  3.  @criticalthinker8007  Read "The Communist Manifesto" please. Communism is a political system that advocates that property and resources are owned by 'the STATE', not your community.

  4.  @EdoardoB-xz1jp  Just my 2 cents: 1. Fascists are also socialists, but with flavor of nationalism inside and outside. Stalinists are socialists, with internationalism outside and nationalism inside. Here we go. 2. Even a stopped clock will tell the true time twice a day. So a rational person will process any information without ad hominem concerns.

  5.  @EdoardoB-xz1jp  Please read Lassal and Bismarck's "state socialism" (German: Staatssozialismus). What your narrative labels as "state-run capitalism" has nothing to do with Adam Smith's free market capitalism. It IS state socialism all the way. German fascism is the combo of Staatssozialismus/State Socialism + Nationalism, as I said in the previous comment.

  6.  @EdoardoB-xz1jp  In Staatssozialismus/State Socialism, the State owns a significant portion of the so-called "private" sector. For example, in Nazi Germany, the partisan State makes decisions in What,When,Where,Who of social productions, and the private sector only makes decisions in How, because How is the only part for technical details. (I assume that u know what 5W means in manufacturing processes) In Marx-Lenin-Stalin-Mao socialism, the State also manages the How part, i.e., all 5W. In free market capitalism, everybody just follows laws to make all 5W decisions, and the Invisible Hand of the probabilistic market determines the result.

  8.  @EdoardoB-xz1jp  For an example, you should have a look at MG machine gun's production. The Nazi State decided What,When,Where and Who of the production, of course, via a Nazi State enforced procedure. The Nazi State only left the How part to the "private" sector, i.e., Werner Gruner, Großfuß, Mauser etc. This is also the mode of operation for nowadays US military industry. Yes, I am saying that US military industry is not free-market capitalism, but a vivid example of state socialism. I think this is just common sense regardless of ur opinion.

  9. For those Soviet lovers who deny the significance of Lend-Lease, without Lend-Lease, Soviet would be defeated after repeating Rezhev-Vyazima meatgrinder campaign for a few times. FYI, in January 1942's Rezhev-Vyazima battles, Lend-lease aids hadn't arrived yet to Soviet, there was no American trucks. Thus Zhukov's soldiers had to carry light weapons by manual labor only, then were mowed down by German MG machine guns batch by batch. Zhukov lost to General Model in January 1942, and would keep on losing unless lend-lease arrived in time.

  10. I think Thomas Sowell's Conflict of Visions did a better job than the video. In my opinion, Sowell's "Unconstrained Vision" roughly refers to the left, and "Constrained Vision" the right. People with Unconstrained Vision: Ultimately they believe that man is morally perfectible. Because of this, they believe that there exists some people who are further along the path of moral development, have overcome self-interest and are immune to the influence of power and therefore can act as surrogate decision-makers for the rest of society. The keyword is "surrogate", which is the center piece of all schemes crafted by the left. Nowadays the "surrogate" is normally the socialist government. Based on Sowell's notion, Rudyard Lynch (@Whatifalthist) has a list to compare Left with Right: The Left: 1. Humans are perfectible. 2. Good people in power can save the world. 3. The future is all progress. 4. The only real things are materially what you see. 5. Inequality (mainly) comes from oppression. 6. Everyone is a blank slate which are socialized. 7. Cultural differences are arbitrary and can easily be transcended. 8. Tradition holds us back. 9. It's wrong to judge someone by their results. 10. You have loyalty to all humanity, not your people. The Right: 1. Humans are inherently flawed. 2. Power corrupts. 3. It's possible to degrade back into barbarism. 4. There is a God. 5. Inequality is normal. 6. Races, classes and the sexes are genetically different. 7. Cultural differences are important. 8. Tradition is valuable even if we don't understand why. 9. You can assess things by competency. 10. You have loyalty to your group over others. You can match a Leftist with something in the list of "The Left". For example, let the government take over the education, this matches #2 in the list of "The Left".

  24. There is a close tie between Catholicism and Communism. Extra ecclesiam nulla salus. Extra communist party nulla salus. If you know what the former phrase means, then you should know what the latter phrase means. Also refer to Thomas Sowell's "Unconstrained Vision" to see the connection between these two ideologies. American population has had a significant change since 1990 (the end of the cold war). This has a major impact on American ideological reality and American politics.

