  1.  @user-vs6oe8fl3m  did you just fucking say Stalinism is democratic?

  2. Luke Bruce by that logic the USSR, Cuba, Yugoslavia, DPRK, etc were all capitalist. Even an oven, a sewing machine or a plot of land are means of production. Markets exist everywhere, even if grey or black.

  3.  @thotslayer9914  Extreme right libertarians have the most common ground with all sides of the political spectrum. We'll allow you to wither away in whatever form of government you consent living under. We'll allow you to come in and trade with us if you wish. It's everyone else who looks at us and say "those meanies have no government, we must assimilate them against their will".

  5. +Wazzok1 Lenin and Stalin oppressed a class called "kulaks". Stalin also committed ethnic cleansing by shifting ethnic minorities across the Soviet Union and actual genocide through planned famines. Stalin was also planned the genocide of Jews by accusing them of undermining the Soviet state and being capitalist collaborators.

  11. Not true. Many countries where the questioning is illegal do it for all genocides. For example the genocide in the Balkans. The expulsions were mostly because they were easy to blame as middle managers as kings got into debt and needed a scapegoat.

  12.  @AgendaFiles  Look up the Weather Underground and the former members that became professors or assistants in schools/universities. There's like 5 or 6. So, they're not nameless, they have names and faces you can easily find online. Is that enough? Will you forfeit the argument and accept we were right? Or are you going to deny that your conditions have been met and change the subject? Because I won't follow you down that spiral.

  28.  wannabchomsky  Okay but they pay payroll tax, no? When people are employed through their business (including people at the management level) they pay income tax, no? When they build, they're giving construction companies business, no? This means people working for construction companies get paid. They're contributing by paying money directly to others. Meanwhile taxes waste your money on bombing the shit out of middle eastern countries and lining the pockets of politicians, with only a few pennies on the dollar making it to public infrastructure.

  34. +Thomas Ridley okay, "same tactics as Hitler". Did Trump burn down the Capitol and blame Mexicans? Are Trump supporters painting Mexican flags on Mexican-owned businesses? Is Trump cementing his power with a Kristallnacht when it's actually the left deplatforming right wingers, undermining right-wing businesses and engaging in "book burning"? Is LITERALLY ANY ELECTED OFFICIAL IN A DEMOCRACY doing anything other than using existing divisions to portray himself as the only answer to save the country? Literally everyone does that. It's how you get elected. What platform did Hillary run on? "Trump's gonna destroy the country and voting for me is the only way to save it". "This crap never ends well for anyone" wow since 2016 I've been hearing that the dictatorship is coming any day now. Any day now.

  35.  @stevengordon3271  Technocracy is evil.
    2
  36.  @stevengordon3271  You just went through a worldwide event where the experts constantly tripped over themselves over what the science actually was. The problem with technocracy is that we all can tell when ideologically driven decisions go too far, technocracy is especially evil because it has no bounds and no matter how evil it becomes people will cross their arms and defend it because the experts know better.
    2
  37.  @stevengordon3271  No, it's the perfect example. If the technocrats can only deal with stuff we already know, then they're useless. This was about how valid technocracy is. Someone mocking an expert doesn't magically contort reality into making them wrong. "Almost none of the opposition to masks, social distancing and tactical lockdowns were actual qualified scientists" - Except for the scientists who said masks were useless, then changed their mind. "The problem was the blind ideologists, not the technocrats." - I mean, this is pure No True Scotsman because you will get blind ideologists in a technocracy, and especially how modern academia works science has been twisted into a game of passing peer review which means people get ahead by towing the line rather than making radical discoveries. Who is the technocrat who picks the technocrats? You can't have your system without blind ideologues.

  38.  @stevengordon3271  The same playbook used for the 2009 swine flu? Sure. Stop blaming others. This is about getting things wrong. Other people don't matter. Your expertise can't be undermined if you're RIGHT. Don't be WRONG. That's the bare minimum expected of a "technocrat". They can't even do that. Your technocracy is an evil system and 2020 forever discredited it. Sorry to demolish the foundations of your belief system. Adjust. We all had to do it at one point.

