"The ruling elite holds that America's cultural and political choices all lie within a framework of communitarianism (Communism)."

So what else is new? Frankly, that was the position of the colonies, and never -- NEVER -- changed. Albeit, always hidden behind the quasi-free illusion. Ever

Serving up the anti-communist mantra-matrix is just the dialectictical "soup du jour" of the past few generations of paradigm puppet waiters. Even the sincere ones.

By the way, does the reader know the history of communes? For instance,

London, like other cities, was subject to the authority of the Crown through its Sheriff - the Shirereeve or Portreeve. But in the 12th century, as a move towards civic independence, an association of citizens under oath - the commune - was established. At the same time the office of Mayor was created and Henry FitzAilwyn took office in 1189 (whether by appointment or election is unclear).

In 1191 the commune was officially recognised by Prince John when his brother Richard the Lionheart was away at the Crusades, and in 1199 John, now King, granted the citizens of London the right to elect their own Sheriffs - a particularly significant right as the Sheriff was the King's representative through whom the City was governed. The citizens' right to elect a Mayor annually was granted by King John in a charter of 1215.
