  1. Reading these replies is like reading about late 19th to early 20th century French politics.

  3.  @willemvanstaden3292  Why not? You evidently don't like Marx very much, so why not read his works and make counterarguments to them? Why not try to understand why communism is so appealing to so man people? Why would you not try to stop this?

  4. Mussolini came close to being excommunicated according to Denis Mack Smith and Hitler was not a Catholic at all. Hitler and the Nazi party promoted "Positive Christianity", a movement which rejected most traditional Christian doctrines such as the divinity of Jesus, as well as Jewish elements such as the Old Testament.

  7.  @willemvanstaden3292  But I'd rather not even get to the point where we have to go to war. There is a reason why Hayek wrote Road to Serfdom: because it can be stopped, at any time.

  14. Well I'm a libertarian, but that seems a bit inflated.

  16.  @alexkarlsson3274  But do you know what is profitable? Using revolutionary new vehicles like the tuck to deliver food at a more efficient rate than trains so you can lower the cost of food and make more money.
    2
  17.  @alexkarlsson3274  The fact that lorries are more efficient than trains and therefore more profitable than trains has something to do with capitalism. Oh yeah, there are a shortage of truckers right now, £15 an hour many lorry drivers are getting.

  19. Fair enough, states commonly called communist aren't really communist. The creation of their governments is, however, rooted in the goal that at some point, they will achieve communism. People have been impoverished since the beginning of multi-cellular life, and according to https://ourworldindata.org/a-history-of-global-living-conditions-in-5-charts poverty has actually decreased at a more rapid pace since 1990.

  21.  @isaklindelov7566  "by hindering human capital accumulation income inequality undermines education opportunities for disadvantaged individuals, lowering social mobility and hampering skills development." I think we can agree on this one.

  30. > f**k you if you happen to point out that similar countries like India modernized decades after China Probably because they were heavily influenced by socialist principles. It said so in their preamble: WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens

  39.  @upulor744  I suppose you could get that conclusion if you ignored Hitler's Table Talk.

  40.  @upulor744  Citation needed.

  41.  @upulor744  Which quote?
    1
  42.  @upulor744  The German Christians, you mean the heathens that got rid of the Old Testament? Furthermore, if Hitler was a Catholic, why did he think that the clergy apparently took a sly pleasure in rallying the enemies of the established order (such as the Popes being a nuisance toward Holy Roman Emperors) that communism had been too close to success in predominately Catholic countries and therefore Catholicism was bad and that Catholicism was out of date according to his Table Talk on the 9th of November 1941?

  43.  @upulor744  So he was just using religion for propaganda purposes and in reality was a heretic as bad as Arius.

  44.  @upulor744  There is nothing in the bible saying that evolution and gravity aren't things. If God created the universe, then by studying the Universe, it is the best way we can study God.

  45.  @upulor744  I would say getting rid of the Old Testament is a heresy of the highest kind.

  46.  @upulor744  I'll just say the Old Testament is a very important part of the Bible.

  51. >What sources do you have for the death toll of communism? if it is "the black book of communism" then you should know that all the co-authors of that book has disowned it because the statistics are vastly overstated. 1:48 look to the bottom right

  52.  @MrStarc2  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Big_Book_of_Horrible_Things here is the wikipedia article which contains the death tolls. Secondary sources aren't too terrible, especially when peer reviewed.

  56. Didn't the civil war end in 1939 though?

  57.  @swfcocs1  Ah, that's what you meant. France wasn't in the mood for a war after losing millions during WW1, nor was Tory Britain, but stranger things has happened in history. If you change that underlying factor, you would probably see France also invade Germany for remilitarising the Rhineland.

  63.  @alexkarlsson3274  That may be true today, but lorries were so much of a threat to trains that Congress at the will of big train companies passed the Motor Carrier Act of 1935, and the subsequent powers given to the ICC regulated lorries serious competition.

  67. Frank Dikotter, a historian who specialises in modern China, estimates the deaths to be at least 45 million.

  68.  @johnb5254  The figure *comes from the book "Mao's Great Famine". He attributes the deaths to the decisions made by top officials from the Chinese government in Beijing.

  70.  @johnb5254  Do you have anything else to say about a history book about modern China written by an actual historian specialising in modern China using government records other than it is propaganda?

  72.  @isaklindelov7566  I agree. That being said, I do still think that individuals should be able to start their own businesses that they own themselves.
    1
  73.  @isaklindelov7566  Why would anyone start a business if they knew their reward was going to be debt?
    1
  74.  @isaklindelov7566  So you are saying the enterprise is in debt to the founder?
    1
  75.  @isaklindelov7566  Why would a person ever start the business in the first place if they knew they would lose control of due to some debt system?
    1
  76.  @isaklindelov7566  Still though. I start a business with a high chance of it failing, I would quite like to keep control of it indefinitely.

  77.  @isaklindelov7566  Owning a business and "owning" people are not morally comparable.
    1
  78. Nor even economically comparable given how much more well off the north was (edit: and still is) compared to the south.

  79.  @isaklindelov7566  Robbing is taking property from a person or through force or threat of force, in other words taking property against a person's will. They all willingly agreed to work for me as long as I paid them. If I didn't pay them, they would rightfully quit or rightfully pull a Mini Killdozer on me.

  80.  @isaklindelov7566  what does that have to do with peanut production in the Upper Volta?

  81.  @isaklindelov7566  "What does that got to do with the..." is a common retort to an irrelevant statement, but you do explain how it is relevant in the last comment. Firstly, those dams are to produce hydroelectricity, which would produce more electricity than Ethiopia needed and could also be sold to neighbours including Egypt. Secondly, how do you determine value? Why is it that diamonds are more expensive than water, but water is required to sustain life?

  84.  @CollinM24  I don't know what the Green Party are like in the states but over here they are a load of pinkos. And did he claim this was being used to subvert western culture (for the purpose of introducing global communism so da juice can intercourse with the Germans, dilute the blood and cause the downfall of civilisation)?
