@monsieurdorgat6864 He did NOT start out saying that Marxism is inherently anti-Semitic. He said that people claimed that Fascism was anti-Semitic and then showed how 1/3 of all Italian Jews were members of the Fascist party, which kind of proved that this wasn't true. The first time that Marxism was mentioned was to say that Fascist Italy wasn't as deadly towards its own people like the Nazis in Germany were OR the Marxists in the Soviet Union. To their own people, NOT Jews. Socialism definition: "a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole." This is from the online dictionary and it's defining socialism TODAY not some socially constructed evolution of the word. "owned or regulated by the community as a whole." That indicates that it's NOT owned or regulated through capitalist or market pressures. It's regulated by the state and something that both Mussolini and Hitler both advocated for and were central policies of their regimes. Companies in Nazi Germany had party representatives present within the company to ensure that ALL employees followed Party protocols. A company owner could NOT refuse that party presence. Companies even used the government to procure slave labour and businesses earmarked as essential were closely run and monitored by the Party. No one goes against the Party. The party rules everything, that's something held in common in Fascism, Marxism or the Nazism of Germany. It's an inconvenient truth that socialist sympathizers don't like to admit. They don't want to admit that Fascism is just another form of Socialist ideology. You don't have to take it with a grain of salt. Just fact check what he's saying. If there are erroneous facts, point them out and give references to validate your findings. A lot of people support Fascist ideas and don't know it.

@lunaflamed He has references, for every claim that he makes, that backs up those allegations. Just saying that it's not true and a lie, isn't proof of anything. Look up those references, find information that counters it and THEN let us know what it is that you found. "Liar, liar, pants on fire" isn't much of an academic endeavour and it sure isn't anywhere CLOSE to proving your case.

@VespasianJudea I never once said to believe "everything anyone says on the internet". I said to check references, find out any information that might debunk it and then decide on whether it's true or not. Also, I don't see how believing what you said in your comment will get you hacked. That seems a little weird.

@MegaBanne "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs". So you gets to decide what my needs are? I'll bet it's not me. I'm thinking the this decision is made for me. It's the same as the "from each" rhetoric. What does that mean? If my ability outstrips yours, do I have to use my ability to upgrade your "happiness" What if my ability isn't actual ability but just a willingness to work harder and longer hours. Do you sit and watch me go and then tell the democratic state that I'm doing too well and it has to be evened out? Why would those with ability work longer hours and harder when it has no personal benefit to them. It only benefits those who are lazy. A strong work ethic is a great leveler and can make up for a lot of unrealised potential or ability. Socialism robs from those who have a strong work ethic and who use that ethic to maximise their abilities no matter how low or high those abilities are. It takes the rewards of those abilities from those who are productive and gives it to those who refuse to use their talents at all or just to the minimum. It's why socialism will always be doomed to failure. Socialism can't HELP but being authoritarian. The same with democracy. A Democracy, without a governing set of rights, that are afforded to every citizen.....like the American Constitution, will inevitably lead to an authoritarian regime. It would be 2 wolves and a sheep voting over what's for supper. Socialism always robs us of our freedom. There's no point in designing a better mousetrap because that design doesn't belong to me. It belongs to all who feel that they have the need. It's intellectual theft. If socialism is a "value system", as you have said, that makes it no different than a religion. It's a religion that we must ALL take part in or we become the enemies of the state. My values must be EXACTLY the same as your values and everyone else's. We must all believe the same or socialism.....AGAIN....must fail. You see, a socialist can live and thrive in a capitalist society but a capitalist can NOT be allowed to function in a socialist system. Socialist millionaire Bernie Sanders is proof of that. Socialism has destroyed every nation that it has touched and it will destroy America if given the chance. It's heading down that road, right now.

