10 planks of communism

Interesting article, and I did note that it was debated and mostly speculative anyways. We really don't know much about Native American cultural or social institutions, and in any case those principles are not readily applicable to modern society.

The United States has been a sort of EU for Americans, for hundreds of years. Our states within a nation (California, Texas, Florida) are on par with European nation-states (England, Spain, etc). The consequences of NAFTA on political or economic union are greatly exaggerated.

True, but you have to look at long-term consequences. The EU started out with Germany and France tying together their coal and steel industries, now it is gradually asserting itself more and more in political matters.

Greatly exagerated? They want to make Canada, US, and Mexico all one nation, this will collapse our entire economy. Theyr building a super highway that will destroy our sovereignty, and by doing so, will reduce us to a 3rd world nation. Not to mention restrict more of our rights.
Dude, theyr not exactly secretive about this. I know the news lies A LOT, but theyr not gonna lie about something like that. Politicians and big business tycoons are bragging about their agenda, laughing at people like you for being dumb enough to fall for their crap.
Your opinion is not your opinion, it's the opinion they gave you.

Yes, of course, they want to destroy our entire economy. It is all a part of their evil plans! MUA HA HA HA!! No, Monty is actually quite right, it is greatly exaggerated as all NAFTA really is, is a trade deal with Canada and Mexico, and frankly, there is not much wrong with that. Not only that, but a super highway can't really get rid of our sovereignty, and I don't even know how or why we'd suddenly become a third world country due to GREATER amounts of trade, I'd think that the 3rd world countries would be the ones who trade less.

Yes, of course, it is all a big conspiracy including Bill Gates, the Pope, the resurrected Hitler, and no less than 3 playboy bunnies. You know the great thing about conspiracy theories? They allow for a world with a lot less gray. I mean, either something is a tool by the evil powers, or it is a force fighting for freedom. There is probably not a lot to be said about the intellectual rigor of these theories, but probably something to be said about the reduction in complexity found in the world afterwards, sort of like having a piece of your brain removed, less intellectual rigor, simpler world.

I don't think combining all of N. America into one country would be a good idea, but I also doubt that it would destroy our economy. We're in much more danger from the possibility of OPEC dropping the dollar than form continental unification. The EU hasn't exactly made Europe poorer.
