  3. Exactly.

  4. How's Atheism working out in North Korea?

  7. Pol Pot. He was on a whole nother level of brutal.
    1
  8. But that didn't stop Pol Pot from killing millions.

  9. Chavez price-controlled and nationalized it out of existence along with killing off the middle class.

  10. Amin wasn't a socialist.
    1
  11. With the 5th Brigade trained by North Korea.

  12. To leverage power for their cause while weakening the power of the existing regime.
    1
  13. With Pol Pot being the unsung "hero."

  14. He set a negative precedent for post-independence Africa.

  15.  @caindecarias2856  He's right, though. Most rebels and revolutionaries are aspiring tyrants.
    1
  16.  @E-101-Beta  Indeed.

  17. And nothing spells self-reliance like running to China with its hand out.
    1
  18.  @14598175  And that's why the American Revolution is the only successful revolution to date.
    1
  19.  @mithunkumar25557  Like Soviet imperialism?
    1
  20. He is, just like every other socialist.
    1
  21. Himself and Party henchmen.

  22.  @jpmonin7429  That's if they're even allowed to give an honest opinion without getting hauled off to jail.
    1
  23.  @keydaniels  Che was half-White, though.
    1
  24. So how did Yugoslavia under Tito and Somalia under Barre manage to get US support?
    1
  25.  @slavicemperor8279  Nope. That would be Deng Xiaoping.
    1
  26. @Death To capitailists Yes they did in the form of a hyper-devalued currency.
    1
  27.  @renegadeace1735  Especially Eastern Europe.
    1
  28. Yes.
    1
  29. Due to its first 4 leaders being tyrants who had no economic viable plan. And one of them (Boyer) reinstated slavery to get the production levels up.
    1
  30. Socialism summed up.
    1
  31. Yes it did. Sanctions are just a cop-out for the price controls and wholesale nationalizations and destruction of the middle class along with corruption, mismanagement and well-intentioned but short-sighted policies that did far more to put Venezuela in its current dismal state of affairs.
    1
  32. In other words, intentions matter more than results.
    1
  33. It's more about vote-buying than actually helping people as free money (really, money taken from the productive and efficient of society) and social programs are designed to keep people dependent.
    1
  34. But Pol Pot gave him a decent run for his money killing 20% of Cambodia.
    1
  35. Because a lot of countries are too weak to defend themselves especially against their bigger neighboring enemies.
    1
  36.  @alerixv  Jim Jones was an Atheist, though.
    1
  37.  @KamikazeChinaman  Case in point: all those educated folks in Cambodia.
    1
  38. Wrong. Most wars are fought over politics and resources, not religion.
    1
  39.  @littleoldlady873  No. They're capitalist welfare states. And Sweden hasn't been socialist since the '70's.
    1
  40. Also AOC and Bernie Sanders.
    1
  41. Whatever, Chavista! <His economic diversification plan was unsuccessful due to American interference.> No. It was unsuccessful because of price controls and wholesale nationalizations of private business killing off the country's wealth-producers. <Venezuela's collapse is due to the oil coup by Obama and Saudi Arabia, in addition to economic embargoes.> How come none of the other oil-rich countries collapsed like Venezuela did despite suffering the same price-collapse?
    1
  42.  @olehsztul6177  <Venezuela is a social democracy not a socialist country. Fact.> And a failed one at that. FACT!
    1
  43.  @bedstuyrover  Yet he had no problem accepting loan money from the West along with military protection to keep the Soviet Union at bay.
    1
  44.  @Timoshemperoni  LOL. Please! Communists hate the the wealthy although a lot of them came from wealthy backgrounds themselves.
    1
  45.  @Timoshemperoni  <What my original point was that the writings of Karl Marx and the Communist manifesto shouldn't be illegal just because it didn't work out well in practice under the circumstances of the USSR or China> Yes it should as more or less the same results were produced in every other country communism was practiced. North Korea, Cambodia, Cuba, Ethiopia, (insert Eastern European country name), etc.

  46.  @hellonhead5905  Even if it was tried, it would have imploded and it be right back to square one with factions and mini-states being formed like post-socialist Somalia.
    1
  47.  @JagmasterGeneral12374  Since when did commies ever give anything back to the people? They always used the people to justify their tyranny.
    1
  48. Exactly.
    1
  49. Nah. Those would have fit in perfectly with Berniebots.
    1
  50. Yet another case of a revolution eating its own.
