36. no, it's "Revolutionary Worker"

besides, in case your remark about communism is refering to communist Russia: communism there (especially under Stalin) had as much to with communist principals as Hitlers Nazi Germany had to do with democracy, though Hitler came to power within a democratic system. Both ended up being very undemocratic.

Any form of government can fall victim to some form of despotism, the current Bush regime is evidence of that.

Personally, i'm as left as they come, but i wouldn't want any part of communism if it isn't democratic. I'd rather have part of capitalism if it would be democratic.
But with all his concentration of economic, political and media power in the hands of a small elite, privitized elections without accoutability, there isn't much democracy left.
