So you can if you just don't say itl then kill someone later.

Right.

But it's still illegal to kill someone, just like if we found out you were a commie you'd get the boot.

So you can be a communist, just not while running. Only once elected.

nooo

Also remember McCarthyism.

The laws should simply recognize what is already true, that allegiance to communism violates the constitutional oath.

Easy to call someone a communist

Yes but if you accuse someone of murder without evidence, you can get in quite a lot of trouble yourself.

Plus this would give commies a legitimate grievance. Besides. If everyone votes to be communist, then hey, their choice.

So what? At least they can't hold office.

It's the law.

And that is ignoring the will of the people.

this isn't a democracy

it's a republic

Law is predicated upon their will

And theoretically, you can say anything is the will of the people, but that has nothing to do with what is right and what is wrong.

I'm saying it would be right to bar communists from holding offices in government.

What you propose violates several God given rights. Also, if the people want to be wrong, they are allowed to.

You have the right to bear arms, but if you threaten to kill somebody with the gun you are being sold, you are not to be sold that gun.

Trust me when I say most Venezuelans would approve an American intervention

Youre making me defend commies man, this sucks

Doesn't make it right.

As I said before, the state should not be the one to fix Venezuela, it should have a minor role that encourages market forces and charity to do the work.

Self-determination means the freedom to make mistakes.

Venezuelans have to fix venezuela

exactly

the state needs to step aside, not take an interventionist lead

The problem is that with Maduro and his people they can't

yep

But they can't without a basic economy

And if the military does jackshit they're fucked

Yeah

Though loyalties sound undetermined for military

That's why interventionist might be needed

it all down to who the military sided with and if the US decides to come in from the side line

The problem is most higher ups are corrupt as well

We will offer humanitarian aod like food, I am sure

Aid

My fundamental belief is just that taxpayer dollars should always go towards national interests. Charity and humanitarian aid should come from donations. This keeps the government much more responsible with its use of funds.

Humanitarian causes sound nice, but they're prone to lots of corruptions.
