Communism is far more of an authoritarian system than it is an economic one. In fact, one of the big reasons why it can't survive in its pure form is that it's the equvalent of economic suicide for the country (even China has had to back WAY off on its dealings with buisnesses and capitalism to stay powerful). The two extreems of the Left and Right are communism and fascism, both are run by dogmatic idealists with no regard for how things work in the real world. America is pretty protected from communism because we value individualism in our economic dealings. That's why, of the two, fascism is the one that radical Americans tend to edge toward.
Is the possibility of someone somewhere accidently inserting the wrong name into a form worth not going forward with this? Like marichiko said, this isn't a siphon point for monitoring all movement in the corridor because you can take the backroads if you REALLY want to avoid it. It's for catching people who either don't know they're there or don't take them into account.
btw, is the stuff about my comments being due to inexperience really necessary?
