  4.  @sedargames8161  '19th century empires were capitalist empires and produced a socialist opposition' WW1 was about a nationalist opposition to imperialism, not socialist. So much so that several states were carved out of former empires because that's what their people wanted. No one cared about internationalism, most people supported the war

  7.  @San_Vito  That's because lacking the overall strength, they were forced into going for tactical force-multipliers. Countries winning wars don't design tanks like the Tiger

  14. 'social value' in practice basically amounts to telling other people what they can do

  15.  @0witw047  ??? The fact that it could cost you money if you're unlucky must surely mean that if you are lucky you should get a profit. Or why would people lend money at all?

  16. '1. If value is tied to scarcity, then where is the value in motherhood? Exactly. Nothing. ' Are you high? A child of your own is the most valuable and least abundant thing I can think of

  17.  @TheImperatorKnight  Their primary motive is to prevent other people discovering that he was a man of the Left - but you've done great work bringing that to light TIK

  27.  @zxbzxbzxb1  Everything is relative. Compared to everyone she has run against, she is. EDIT , to clarify I mean in the final head to head (I know who Bernie Sanders is!)

  28.  @zxbzxbzxb1  Well he was right-wing by Soviet standards. In fact, the Soviet premiers became more and more right-wing, until it all collapsed. I wonder why?

  31. People who DON'T recognise a bias are the biased ones - not the reverse

  32. Not a fan of Bewegunskrieg then?

  33. Same. It's next to pointless to try to explain liberal economics to anyone with a sub 100 IQ - too much abstraction
    1
  34. I'll explain. Most union members are in the feather bedded public sector and have a strangle-hold on industries which are either strategic or have low competition for other reasons (e.g. railways). Low competition drives up prices. Wages are a price.

  40.  @TheImperatorKnight  Carl has built a great team at the Lotus eaters - they're doing for journalism what you're doing for history. Why does anyone have a TV License now?

  41. Yes and Hitler was a racist socialist. Jefferson Davis was a racist capitalist It's not that difficult to understand mate

  42. Hitler didn't think that. He wanted to strike South for the resources of Ukraine and the Caucasus

  43. They did - had they the proper equipment and tanks they may well have held

  44. So all you need to do to be beyond reproach is to say you're talking from your 'own perspective' Can't you see the problem with that?

  45. 'but because most of the people for most of the topics are simple unable to process ANY substantive arguments.' Most is a stretch IMO, but certainly it's a significant minority

  46. In a sense the US is socialist, you're quite right. Look at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

  49. Agreed. 'He who defends everything defends nothing' Frederick in Prussia The same goes for attacking, I surmise. I wouldn't class 'Alter Fritz' as a coward. Bonaparte did not
