  6.  @wf4919  I want to point out that "Capitalism" is not an American ideology. There are no "founders" in Capitalism. What you are talking about is Laissez-faire Capitalism. Most "Capitalists" nations are running on a system with a mixed economy. Not pure Capitalism and not pure Socialism. Paying taxes is not the same as being controlled by the state. Having to follow regulations is not being controlled by the state. If you and me live by a lake and I start dumping my sewages into that lake, you are not going to go "well it is a free country so I just have to deal with his sewage". We have to follow laws so we all know what we can or can't do. We pay taxes so we can fund public work that is in the interest of everyone, or fund things to expensive for a few individuals alone. Like public roads and military security. Income tax is not inherently anti-freedom. It is built on the idea that a part of your income should be sent to the state so they can use it to fund goals everyone need or want. Property tax is harder to explain but that doesn't disprove the point that tax by itself is not anti-freedom. The problem I think TIK have is that he thinks "Going public" as in allowing the community as a whole to share the ownership of a corporation is the same as state ownership. That is just incorrect as corporations do not need to go public, and when shareholders buy shares they do not create a state. If I have a corporation and open it up for shareholders and you buy some shares in that corporation. That does not you and me are now in a state together. We might have a connection with each other as you own part of what is my corporation, but that does not mean we have created a government with each other.

  19.  @mwbright  You are talking BS. You are also having some serious misconception. 1. You forget that it was France that was the biggest problem in Europe at the time. France had the biggest army in the world. Germany only won because they took a massive gamble and it worked. 2. The USSR was NOT a super power and no one considered it a super power. The USSR was a complete mess after the civil war and had not recovered. The whole reason they signed the Molotov–Ribbentrop pact was because the USSR needed time to gear up for the war, which they had not done when Germany invaded. Which is why Stalin broke down. The initial Allied reaction to the USSR invasion was "Damn. I guess the USSR is gone now". No one expected the USSR to stand up against the Germans. 3. Hitler didn't go to war against everyone at the same time. The UK was only a super power because colonies and those can be blocked through blockades. The goal was also to peace out with the UK after giving them a beating. The USA didn't enter the war until 11 december 1941, and that was because Japan started that war. WW2 started in 1939 btw. So saying Hitler started that war is incorrect. Hitler invaded the USSR in June 22, 1941. The reason for it was because the UK didn't peace out after getting their arse handed to them in France, and Germany needed resources. There also wasn't really anywhere else to go. You either fought a war over the UK and allowed your resources to be drained, or you looked for resources elsewhere. 4. You are making the assumption that the German Generals where always compitent and everything they wanted was just interfeared with because of Hitler. That is incorrect. Many Generals made poor and bad decisions that cost them the war. Want me to give you an example? Look at Romel and Operation Crusader. The battle was so bad for the British that the British lost the battle they started without Romel even knowing it was a real battle. The only reason Romel lost was because Romel decided to take his armor and ride into the sunset leaving the whole army without a command structure as he got stuck behind enemy lines. Is that a compitent move according to you? If Romel did that, what do you think the other generals did? Halder in operation barbarossa changed the whole battle plan and went against direct orders. He wanted to win by taking Moscow and hoping the USSR just surrenders after that, just like the Frence did. However that was never going to happen. You have so many misconceptions are are outright wrong so many times. You don't even know why and when people entered the war. You are also acting as if you are incompetent when you can unite a whole nation and take over most of a continent Europeans have fought literally CENTURIES to attempt to do. Do you have no idea how much of a big deal it is to actually take over Europe? You must be American or something if you think that isn't a big deal.

