'Classical' liberals aren't communists; and there are still some of those around, but not many.
Same can said about 'classic' conservatives. They are a dying breed too.

It's all neoconservative and 'progressive socialist' liberals now. They are both dictatorial populist totalitarians; like Bush's "I don't have a problem with dictatorship, as long as I'm the dictator" statement.
Two faces of the same coin; same way that fascism and marxism are essentially identical in practice (though diametrically oppossed in theory). Both are aimed at centralization and expansion of governmental control. The 'two parties' of American politics are now republicrat and demublican. I can barely tell any difference between the two anymore.

I was raised on the idea that "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help" were the worst words that you could ever hear coming out of somebody's mouth. LOL
Now, a whole generation is coming of voting age that has been taught to rely on the government for everything; to trust the government; and to never question the government... Scary stuff, IMO

Now for a tell-it-vision 'special report':
"Trust the government, the government is your friend"
"Trust the government, the government is your friend"
"Trust the government, the government is your friend"
"Trust the government, the government is your friend"
"Trust the government, the government is your friend"
"Trust the government, the government is your friend"
"Trust the government, the government is your friend"
"Trust the government, the government is your friend"
"Trust the government, the government is your friend"
"Trust the government, the government is your friend"
"Trust the government, the government is your friend"
"Trust the government, the government is your friend"
"Trust the government, the government is your friend"...

Friends don't let friends use booleans.
