Comments on: May Day http://www.picobusiness.com/blog/2006/05/may-day/ In the future, everyone will be CEO for 15 minutes Tue, 06 Jan 2009 23:22:48 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: RR http://www.picobusiness.com/blog/2006/05/may-day/#comment-175589 RR Mon, 28 Apr 2008 12:13:59 +0000 http://undefined.hostingplayground.com/blog/index.php/2006/05/01/may-day/#comment-175589 In order to have communalism on a small scale, you need to have the free market on a large scale. Otherwise, the government comes in and steals your tomatoes and sends them over to the other side of the country. Humans have always been killing each other, whatever their race is. No exceptions. Liberals in the USA just hide the teachings about Stalin, focus on the McCarthyism, and never taught us about the evils of Communism. I never learned them, and I went to public school in Virginia, not California. Might I point out that this conversation would not be happening in a communist country???? Get rid of the World Court before we lose our freedom of speech!!!! In order to have communalism on a small scale, you need to have the free market on a large scale.

It is an <i>idea</i>! But when that idea is put into practice, it goes horribly, horribly wrong and millions (if not tens of millions) of people die. And, in any case, Communism doesn't ROCK, because no one and no small group of people are smart enough to actually manage something as sophisticated and fast-moving as a nation's economy. Zach - Communism is the idea…

They controlled the media, travel, freedom of speech and pretty much every other aspect of their societies. How could you <i>not</i> see them as similar?

The CCCP definately openly waged war against the Nazi's in WWI and WWII, so to me this makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I only have one thing to say.

Human beings are flawed by nature. It's an inescapable fact. To espouse the virtues of a system (Communism) that flies in the face of human nature is folly. So what you get is a bastardized version of it, manipulated and warped into a dictatorship. Sure capitalism isn't perfect, but with the proper regulation and legislation it can work beautifully and fairly. Communism has no chance to ever be anything but a pathway to death and misery.

However this simple flaw can be fixed, like in every form of government, such as a Parlimentery system. Communism ROCKS! As far as the comparison of the swastika and the hammer and sickle symbol, just proposterus. You can't just simply compare two completly different philosophies such as Nazism and Communism. Nazism was founded on the violent, sadistic mean to eliminate certain races. Communism is the idea that the Proletarians (working class) should rule instead of the rich overlords(Bourgeis) and that the wealth should be spread amongst the working class.

"Most of them were accidentally killed out of starvation and overwork" Ha! That makes it better. And, btw if you count communist China's body bags, you end up with 90+ million dead. All because Karl Marx's idea was fatally flawed - it centralizes power and trusts in their good intentions. Anyone who believes that is a good way to run a government is to be both pitied and scorned.

Nazism was the German answer to Italian facism, but it was EXTREME nationalism and racist. Stalin did not intentionally kill ALL of the 10 million people. A good number of them, yes, for speaking out against him (he most certainly didn't mess). When Stalin was in power, things got done, industry was put in place. When people were sent to the Kulags they built industry, they did things for the Soviet Union. So most of them were accidentally killed out of starvation and overwork. He wasn't looking to rid the state of certain people, as was Hitler. The one thing they did have in common was riding of people who spoke out against them, but more people died under the reign of Hilter intentionally than did Stalin. So to ever say that communism=nazism is false and sick. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a post quite so ignorant before.

You are one of the thickest! How the hell can you get two misinterpreted images and try to compare them!? You have made your judgement on communism by reading and hearing lots of stereotypical corporate propoganda. Karl Marx was one of the best thinkers in the world. You are one of the thickest!
