Imagine if we'd rebuilt Russia like we did Japan. There would be no distinction between eastern and western europe.

If Japan could go from the maniac murderous, crazy state religion suicide war cult of basically its whole history up 1945 to the prosperous, free, democratic, neighborly and valuable member of the world community that it is today, why couldn't we have done the same good for the Russian people? Russia was way less crazy than Japan to begin with.

facism is what it is. Franco's Spain minded its own business. The relevant war was the field test for the German military weaponry pre-ww2

the reason Japan (and Germany) are modern cornerstones of liberal democracy is ironically enough, because the United States caved into the pressure of the demands of the working class. they built into these countries protections for workers, making them Democratic Socialist states by American standards

See:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codetermination_in_Germany

quote:

Codetermination in Germany is a concept that involves the right of workers to participate in management of the companies they work for.[1] Known as Mitbestimmung, the modern law on codetermination is found principally in the Mitbestimmungsgesetz of 1976. The law allows workers to elect representatives (usually trade union representatives) for almost half of the supervisory board of directors. The legislation is separate from the main German company law Act for public companies, the Aktiengesetz. It applies to public and private companies, so long as there are over 2000 employees. For companies with 500-2000 employees, one third of the supervisory board must be elected.

There is also legislation in Germany, known as the Betriebsverfassungsgesetz,[2] whereby workers are entitled to form Works Councils at local shop floor level.

quote:

Codetermination (also "copartnership" or "worker participation") is the practice of workers of an enterprise having the right to vote for representatives on the board of directors in a company. It also refers to staff have binding rights in work councils on issues in their workplace. The practice of board level representation is widespread in developed democracies.[1] The first laws requiring worker voting rights include the Oxford University Act 1854 and the Port of London Act 1908 in the United Kingdom, a voluntary Act on Manufacturing Companies of 1919 in Massachusetts in the United States, and the Supervisory Board Act 1922 (Aufsichtsratgesetz 1922) in Germany, which codified collective agreement from 1918.[2] Most countries with codetermination laws have single-tier board of directors in their corporate law (such as Sweden, France or the Netherlands), while a number in central Europe (particularly Germany and Austria) have two-tier boards. Most laws apply to companies over a certain size, from Denmark at 20 employees, to Germany over 500 (for one-third representation) and 2000 (for just under one half), to France over 5000 employees.

https://www.ukessays.com/essays/management/differences-between-the-german-and-japanese-economic-institutions-management-essay.php

quote:

Germany and Japan are widely considered as the same family of economies in comparative capitalism literature. In the theory of varieties of capitalism, Hall and Soskice (2001) categorised the national capitalist economies into two main streams: liberal market economies (LMEs) and coordinated market economies (CMEs). In contrast to market-driven economies in the US and the UK, German and Japanese economies are more similar in their non-market coordination in industrial relations, vocational training and education, corporate governance, inter-firm relations, and relations with employees



basically, in order to prevent the terrifying inevitable global workers revolution, the United States and allied powers helped establish mixed economies, social democracies, across the defeated lands after WWII


the irony is that here at home, after the war, the united states proceeded to break apart the workers unions that once made it great, & went full free market fundamentalist in the height of the Cold War.

The Cold War was a big part of why the USSR failed, but the problem is that market fundamentalism failed as well.

the Final World Order of global liberal capitalism was erected at the end of the Cold War, the End of History. We enjoyed this time in the End of History, as Last Men in the Nietzschean sense until the turn of the century. The End of History Ended First in 2001 at the political level, Then in 2008 in the Great Recession.

We are now in the open wound of the Real, history has come back rearing it's ugly head, & the old orders are battling it out again.

can we learn our lesson this time and just do it right?

The vast majority of american liberals don't support "doing anything to protect the status quo of private property", and correcting the abuses of big industries and their conflicts of interest in government remain one of the primary goals of liberals, which you'd know if you actually paid attention to the party you're dismissing out of hand.

Hi I believe CNF is referring to the classical definition of liberalism which seeks to limit government interference in the private sector and maximize personal freedoms, including the freedom to private property and maximization thereof (to the detriment of the lower and working class)

I believe you're referring to modern liberalism which is apparently identity politics and smokescreen bullshit and pseudo-socialist-lite
