@ashyari1989 The simple truth is the 100 million deaths attributed to communism is a falsification of historic fact. That figure comes from the Black Book of Communism, and the authors would go on to admit to the falsifications and that they were forced to scew the numbers of deaths by the publisher to reach the 100 million number. Even then, if you took the false information as fact, using thier same algorithms in how millions of the deaths they attributed to communism that were caused by disease, natural famine, and foreign invasions, the capitalist experiment in India alone left over 100 million deaths just between 1948-1979, and a further 35 million under British colonial rule, now add in the right wing dictatorships installed by capitalist powers all across the developing world, the massacres and genocides they committed to maintain thier power, imperialist wars wrought to enrich western entities from Monsanto and United Fruit to the East India company. 20 million deaths to WW1, given that capitalism was the direct cause of the rise of national socialism in germany and fascism in Italy, we can add the 75 million deaths caused by that, then we can talk about the13 million slaves sold to the new world and the generations of thier children that were born into and died in bondage for the sake of profit, 10 million more in the Congo, Spain genocided 130 million in the americas for gold and glory, and the US 12 million more for manifest destiny, communism's hands may be bloody by it doesnt compare to the ocean of blood that's been wrought for the sake of capitalism. Your argument completely ignores this historical context, yet boo hoo for a few grain hoarding kulaks and nazis that got sent to gulag.

@matthew1882 Ahh, and when you refer to Ireland as the first of the first world, your referring to the small impoverished island that was forcibly colonized by english capitalist, ran us off from our homes, sold us into bondage for profit, stole our land to sell to rich lords, and occupied my nation for 800 years. So let's get "first of the first world" fuggin cleared up right now, My nations history is nothing if not a lesson of what capitalism does to those being exploited, and if it wasnt for communists like James Connoly who died for our independence, we would still be a British dominion today, so take you pre conceived assumptions and do blow them out your arse, and have a nice day, I have to go to work.

@matthew1882 Screaming profanity? You take yourself far too seriously, Everything was calmly typed while I was having a chuckle, I didn't start this little debate of yours, that was your initiative, and I'm not trying to honestly and thoroughly argue my points with you because I have already seen others try just to see that your a condescending hypocrite with a clear bias to a false narrative. I have used such insults because clearly I was never interested in a conversation with you because I have nothing to gain from it, so please, dont whine, because you asked for all that was recieved, if you feel otherwise, need not reply, click the thumbs down and move on with your life.

@scorpiontdalpha9799 that was more capitalisms fault that solely Batista, he was a tool corrupted by Meyer Lansky's money because Batista couldnt keep the casinos honest and it was costing Havana alot of revenue, when Batista first took power via coup he was a populists that the cuban people largely supported because he the Machado regime, and got rid of americas right to militarily intervene in Cuba. American companies had already spent decades tuning Cuba in to a monoculture as to have a cheap sugar colony to exploit, and the post WW1 slump in the market sealed Cubas fate as a land that would remain a paradise for the tourist coming from miami and a living hell of poverty and suffering for the working class, and as Batista was further corrupted from the payoffs he was receiving from america companies like United Fruit, the he would grow to care less and less about his responsibilities to the people, upon his 1952 coup he no longer held the popular support of the people, and the US as Americans already owned 70% of the arable land in the nation, to protect these holdings, and receive further payoffs from the americans, he suspended the constitution, revoked most political liberties, banned the right to strike, outlawed the communist party, and set up the Bureau for the repression of communist activities, a secret police apparatus responsible for the deaths and disappearances of 20,000 people. His repressive government then began to systematically profit from the exploitation of Cuba's commercial interest, by negotiating lucrative relations with both the American mafia, who controlled the drug, gambling, and prostitution buisness in Cuba, and th US companies that were paying large sums of money to quell the growing discontent of the populace. Since the Spanish first arrived looking for gold and slaves to exploit, capitalism was never a good thing for the cuban people.

@trollmastermike52845 The most important invention in the communist system is their social care. Every citizen of the country must have food on the table. Any citizen must have health care. Even Cuba the most poor communist country is organized that food and healthcare is available to everybody in their country. This system is taken over by Europe/EU and also by the UK and the commonwealth and the reason why they have universal healthcare, and everybody has food on the table. Of course this kind of “communist” social care is Taboo in the USA and the reason we see people dying, because they could not afford medical services or are eating in feedlots organized by social nonprofit organizations.
The first satalite was launced by the Soviets, a concept that all modern means of telecomunication is based on.
Leonid Kuprianovitch developed the first mobile phone, an invention we take for granted on a daily basis. Mikhail Kartsev developed the first computer in 1967,
They developed the first known vacine for anthrax, the cardiopulmanary bypass, the heart pump, cadaveric blood transfusion, the Ilizarov apparatus.
The Laser was develped by the soviets, Pokhorov in particular.
Innovation continued under communism, to say otherwise is either a gross lack of understanding of innovation under communism, the things these innovations inspired, and how we take them for granted every day, or it's just an outright lie on your part.

