    Anyway communist, just don't let those comments get to you. Getting worried about what people says or thinks about you will only get you medical bills, since you'll end up needing a shrink, a dietist and a lot of aesthetical operations.

    Uh, the people in S.T. were obviously facist....

    but the aliens were "communists" as he describes it.

    however theres a difference between not caring about yourself and communism, Communism could just as easy be based on caring for other people(so they share their stuff), so i think its just a generalising...