  39.  @etiennesauve3386  "We could say the same thing about state owned companies. " - Not really. State-owned companies do not need to turn a profit because their existence can be financed as long as there's taxpayers. A cooperative needs to turn a profit or else it runs out of funds and collapses. Also, many state-owned companies benefit from the fact that the state can use the power of law to drive competition away. "I brought up the cooperative mode to show that socialism is not just "stealing" from the the poor capitalist" - by definition that's kind of what socialism is...

  40. +noledareminombreaunamaquina the modern world has less state intervention, not more. Also Marx's utopia would be a communist utopia because socialism is still a state-controlled society and only meant to be a transitioning period.

  53.  @reuvenpolonskiy2544  This is a very weird comment. Nobody talked about hypnosis. Hitler was elected with around 33% of popular support, and the circumstances around the March 5th elections were they gained 43% of the vote were very suspect. So no, people didn't choose this. Even those who voted for the party didn't choose this. You don't see humans, just targets.

  59.  @fredflintstome6532  The point is that I want you to apply your morality in a consistent fashion. Without consistent principles, you actually have no moral compass. I don't care if you enjoy committing atrocities as long as someone "kicks off" the atrocities first. Stop making excuses. Just admit that it's what you want all along, and you conveniently have an excuse. It's not irrelevant. The Russians put their rather naive theory into operation. It's not irrelevant. They're giving you the excuse you need to commit the atrocity. That's all you need. I'm not going to jog on. It's you who's going to jog and run away from the tough questions.

  60.  @crabbytemptations1771  Please stop. There's been decades of alt-historians trying to weave this fiction. If they had delayed, they'd still lose. The US carried the Soviet Union and the UK on their backs. Even without entering the war, the US would ensure German loss. War is indeed about maths. Without logistics, you lose.

  61. "there even are socialists who are okay with the right to own property" - then they're not socialists and should seek a different ideology "by mixing all the socialists together under the evil imagery" - it's only fair, considering how all the socialists who seized control put murderers in power for some reason

  65. "The cooperative business model is an exemple of socialism that works" - but it doesn't. The cooperative business model is simply a different way to handle the internal management of a company. They exist under capitalist systems and play by capitalism's rules. Using a cooperative model is voluntary from the part of the owners and the workers voluntarily enter contracts with such companies. And the most successful cooperatives are known for bending the rules on worker ownership. Mondragon for example purchased a retailer chain and "inherited" the workers but did not give them partial ownership even though the company is under a cooperative. "Also, the stockmarket is full of socialist, they buy stocks to be part of this group called shareholders." - it's publicly traded but privately owned. "That is group ownership of the means of productions" - but they don't actually own the means of production. Are you just playing dumb for comedic purposes or is that an actual defense of socialism?

  66.  @etiennesauve3386  I don't see how that affects the discussion one way or the other. Cooperatives are still not an example of socialism, and the US isn't the freest market economy. None of those statements should be controversial.

  68. Rail can be repaired within 12-24 hours. The fact that rail is so important is why armies generally have engineer corps capable of cutting the damaged section, fill the craters and reweld new tracks. Even today Ukraine and Russia bomb rails to get temporary relief to pull off a maneuver, otherwise they'd keep wasting fortunes in missiles to just hit tracks that get repaired quick.

  69.  @avisting  Hitting a bridge? It took the US 873 raids to bring down the Thanh Hóa Bridge in Vietnam. Bombing tech was better in the 1965-1972 compared to WWII and yet it took the deployment of recently developed laser-guided bombs to really wreck it.

Uncle Ted said it wouldn't. Experts said there would be no QR codes and passports. Uncle Ted said there would be. Experts said the solution was 95% effective. Uncle Ted said it wasn't. Seems to me Uncle Ted has beat the experts 7-0 and I could have looked up more blatant lies or bad information the "experts" provided.
