There are communists among this. Many younger people don't recognize or don't see it as a problem. Communism was defeated in 1989, and twenty years is a long time to worry about the ghosts of a Cold War.
But communism isn't dead. The ideology itself, abhorrent to anyone with an ounce of self-respect or belief in a higher power, continues to ensnare the lazy, who see communism as a way to use the less fortunate in a society as a road to political power. White middle and upper class kids become communists because it sounds like they are helping out society's workers, but in reality they are looking to use these people for their own ends. And that end is always power.
Charles Jaco wants to know why Tea Party protestors talk about socialists and Marxists. Here's the beginning of that answer. The first in our series is Tony Pecinovsky. Tony is a good starting point because he's not just a student of communism, he's a member. He proudly displays his communism.
From this LinkedIn Profile, we see Tony is:
Missouri/Kansas District Organizer at Communist Party USA
I have worked as a union organizer, advocacy journalist and District Organizer for the MO/KS Communist Party.
I currently serve in the following capacities: secretary-treasurer, Greater St. Louis CWA City Council; secretary, St. Louis area Jobs with Justice Leadership Team; St. Louis area Pro-Vote board member; and the St. Louis Newspaper Guild.
We see that Tony is an organizer, that he has written articles for Political Affairs (billed as Marxist Thought Online), and that he was a member of the Young Communist League USA before joining the full-fledged Communist Party.
His email address is the cpusa.org (communist party usa).
So we can now all agree that Tony is a communist? No one disputes that? Let's move on.
Tony is the secretary of the St Louis area Jobs with Justice. He is the secretary-treasurer of the Greater St Louis CWA City Council. And he's a board member of the St Louis area Pro-Vote.
So from what we can easily discern, Tony's status as a communist is not in question, and neither is his involvement with local progressive organizations and unions. There is a comfortable ease with which he serves on the boards and as an officer in these organizations.
And he's just the first one.

Good job sir. I read his link and he is unabashedly a communist and by the way he also worked for SEIU. Must be purely coincidental.
Keep up the good work. They cannot stand in the truth in the light of day.

May I suggest that ...
well, I should ask first...is there a comfortable knowledge here...about Austrian Economics? Because in these days of
"capitalism"...bad....
"Socialism"...(eerrr) better????
That we need a better understanding of what "Free Market" is. And it ain't no freakin' "Love Story".
The love story of Government and Corporations...
Mercantilism.../
the interference in the Free Market...is allowing these "folks"...to envision some "solution...
for others of course...
that "they" will never have to have anything more to do with...
than to knowingly nod their heads.
It's NOT "apples and oranges"
Its'
"I'll give you five oranges for three apples"
or vice versa....
By the way, historically?
Socialism is a "hermit crab"