  27. Incorrect. You are skipping a step. The word "Fascism" does not derived from the Latin word "Fasces". It is derived from the Italian word "Fascio" meaning "a bundle of sticks". Fasico is in turn derived from the Latin word Fasces that means "bundle". You can't skip a step and make a point about that when that wasn't the word Benito used. The "bundle of sticks" concept is the classic: "A single stick can be easily broken. But a bunch of sticks together can not be broken easily". This concept is a fundamental principle of socialism. It emphasis teamwork, cooperation and everyone doing their part to withstand hardship and achieving a shared goal. I think you are also forgetting Benito said about Fascism. "Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state" - Benito Mussolini He wanted the state to be connected in everything. In the doctrine of fascism he said he wanted people to treat service to their state like their religion. You did your duty to state without question, and you did it every day without complaining. You go to church you do your religious duty. You go do what the state wants you and you do your civic duty. Also. That link you gave is nothing but nonsense and full of shit. From the very start it creates strawmen of Fascism and Socialism. Like defining that Fascism is always authoritarian and Socialism is not and can not be authoritarian. It define Socialism as system where there is no social division as if Fascism can not do the very same thing. Fact is. Pretty much ANY socialist country in the world is authoritarian. And before you point to Scandinavia I want to say I am Swedish and Scandinavia are not Socialistic. Scandinavia are Social Democratic Capitalistic nations. We lean more toward Socialism the for example the USA, but that does not make us Socialistic. Scandinavia is about as Socialistic as Canadians and Mexians are Americans. Kind of alike, but there is a clear separation between them. They also define Socialism as Communism. Just read the definition. It is so naive it is insane. It will remove all differences between classes so everything will be own by everyone? Fact is that in reality everything isn't worth the same. Cleaning the toilets is not worth the same as the efforts it takes to become a heart surgeon. Lets go through the points: 1. Loaded answer and dishonest. This writer have a clear bias toward socialism. Fact is that the writer ignores leaders like Stalin, Lenin, Mao Zedong and Fidel Castro. I guess this is only about making Fascism stand in a bad light while ignoring the skeleton everywhere else for the "socialism" side. Also. China today is authoritarian. North Korea is authoritarian. USSR was authoritarian. Vietnam today is authoritarian. 2. This is not even true. What the hell does "where state or public ownership of means of production can be seen" even mean? It does not point out what Fascism or Socialism stand for. Fact is. Both Fascism and Socialism say "the means of production belong to the state". There is no difference here. Just a mangled mess to avoid actually answering the question. 3. ..... Right. So the means of production belongs to the public, but I as part of the public can't take my share and cash it out right? No. In Socialism the means of production will still belong to minority of the society which was the wealthy few. Because in Socialism everyone are equal, but some are more equal then others and deserves different treatment. This is how reality looks like. This argument ignores reality and lives in a idealistic world outside of pragmatic facts. The only thing shown here is that fascism unlike socialism are just honest in the outcome. 4. This might actually be correct. However. This shows that this writer is not honest about what Socialism is. Class Conflict is not a concept within Socialism. This is taken from Karl Marx himself. Class Conflict is central to Communism and not Socialism. I believe this writer is making a "difference between Fascism and Communism". 5. Now I know this is about Communism and not Socialism. It also show the writer is subjective about what to bring up from both sides. Are we going to ignore the fact Hitler tried to reform Christianity into "Positive Christianity"? Both Fascism and Communism were opposed to organized religions for the same reason. They offered a separate power structure that took people out of the control of state. Fascism just made Christianity bow to it and step in line. 6. WTF! What even is this? The writer clearly got bored here and just wanted to finish up this strawman of a comparison. Opposite in what way? What does relationship even means? 7. Wow. I am surprised. In a list about differences between Fascism and Communism. They bring up something both share in common. A one party systems. Why even bring something both share in common when you are supposed to show the differences? Bloody nonsense. However. This show one interesting thing. Since Fascism is defined as authoritarian while Socialism is defined "control by the people". How exactly does "the people" control the "public" means of production when there is only one party that controls everything. Doesn't that mean that the "leader" or "leaders" have all power so "they" can say who gets what? No. This is authoritarianism on both sides. The author thinks that when "Socialism" has been complete, the one party system will not be needed anymore. But that will never happen. It does not work in reality because the world is not equal and some people have to work harder then others. There is only one place where everyone is equal and that is at the bottom. This is why you will never have a one party system going away because they will never lower themselves to the bottom when they hold all power in society. They will become dictators and rule through authoritarianism. So. This point is correct. Both sides are authoritarian.

  30. ​ @enysuntra1347  First of all. There is such a thing as a Semites as it isn't a fictitious group of people. It is an ethnicity. A loose collection of people. We can trace this ethnicity with DNA. You very much failed in your explenation is and isn't irrational. You can be an atheist and disagree with both Christianity and Judaism for irrational and rational reasons. You have not actually explained why Anti-Semitism is irrational. It is not actually discrimination to demand people to work on on saturday or friday after sundown. If that is the contract the employees agreed to, they can not then claim it is discrimination and refuse to do what they agreed to do. They are in fact not actually entitled to the job and they do not actually forced to agree to the contract. It should be discrimination if it isn't actually part of the contract and someone is singled out BECAUSE they are a Jew of a Muslim. But if a Muslim want a job in a grocery store they can not complain about having to handle packaged pork. It is part of the job they wanted. It isn't discrimination. It also isn't discrimination for refusing to rent out rooms that will explicitly used for religious services. There is plenty of people that do not want to live next to ANY kind of religious service. Lets say you are an atheist and just want to be left alone and not be involved in religion. After a few years someone rents out a room next to your room for it to be used as a Mosque. Now all of the sudden you are surrounded by Muslims, you encounter people you have never seen before and you are forced to be interact with religion on a constant basis. It might even be a Mosque that is directly tied with extremeist groups such as Isis. This is the exact reasons why neighbors tend to have a say in the matter, and why you are not entitled to set up an establishment whereever you want and no one have anything to say about it. All of this applies just as much to Churches and synagogues. I think you need to actually do some serious thinking before you open your mouth. A lot of what you just said is nonsense.

