots, second includes a zip, third includes more images as well as a (broken?) simulator. http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mu... http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mu... http://www.pcjs.org/devices/pc...

You mean like the USSR, the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics? Generally what there are are a bunch of countries using (claiming) socialism to strive for communism and it is the propaganda that labels them communist. Socialism like so many political ideologies, comes in many forms and when implemented in countries with a history of authoritarianism usually ends up authoritarian. Similarly countries with a history of freedom usually end up more free.

You must have checked out a few definitions before finding that one. From Google,

Then we get your definition and after we get from wikipedia,

Then from www.businessdictionary.com

These were all displayed by Google when searching for "define communism" and I'm too lazy to add all the proper URLs Note that a couple of these definitions include "no state"

San Marino elected a communist government. Later they voted them out. Seems the communists didn't take all their rights away which is the question you asked, which country has been communist and retained their rights.
You seem to be thinking of feudalism, where the government did own everything including the labourers.

That's a pretty big assumption. The people don't pay the large campaign costs. The people don't supply the well paying jobs doing nothing for the politicians after their public service is done. At that the idea of helping people is a left-wing idea and anti-American.

San Marino, the oldest republic in the world. The problem with all your examples is they were authoritarian states that became communist, not democracies with a history of personal freedoms. As Russia and China show, becoming a democracy in Russia's case or a corporatist in China's place didn't change the authoritarian aspect of their governments. Lots of authoritarian governments have been right wing as well, look at the middle east and at various times most of Central and South America. Was the common Cuban more free in 1958?

Don't forget no gravity, needed for traction in mining (try using a shovel or bulldozer in zero gravity and then there are explosives) and needed for purifying the metal through the trick of lighter things floating on heavier things.

Are people this uninformed? by definition communism does not have a government. As others have pointed out, there has never been a communist nation state, just socialist and socialism comes in many varieties form authoritarian to libertarian, government ownership to things like co-ops and credit unions.
The problem is the huge amount of successful propaganda that has been used on the people of America and that it has leaked to the rest of the world. Propaganda like Obama empowering the insurance industry even more by implementing a right wing medical system is socialist or communist.
