Tom!!!

I guess this is worth one last effort, because you're worth it.

There is a difference between economic and political systems. We don't learn that as children, it's added. Children see godless communist dictatorship as one entity. It can be.

And, it's necessary to have three adjectives because there are three independent factors. Godless. Communist. Dictatorship.

It is inaccurate, illiterate, and demonstrates a lack of understanding of political, social and economic theory to include any one of them with the other when describing a country.

There may be countries which repress religious expression. Don't have to have a communist economic system, don't have to be dictatorships.

The former Soviet Union may have been communist, AND a dictatorship, AND repressed religious expression. Three qualities, not overlapping.
