Does the world in general associate Red with communism?

It's mostly seen as a left wing colour, although in the USA I think it's used to represent the Republican party.

Not really the Republicans have never been to far to the left more to the right and now the far right. The way PTP is throwing around money at present would have been ok with George Bush but this bunch in control now would be haveing a fit.

He didn't mean to imply that the Republicans in the US has ever been left. Neither is the 'red' something associated with them, you cannot say you voted 'red' and everyone knows what you mean. It is more a case of 'using two basic color to paint the map to represent what major party the representatives comes from', not what color of t-shirt they have or what is part of their name.

Those with red in their name are more often left.

Sounds like PT isn't really against contracts handed out improperly or rushed, but this one was supposedly handed out to a company where someone they don't like is on the board of directors, so they decide to go to war.

But when I look around in Bangkok a huge chunk of women from up northeast drink often, which can be seen around and close to the apartment building. Some even when working (apartment-maid etc).

And yet the last Dem-led government wasn't disbanded for it's blatant use of a banned politician in the formation of it's coalition.

As we have been so clearly instructed by PTP-fans, Red Shirt fans and the EC - it isn't against election-laws to cooperate with banned politicians. They are merely only disallowed from themselves taking seats in parliament or the government.

First can I say that I have not studied the ideology of Libertarianism sufficently to differentiate it from the ideology of Anarchy, so I don't understand completely your beliefs.
However it is my understanding that the Constitution of Thailand and Organic Laws about Political parties do not specifically prohibit banned politicians from giving financial support and "advice" to those parties. That may be due to the rush to rewrite these laws following the last coup but it makes it difficult to initiate action for disbandment unless it can be proven that a banned politician had an executive position in the party.

So in your lengthy non-responsive reply you are trying to say that PTP and Thaksin did nothing wrong? Which is what I wrote [that you guys feel] in my post. And thereby pointing out that then, by using deductive logic, neither did BJT do anything wrong when they took advice from their own Newin. So what is Siam Simon complaining about?

You guys need to decide on a position and keep it. Preferably all Red Shirt fans also need to decide that you cannot populate all positions of an argument depending on what makes you win the debate...
