Communism, Socialism, Fascism, Capitalism, et al are NOT forms of 
government.

They all are economic systems which attempt to distribute wealth, the 
resources for the production of goods and services, and attempt to 
manage the distribution of these goods and services of production.

And you simply cannot be saying that your Constitution outlaws any of 
the above because it does no such thing - except in your own mind of 
course (and what Glenn Beck comes out with no doubt).