  44.  @mikemcmike6427  Did private farmers sell their grain to private millers for the price THEY set or the price set by the government? The answer is that they were not allowed to set their own price. Which means they didn't actually own the grain. It was controlled by the government. They also didn't own their own farm or mill. They were the overseers and managers of the business. That can you directly found in the book The vampire economy by Gunter Reimann. A German communist living in Nazi germany. The factory owner did not own the factory anymore. They only managed it for the benefit of the government. After the reichstag fire decree you no longer had a right to own your own property. At any point the government was legally allowed to take however much they wanted from you without giving any of it back. If you owned it, they were not allowed to or had to compensate you for what they took. Since they didn't have to, you didn't own anything. I can not give you any link because if I do Youtube will automatically remove the comment. However you can not even try to say that a political system where the point is to have both private ownership AND a planned economy doesn't have the planned economy. The problem is simple logic. How do you have a planned economy when you do not have ownership over the means? The answer is, you do not. If you want something to read just to prove the point that nazi germany had fixed prices and a planned economy I will point you to Soviet and Nazi Economic Planning in the 1930s by Peter Temin. Please continue to argue against something everyone know the Nazis did. "So Saudi Arabia is a socialist nation?" - How is this relevant to the debate? "By your logic any powerful, meddling or authoritarian government or theocracy is socialist?" - Do you even know the definition of what socialism is? The definition is pretty clear. Socialism is a ideology where the means of production and resources and owned or cotrolled by the state. You can be a powerful government without being a socialist. You can be a meddling government without being a socialist. You can be a theocracy without being a socialist for the simple fact a theocracy does not actually imply it is the state, nore what the religion actually believe in. Do you know what a theocracy actually is? Authoritarian however. Can you please point me to the authoritarian government that does not claim to be the state and does not want to have control over the society they rule? I think you do not really understand what socialism actually is. Socialism is about who has control. Socialism wants "public" (or more correctly, the political elites of a society) control. Capitalism however want private control.

  45.  @PantheraKitty  They never outlawed religion? Then what happened to the Jews? Did I miss something or was that group of people never specifically targeted in WW2? I guess you didn't get the point. The claim was that the Nazis were conservatives as all hell. Which makes it very interesting that they were very much against any religious establishment. People like Joseph Goebbels, Alfred Rosenberg, Martin Bormann, and Heinrich Himmler were aggressive anti-Church radicals. Sure. It was because it was a competing institution. But to say they were conservatives when they openly hated some of the oldest establishments there are. Now that is something. Typically conservatives tend to like old established things like that. Idk. Maybe your idea of conservatism just isn't the same as everyone else idea and the dictionary. To me it seems they were more radicals that wanted to change the country and culture rather rapidly. They might have been conservatives by todays standard, but that is also a not very honest argument to make. "You're a willful idiot. Indeed Nazism can't be placed on a left-right spectrum. Did you even read what I was trying to say?" - I have but you clearly have not. What I see from you is a hypocrite. Will dismiss the right-left spectrum when it suits you, but then use it as soon as it is useful to you. "They absolutely had a market economy, because they had uhh markets and private corporations and all the good stuff. Uh what collapsed? During the war it collapsed? Did you just learn this new fact about the war? You're trolling now. Lol, very funny." - You have not actually looked into the economy of Germany. That is clear from what you have said here. Do you not understand that the only reason Germany looked like it was float was BECAUSE of the war? It was a facade. It was all fake. Hitler knew why Germany lost WW1 so he always aimed to keep the population away from understanding what was going on. The Nazis stole and plundered every other nation to give it to the people of Germany. Do you think they starved the people of Greece for nothing or to live in luxury? They stole all of the food because Germany wasn't able to produce enough. Germany should have starved instead, and that should have meant a loss of support. They stole money, wealth and resources from everywhere because they had to. They had to go to war because they had to. There was no other choice. If they shouldn't had gone to war all of their social programs and projects should have ruined the nation which means the nazis should no longer be able to hold power.
