God damn it I can't take your continued butchering of the cyrillic alphabet. Transliterated that would be kommtsiits, with the second i being Ukrainian cyrillic. It's коммунист.

I know this is from Uncyclopedia, always good for a stupid laugh, but I felt like being pedantic today.

Of course. Very Good.

However, we can all agree that the DailyKos is not a terrorist website, unlike DailyKos's counterparts that are as far right as DailyKos is left. These sites include FreeRepublic, LittleGreenFootballs and Stromfront(pun intended).

The banner art of the DailyKos features a guy in a 1920s style clothes waving a flag (can't call it the American flag) in a style than can only be called Socialist Realism.

Is DailyKos Communist? In the Marxist-Leninist tradition, no, because it is too undisciplined. It is absolutely anti-bourgeois (in the Marxist meaning), pacifist (except against the bourgeoisie),
and elitist, as Leftists must be to lead the ignorant self-deluded masses in the swing states to start voting their real interests.
The people calling it extreme or communist have either never read the site or only read troll diaries posted by conservatives and then linked to by conservative sites.

When did I call Kos Communist? Can you read? I stated explicitly that it was not.

In fact, your whole spiel nicely reinforces my evaluation of it:

Which is why it isn't Communist. Too emotive and ideologically discursive.

And I said that it was pacifist, except against Republicans.

And since when does being middle class, with unique views, exclude one from being a leftist?

I guess it isn't communist, then. Right? That's what this thread is about. If you want to complain about them, there is another thread specifically made for that.
