Communism is the nonexistent pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. And that rainbow is made of dead bodies. :black101:

I would agree that China, et al are an excellent example of modern communism though. You see, communism and actual socialism can't work because of human nature and human nature continues to exist in the subsequent capitalist system that always replaces them so ergo by the commutative property

My fave part of this thread was when that guy called Sweden a socialist country. It's like, turn off the Fox News and smell the market economy dude.

I'm in favor of China if they destroy Japan for anime and the rape of Nanking.

Great point! Find me a monkey herd/tribe/whatever that doesn't have an alpha. Checkmate beta commu-tards. :smug:

You guys you guys communism only killed 60-100 mil depending on who you ask so I think we should give it another go before we drat it as non-viable.

I don't like communism ewither, I just think "natural rights, or natural law arguments make sense and can be easily twisted to argue for which one is trying to disprove making them bad arguments.

Sorry if I'm unclear. I don't claim to know what human nature is and I don't have to. But I know a few things it isn't. Communist systems pretty conclusively are one of those things outside the set. It was inimical to its populations.

E: I'm defining inimical as 60-100 million corpses in its home countries in a few decades. Before I hear about how this one time there was an ethnic cleansing somewhere and capitalism didn't step in to wave its magic wand and end some multigenerational strife.

Judging from crowsbeak and horselord this thread is actually titled "china abuses human rights. colonial england also abuses human rights"

also, does pushing a bullshit anti-Mendelian plant science for political reasons count as eating all the food in the Ukraine/Russia? I think it counts

I give crowsbeak a hard time mostly because this is a griefer thread, but when he says "improvements" he and I are really on the same page. Butcher's shop or not, here's my first post:

And it's really telling horselord, et al. are avoiding this point and acting like anyone who'd prefer America automatically thinks we have squeaky clean hands 24/7/365. We do bad imperialistic stuff, thanks for the hot breaking news, but it really would be a separate political philosophy clear and distinct from our current flaws if we were banning religious groups or primarying candidates with polonium.

I mean like, haha, wouldn't it be totes craze if someone said that they can't tell the difference between--