  30.  @criticalthinker8007  Read Robert Michels's "Iron Law of Oligarchy" and Adolf Gasser's refutation. Any top-down approach in politics will eventually result in Michels's Iron Law. The only possible exit is Gasser's bottom-up approach. So, the most fundamental classification of politics is top-downer vs. bottom-upper. All top-downers are doomed to reach oligarchy, and most of them eventually reach dictatorship. It's possible that bottom-uppers would avoid oligarchy and dictatorship. But there is no guarantee. You are free to make your own choice. I am a bottom-upper by all means.

  31. In regard to DOMESTIC policy, Hitler/Nazi is far left. In regard to FOREIGN policy, Hitler/Nazi is far right. Therefore, whether Hitler/Nazi is far left or far right? It depends on the context, DOMESTIC or FOREIGN.

  33. I vouch for electrofuel generated from CO2, water, catalyst and all types of renewable energy sources. Electrofuel is fully recyclable, forever renewable, carbon neutral, zero toxic and having comparable volumetric energy density with fossil fuel.

  35.  @spencercabana6082  Your didn't get high score in logic class, did you? Trump is NOT a socialist like Stalin or Hitler. Obama is. AOC is. Trump is a modern version of Henry Ford. He acts like an emperor in his own corporation, but he is against big government that socialists are vouching for.

  37. We do need a government, but not a bureaucratic government led by a centralized legal person (political party) or a person (strong man). What we must need is a social consensus procedure/protocol to furnish any necessary social contracts. The so-called "government" is the toolkit to accomplish the social contracts by enforcing the social consensus procedure/protocol. In a nutshell, government is a tool, not the goal. The fundamental stupidity of the leftism is always regarding government as their goal, so that the leftists can enforce their utopian concepts upon us and deny our own free wills. The center piece of leftism is always the external salvation (Extra some-left-shit Nulla Salus) disguised as altruism. A leftist is essentially a denier of self-salvation no matter what he/she says orally. IMHO, modern leftism is the direct successor/heir of medieval Catholicism, and we are still in a struggle of a modern variant of the Thirty Years' War. The key piece of the struggle is not really about a religion or political power as interpreted by mainstream historians, but about the fundamental choice between Extra-SomePerson-Nulla-Salus and Self-Salvation. Choosing the former, you are a leftist; Choosing the latter, you are not. Government so far is always an EXTERNAL and MANNED (bureaucratic) entity on top of we the citizens (social contractors). Nevertheless, I think this is merely a historical fact; I don't think this is an objective truth. Why? Because RIGHT NOW WE KNOW that an UNMANNED regulation can accomplish any social contracts by enforcing BLOCKCHAIN-BASED social consensus procedure/protocol. It is called DeFi (Decentralized Finance), a realistic Blockchain-based design now. I don't see any technical barrier of DePo (Decentralized Politics), aka. Blockchain-based Government, because political activities and financial activities are essentially the same thing, that is, (socially-)consensused transactions. Let me call this Blockchain-based UNMANNED government as Nakamoto Government. My point is that, we only need this UNMANNED Nakamoto Government, NOT the legacy MANNED governments. As to Trump and Musk's DOGE efforts, I respect their endeavor and fighting spirit against the legacy manned governments. But I personally don't think they will succeed. Even if we suppose they can reduce the federal government by half (which is very unlikely) at the end of Trump administration (year 2028), I can predict that the federal government will grow back to its current size (2024 size) within a decade or two. The MANNED DOGE effort will eventually fail in any long run. And the only solution to the DOGE problem is an UNMANNED government, such as a Nakamoto Government I abovementioned.

  38.  @kathleenking47  Since Reagan became president and John Wayne died. When they were active Hollywood actors, Reagan and Wayne crushed the socialists like Trumbo. After Reagan left Hollywood and Wayne died around year 1980, the Pandora's box in Hollywood was released.

  39. Youtube keeps censoring my reply to @tefky7964, so I have to post a separated comment here. @tefky7964 33 minutes ago @AkiraNakamoto No? Communism is by definition stateless, moneyless, classless society, the USSR wasn´t that. They are called communists, because they want to achieve that goal, but they never claimed that they actually achieved it. @AkiraNakamoto 15 minutes ago Again, read "The Communist Manifesto", in particular the part of its REALISTIC proposals, and stop accumulating meaningless adjectives for the unicorn utopias. Literal quote from "The Communist Manifesto": 1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes. 2. 3. 4. 5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly. 6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State. 7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.

  41. The ultimate fallacy of communists is trying to be omnipotent.