@MegaBanne I didn't say that you don't value hard work. I'm saying that the system, that you're recommending, encourages those who do NOT value hard work, to do what they really want to do and that's is nothing. They want the hard work that I do and maybe even you, to benefit them. It encourages envy and resentment and discourages those who would normally want to be the best and see some reward for their efforts but all they get is a pat on the head and thanks for what can be taken from them. Also, Karl Marx didn't invent socialism, only his own brand of that ideology. There's been different iterations of it and EVERY one of them has failed. Why? Because it looks for the failures, the victims of the systems and then uses more and more of the over all resources to fill the needs of those who either can't or refuse to fill their own needs. My neighbour was born with enormous physical difficulties. Yet he never let that keep him down. I know who can do a lot more work than what he can in a day the do SQUAT, yet my neighbour worked everyday at a supermarket doing odd jobs that needed to be done. One arm was shorter than the other, his hand was all twisted and nearly useless except as a stabilizer. He had a severe limp that he was born with and his parents were told, when he was born, that he'd be better off in a home, that he'd never be able to look after himself. Yet, I'd see him when I went shopping struggling with the shopping carts, never complaining, or trying to sweep up the mess on aisle 3 even though it was really difficult to hold a broom. Yet, this guy REFUSED handouts. He had children, bought a home and refused to allow himself to be treated as a victim. To me, he's one of the toughest guys that I've ever known. Yet, there are fully grown men, who couldn't hold down a job to save their lives. They're always looking for ways to beat the system and there are more and more of them everyday because the system tells them that they can't get ahead because of bigotry, or unfairness or high prices or something. They rob from all of us who value hard work, even from handicapped men, like my neighbour who has a REAL work ethic, to placate their own lack of motivation or ambition. This is why socialism doesn't work. It rewards those with little to no integrity. It robs from those who do and gives to those who don't. It's a recipe for failure and will only result in more and more people giving up and trying to find the same loopholes so they can do little or nothing as well. It's a race to the bottom.

@MegaBanne "There will be no need for hard work. Just the necessary work." That's the most ridiculous thing that I've ever heard. If I have a natural ability to play hockey, just showing up to play won't make me among the best in the world. I have to work my butt off, exercise, watch my weight, develop skills...the harder I work at it, the more likely I will attain my dreams. Musicians are the same. They play that guitar, violin or piano at every opportunity possible. They study and play, play and study. If they don't work hard at it, they'll never excel at it. That goes the same for being a carpenter, shoe maker, engineer or doctor. Hard work drives success. Getting by on what one deems necessary won't get you anywhere. There's a reason why Asians have the highest household incomes in America. It's the LACK of laziness. They work long, hard hours and will NOT compromise with "doing only what's necessary". That clip I outlined is the most profound statement of a commitment to mediocrity. YOU are living in a dreamland. Then you say "Everyone will have to do their basic work." So the overlord will tell what to do and when to do it. It's not up to the individual. it's up to whatever vague figure or body of people decides what their basic work should be. More dreamland stuff. It all sounds really great yet it's the capitalist west that has spawned the richest nations in world history. It's produced affluence for the average person that has NEVER been seen before. The only ones who fail are those who won't get off their butts, put down the video game controller and cell phone and go to work. They're living off the avails of those of us work 50 to 60 work weeks and then complain that they don't have enough. Once again, you're living in a dreamland. Show me ONE nation that has a socialist style governance that has ever the affluence that these capitalist nations have. They don't exist. Capitalism is the freedom to make your own life. It's up to the individual. It's the "spread the wealth" types that destroy the initiative and the pride of a hard days work and the feeling of achievement that goes with it. There's no such thing as "doing what's necessary". That's just spinning your wheels and eventually you give up because you're going nowhere.

@illegalewahrheiten2911 I got a lot of my initial information from parents, relatives and people who fought in that war, including those who were German soldiers. My parents grew up in Holland and moved to Canada in the early fifties. I worked with men who were in the Canadian, British, Polish, Czech and German military. What I've heard from them was corroborated by history books and other material. Yes.....Hitler was bad. He invaded the Netherlands, even though the Netherlands declared neutrality. They went door to door, stealing food and metal for the war effort. My mother and siblings nearly starved to death because my grandfather had become an invalid and had to be institutionalised. Don't tell me that Hitler was a good guy. He plunged Europe into the worst war in history. Good people don't do that.
