Are you really believing this?

It doesn't matter what the mainlanders would feel. Hawaiians has a right to self-determination. If a majority or super-majority supports independence, Hawaii should become an independent nation.

Last I heard, the majority of people on Taiwan preferred the status quo - no independence, no unification, just wait to see what happens.

I support that, but unification is inevitable.

[Kidlicious]

Democrats also to become communists.

Because the Chinese Communist Party can lead us to socialism, whereas the Republican Party cannot. Right now the CCP is simply returning power to the workers which is a process that must be contrlled very carefully. If they must silence capitalists in the process, then so be it.

The Republicans, on the other hand, are silencing their opposition so that they can have nearly uncontrolled power within the American government!

One is working for the empowerment of their people, and the other is working to bring all the power to themselves.

You people have such little faith in me. It really is kind of disheartening.

Don't take it personally. Every one of us can have misplaced faith, and it was possible IMHO that you put misplaced faith in the Chinese government. It surprised me however, because of your strong pro-freedom of speech and anti-dictatorship opinions.

Re: Republicans to Become Communists

Both are extremely conservative holding their own values above those of minorities or other nations.

Not true. The communist party of China works for peace and cooperation between all kind of people.

Both are building/have built up militaries for aggressive campaigns: the US invasion of another country, China's planned decimation of a neighboring country.

Not true. The communist party of China only keeps a nessecary strength to avoid agression from the capitalist world.

Both support and encourage big business by offering tax breaks and looking the other way on corruption.

Not true. The communist party of China cracks down hardly on any kind of nonparty member activities that tries to undermine the legal partymemebers activites.

Both have government officials either holding high positions in companies or have wealth invested in companies.

Of course - no other than party members are educated enough to take care of such kind of operations.

Both are corrupt beyond reproach.

Not true. All incomes from partymembers goes to the common treasure to benefit the whole population.

Both attempt to restrict civil liberties of their own people.

Not true. Any chinese citizen can say what he want as long as the party has approved it.

Both engage in the inhumane torture of prisoners.

Certainly not. After a swift meeting with a judge all prisoners are cleanly shot in the backhead in full public so everyone can see that the legal system works.

Both have a leader who was put into power without the majority of the people's support (at least once in their political careers).

This is pure BS. The leader of the Communist party in China are found by free elections among the party members.

Both promote intolerance of another racial group.

Not true. The party hasn't any intolerance towards the chinese in Tibet - they just react against those rebellion chinese that think Tibet isn't a chinese province.

Both encorage patriotism and nationalism as a means to justify their authority.

Not true. The authority of the party grows from the people.

Both also purport their way of life or culture as being superior and generally more 'good' than others.

Thats just the law of history - who can fight that ?

Both pay lip service to environment concerns while allowing industry to pollute heavily in the name of economic advancement.

This is pure BS. Don't you know that one of the main concerns of the party is to preserve the earth for the future party members ?

Both ignore the pleas of the working class.

That is certainly not true. The party does every thing it can to protect the workers - especially those who works in coalmines.

Both support/have supported terrorist organizations or rogue states.

Not true. The communist party of China only supports organisations and states that wants to make a better world.

Both behave unilaterally in world politics.

What are you talking about ? The communist party of China are always on the side of those who supports the views of the communist party of China.

Both restrict freedom of speech.

Already answered,

Both use a philosophy intended for peace and understanding as the backbone and justification of their party, while failing to adhere to any of the requirements of their respective philosophies.

BS. The communist party of China are a pure peaceloving party which has grown from the people.

So I wonder: If the Republican Party changed its name to the Communist Party without actually changing any of its policies, would it gain more support from liberals and communists?

It is certainly unfair of you to compare the suppressing, fascistic and capitalistic democratic party of US (even if they lost the last election) with the peaceloving and humane communist party of China. Shame on you.

It's as inevitable as democracy in Cuba

You forgot the demo, both parties in this country are the same.

It's part of China.

I'm curious. How can something be said to be apart of a country when said country hasn't had sovereignty over the "rebel province" for decades?

Change that to NEVER had control over Taiwan in the history of China. I have read the history of Taiwan.

You need to read Taiwan history. How can you have Unification when they have never been together.
