Comments by "Kameraden" (@Alte.Kameraden) on "The Revolution guaranteed inflation - BankWars: Weimar Hyperinflation Episode 2" video.

  1. 1. He never said national socialism was a good thing, nor did he hint at it. I have no idea where you picked that out of this video. 2. Luxembourg and Liebknecht were calling for an armed revolution, which would result in nothing more than the deaths of many people. If the Russian revolution is something to compare, Lenin murdered thousands of socialist who were not radical enough, let alone hundreds of thousands of none socialist. When you arm a mob, and resort to violence, you are just as responsible for said deaths. Even if you don't pull the trigger. Luxembourg/Liebknecht in turn were inciting and calling for that revolution, every death caused is on their hands, not the Freikorp or the SPD. You shouldn't' have sympathy for their deaths. Conclusion being, they signed their own death warrants.

  2. So Woodrow Wilson was a Socialist? (US Federal Reserve was created under Wilson) FDR was a Socialist? (Literally stole gold out of the hands of the citizens, let alone using Mussolini's work programs as a basis for his glorious Great New Deal) Golly, and I like how they're used as champions of Capitalism by people who don't even know what Capitalism is.

  3. I know Socialist often refer to a State as an Institution which holds a Monopoly on Violence, which is an utterly stupid definition of State. The Spartacus Uprising is a beautiful example why it's stupid. State doesn't hold a monopoly on violence otherwise citizens wouldn't have the capability to be violent themselves. The State may hold a monopoly on prosecution of those who conduct violent against the state or other citizens, but the state has and never will hold a monopoly on violence itself. The Spartacus Uprising is such a good example of this primarily because you have multiple factions taking arms not just against the budding Weimar Republic, but also groups arming themselves against the uprising itself, none in control of a state, and many entirely voluntary.

  4. We can see now why TIK referred to it as a Socialist Civil War. Opposition in said Civil War always accusing the other side of not being "REAL" Socialist. We know where the meme came from. Issue is, because of their obsession and attempts to disassociate the masses don't even know what Right/Left even are anymore, and associate it entirely with Liberalism/Conservatism, then don't even know what Liberalism and Conservatism are as I've seen conservatives far more liberal than people who claim to be Liberal. These people, have turned the political spectrum into a utter mess, and I honestly think it's on purpose. I can think of no reason why Communist can be conservative according to Orwell when he referred to more conservative communist considered Fascism to the left of them, and why Gentile would refer to a Capitalist State as a Liberal State.... yet Capitalism is Right Wing? So wouldn't that imply Liberalism is actually to the right not left? Honestly think there has been a lot of misinformation by Marxist/Socialist academics for the greater part of the last century to lead to these major contradictions. And to be Honest, they're all Socialist, just all have different ideas on what Socialism is... in turn this also means Socialist in General have NEVER come to a consensus on what Socialism really is, Marxist socialist may have among the circles of Marxist socialist, but not socialist themselves.... though I would argue that not even Marxist Socialist have come to a consensus for how many I've argued with whom have wildly different opinions on Socialism and what it is vs the next Marxist Socialist. Just yesterday I ran into one of the violent revolutionary types which advocated the murder/extermination of all capitalist. I linked him the Mr H's Shrinking Market video TIK made a long time ago because he got in a toddler style fit when I said he sounded almost exactly like a National Socialist. Of course he replied with that the NS were Capitalist so linked TIK's review of Vampire Economy, made sure he knew that it was written by a Communist.

  5.  @samsonsoturian6013  I'm not calling FDR and Wilson Communist, but democratic Socialist.

  6.  @samsonsoturian6013  Also FDR did have a very positive opinion of Mussolini up until the later 1930s. So did Churchill even. Mussolini was a "positive" role model for many politicians throughout Europe and even the Americas for years. (btw positive as in they viewed it that way) Mostly because he wasn't a Marxist Socialist. Marxism wasn't as popular as many try to paint it out to be by the 1920s. TIK points out quite clearly a good reason why. FDR in particular decided to join the Democratic Party only shortly before running for President, which means it was a recent change in his life. Which means something recently politically made him make that decision. I honestly believe the man was a democratic socialist. Which is why he switched to the leftist party, even getting permission from his uncle to do so Theodore Roosevelt. TR himself was very anti democratic in the context of the democratic party, so much so he split the republican party in a vane attempt to stop Woodrow Wilson's Socialist policies which horrified him. Thinking just his name alone would pull people from both the left/right against Wilson but only insured his victory instead.

  7.  @samsonsoturian6013  The fact you replied states you do, otherwise you wouldn't of wasted your time.

  8.  @jussim.konttinen4981  He lived about as long as most WWI vets. 1950s is around when most started going. If Hitler survived he likely would of died in the 50s or 60s with his conditions. So I would not say Schumacher had a short life. But as Schumacher stated the Communist being but  "Red painted Nazis" which is odd as the NS also liked Red. To be honest there isn't much difference between the USSR and NS Germany, so calling the East German government Red Painted Nazis is more true than many lovers of the USSR would admit.

  9. Marxonian form of writing. Marx did it as well. Write in a confusing way to ensure people will not understand what you're actually saying.
