Yes, I AM an American. And I do understand what the ideal of communism means, and most of my readers also understand that comparison was meant based on the actual practices of communism, where things didn’t go very well, not on the perfect working order of communism.
I also understand that if you had something to say about it, my e-mail is everywhere that story is, and you could have informed me that you used an excerpt of my work, and had the courtesy to complain directly to my face.
I’m not writing you because I’m american or I don’t like communism or feel any bizzarre need to defend my country, it is what it is, and I think if it every truly worked without human greed and perversion communism would be a great governmental system, but I do find it completely rude that you feel free to imply that I’m ignorant or subversive without the common decency to discuss it with me. That is what I find even more disturbingly subversive, you’re problem with this issue was from my use, yet you don’t discuss it with me. You use me as an example of your point, but never once spoke to me or tried to find out what my thoughts/knowledge on the subject were. You’re making a lot of assumptions about me, after getting offended that I made them about communism. You have no idea what i know or think about communism in it’s ideal form, as opposed to it’s practiced form.
You are what you complain I am, subversive and assumptive.
