The forum itself is Capitalism...if that's the medium they use to peddle their wares, then that's fine. I guess I can see how the internal structure of the forum could be seen as communism, except that communism is based on equality (only on paper) among the masses.

I think the confusion here is what communism ends up being and what the technical definition or rather the original intest is/was.
Equality among the masses is certainly the intent, yet we all know it ends up making a rich minority and a dirt poor majority.