@kurousagi8155 Tell yourself that and good luck trying that theory of yours out, could the us win eventually, yes but it would be pyrrhic at the international level because it would require leveling the entire island and genociding most of the population through extended bombing campaigns that will likely only enrage the entire region making it more difficult to maintain your blockade, 5he cuban people would resist foreign agression with everything they have down to machetes, they have before, ask the Spanish, and enduring such losses in the face of open imperialist aggression and genocide would spark international int er invention from cubas allies, as well as the UN, they're already against the blockade, I dont advise pushing that envelope, At the end of the day, the US gets literally nothing good out of invading Cuba, nor do the Cuban people, you can disagree with the socialist government in Cuba if this is where the whole invade Cuba thing is coming from, but at least the government in power is stable and run by a democratic body with alot of oversight, we've seen what US invasions and interventions have accomplished in Iraq, in Syria, in Lybia, in Sudan, so please, no one wants to see the Cuban version of ISIS, America justsneeds to take a break from invading places,it hasnt been good at it for 70 years and it's only getting worse every time, at some point you have to stop blaming every other country for Americas failures.

@pepperedash4424 "If dozens of nations have all tried and failed to emulate something, than that means its unobtainable" was the excuse of the royal families of the Brithish, Spanish, Portuguese, and Austro-Hungarian empires amongst others against democratic rule for centuries, they used that excuse while spending vast sums of money and millions of lives to control the spread of these liberal progressive ideals just as the western "democracies" have spent trillions of dollars and millions of lives to strangle socialism in its crib since its inception in 1917, If socialism is so unobtainable, why was it never once left to fail of it's own accord? Why has it always required direct western intervention in the form of military occupations, the financing of terrorist groups inside socialist nations, illegal blockades and hostile sanctions, forming Coup d'état's and installing right wing authoritarian regimes that were 10x bloodier and more brutal than the communist they replaced (ask Pinochet, or the Taliban), if communism was unobtainable, and China is set to fail, then none of this would have been necessary for the survival of western capitalism and so its responsible for the most colossal waste of lives and resources es in human history, or, just maybe, your mistaken, and communism has not been achieved because every time it was attempted the west immediately tried to strangle it in the crib before it became a threat to western imperialists hegemony and that true communism can only come to fruition after the complete dismantling of the capitalist system as theorized by Marx and Engels as capitalist will always be able to sow divide amongst the populace so long as they can agitate and exploit the existing class antagonisms. History has provided us both with different lessons based upon different perspectives, and it will be up to history to prove which one of us is correct. Until then, and with respect, we'll have to agree to disagree.

@myms7375 The USSR was founded in February of 1917, during WW1, the Russian people that founded the USSR had fought through the war for 2 and a half years by that point, and it was the USSR that signed the treaty of Brest-Litovsk ending the war with the German and Austro-Hungarian empires, not the Tsar or Imperial family, From Feb. 1917- Mar. 1918 the USSR was at war against the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Ottoman Empire, just because Russia changed its name and became more progressive and democratic doesnt mean that it wasnt still a belligerent in the conflict, nor does it change the fact that Russia had still just lost millions of lives, suffered multiple crop failures, and had its industry and economy wrecked before the civil war even broke out, which lasted years longer and further devastated an already crippled nation. Your arguement there is like saying that the Weimar Republic was in no way involved or affected by the loss of german lives in WW1 or the sanctions on germany by the Treaty of Versailles.

@myms7375 Ok, so your previous comment about the USSR not fighting in WW1 was incorrect, you know you could have just said that and saved the semantics. The USSR was in the war and would feel the full consequences of the Tsar's blissful ignorance, I feel like your "germany was fighting a losing battle" is trying to mitigate german capabilities in 1917, while the soviets had no choice but to sign the treaty because there was nothing stopping the german army from marching over from finland and up from silesia to take Petrograd which along with the civil war, the western intervention and wars with Finland, Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, soviet production and rebuilding was handicapped in manpower, funding, and strategic reserves for the first 15 years of its existence, yet in that 15 years they managed such economic and industrial progress that took the west two centuries to achieve, that's hard to belittle, and doing so is kind of a dick move, just admit you were wrong and have some respect for yourself, it's not the end of the world.

@myms7375 Operation Faustschlag February of 1918, Germany and Austria Hungary invade the USSR with 53 divisions, the battle of passchendaele was by no means the final nail in the coffin for germany at the time and no one on any side would have agreed with that theory, your thinking of the ludendorff offensive of 1918 and the kaiserschlact that broke the back of the german army, and even then they still could have fallen back, reorganized and continued the defence for another year, the final nails in the coffin for the German empire were socialist revolutions in Berlin and Bavaria that scared the politician into making peace unexpectedly. In 1918 the peace came as a shock as Rollins, Currie, Petan, and Pershing were planning for the 1919 spring offensive, but now we have gotten far off topic, your argument there, "the USSR was only involved in WW2" is an outright falsification of historical fact. The USSR was absolutely involved in WW1, as well as 5 other conflicts before WW2 even kicked off, so why lie when said lies can be so easily disproven? Why is this so personal to you?
