George Bernard Shaw was NOT British, he was an Irish Nationalist. Unfortunately, their hatred of Britain was sufficient for Ireland to remain steadfastly neutral throughout WW2. Those many, many thousands of Irishmen who joined Britain and were killed fighting against Nazi Germany were NEVER granted a military funeral on Irish soil.

Unfortunately 'democracy' is merely the icing on the cake NOT the cake itself. Civic society is the difficult bit because it is a set of relationships built on voluntary and charitable effort and donations. It is all the societies, clubs, social groups, charities and suchlike to which people give their time and money freely. Sadly, the socialist formula makes benevolence the preserve of government - a voracious and expensive beast - it vacuums up civil society and freedom with it.

Buddhism in Afghanistan was one of the major religious forces in the region during pre-Islamic era. The religion was widespread south of the Hindu Kush mountains. ... The Buddhist religion in Afghanistan started fading with the arrival of Islam in the 7th century but finally ended during the Ghaznavids in the 11th century.

The people in their mid to high 20's at the moment seem to be the worst for this culture of irrational and self enslaving entitlement. If this nation is to recover itself, we must go forward teaching the basic economics of liberty.

@successfulbuild You MAY have it half-right: Jefferson's point was the Aristocrcy part -NOT the Corporate part. I would be all for some Anti-trust breakups in a few Industries like Big Oil and cable communications i.e. ComCast and TimeWarner. Big Oil quietly pursued merger after merger in the last 15 yrs until there are only a few major producers anymore. Nobody cried foul? In Cable, there is no reason that content providers and local content distribution would be harmed by being separated.

I tried to find out where Marx talked about rac**l tr*sh and I found somethiing here: mehr-freiheit.de/sozitech/marx.html (in German, under the Headline Minderheiten). If this is the original quote though, a translation of V*lkerabf*lle to rac**l tr*sh is in my opinion a little bit distorting and out of context. I would not use that quote to discredit Marxism. Very good speech though!

Present-day Russia is far more capitalist than Sweden. And the USSR was never "socialist" or "communist" -- only in name. You know that. So, I suppose you're a Libertarian? In that case, good luck trying to democratically realize actual Libertarianism as the system -- against the interests of the huge majority of people. Real existing capitalism is no longer sustainable. Van-Hayek-style actual Libertarianism is entirely incompatible with democracy. You know that as well.

"huh? dude 1. reading comprehension. 2. step away from the mainstream TV." I'm seriously trying to understand this "comment" (such as it is). I can read just fine. And have cited sources and could cite many, many more. As for "step away from the mainstream TV." I ask again: do you seriously deny the US state killed 100 million Indians?? If you agree then where does your anti-Communism stand? It is meaningless unless you've done something against BOTH kinds of atrocities.

@Orn Gorn That was the state at work, helped by smallpox. If private individuals had negotiated with natives without the Army, there would have been less bloodshed. Every invading force has the same history regardless of their political/financial outlook: lookup the history ofthe caliphate, orthe extreme cruelty of Spanish imperialists. Capitalism is not to blame. Be that as it may, the wars ended 120 years ago. Native populations have been steadily increasing and racism is so passe that certain people try to enhance their prestige by claiming native ancestry. The Alaska Native Land Claims Settlement recognized property rights over vast areas. This evolution took place without communist rule.

@CC3GROUNDZERO Жыл бұрын

@@erastvandoren It's about the middle class always. The USSR never had a middle class; they had an incredibly rich and powerful gang at the very top and the vast majority were increasingly dirt poor. That is incidentally the same outcome as we experience in neoliberal capitalism. So the "100% state quote" argument is nonsensical, because that state was run like a very corrupt and inefficient huge corporation. It provided next to nothing for the people. The "Nordic" countries at least *used to* have substantial social democratic welfare measures in place, providing security (both perceived and real, which are both important) to everyone in those societies. Even those countries are feeling the global neoliberal pressure and are sadly abandoning those measures, with predictable outcomes (cf. the work of Kate Pickett and Richard Wilkinson regarding societal inequality).
