Re: For those of you who think that nobody could possibly believe in communism like I

An ideology which has created the world's best public healthcare system in Cuba?

And ideology which has increased the female literacy rate in China from about fifty percent to basically 100?

And ideology which overthrew an absolute monarch in Russia who relied on the words of a religious mystic (Rasputin) to guide his policy decisions?

An ideology which, even to this day, is the guiding beacon of inspiration for the world's most populous (an most successful and developed) countries?

An ideology which creates bread lines and food shortages?

An ideology which resulted in over 2 million murders of political opponents and undesireables in Cambodia under Pol Pot?

An ideology which resulted in thousands of politically undesireable Cubans being placed in prison camps and murdered under the orders of Che Guevara?

An ideology which when employed in the USSR under Papa Joe Stalin resulted in show trials, legalized slavery and the deaths of untold millions?

An ideology which tramples individual rights?

An ideology which resulted in the Tiananmen Square Massacre?

An ideology which has caused two of the world's most populace and resource-rich nations (China and the USSR) to lag behind the other industrialized nations of the world in GDP?

An ideology which limits innovation and manipulates its workforce to serve the state?

An ideology which has built up vast military machines while ignoring infrastructure and raising living standards for the masses?

Is that the ideology we're talking about here? Hmmm, just wondering. :confused:

You are joking right? They have above average healthcare for a developing nation but nowhere near the best. They have nowhere near the technology nor the availability of quality healthcare that the Western developed world has.

And ideology which has increased the female literacy rate in China from about fifty percent to basically 100?

That is like meeting the minimum requirements for a country, China gets a D-. African countries are starting to near 100% as well.

And ideology which overthrew an absolute monarch in Russia who relied on the words of a religious mystic (Rasputin) to guide his policy decisions?
And turned Russia into a authoritarian nation responsible for murdering millions of its own citizens. Not to mention the rather poor quality of life and economic stagnation it also brought. Let's also not forget that the Soviet Union collapsed only 70 years later.

An ideology which, even to this day, is the guiding beacon of inspiration for the world's most populous (an most successful and developed) countries?
You mean the ****hole that is the People's Republic of China where the rule of law does not exist and is basically the very definition of corrupt? Where your future is entirely dependent on where you are born and how connected to the CCP you are? Not to mention the tens of millions of people who have died at the hands of Mao and the Communist Party and continues to do so to this very day.
 
Re: For those of you who think that nobody could possibly believe in communism like I

your talking to people who spend most of their time trying to convince others that obama is a secret communist who wants to take their guns and kill white people, and then make them all get gay married at an abortion clinic, inside a sharia FEMA camp

I wouldnt take anything they say too seriously :lol:
I don't believe any of those things; however, I am aware of history and of the full impacts that state-level communism has had on people under its dominion. Funny thing about history....we can cherry pick all we like.....but the evidence of the rest of the fruit is still there for the picking.
 
Re: For those of you who think that nobody could possibly believe in communism like I

I've heard a lot of posters here call me a "troll." Some of you think that there is no way I could be serious about my beliefs. In fact, I have heard accusations that I am a right winger doing a bad impression of what he thinks a liberal is. Many of you have called me a poe. Personally, I think that this says much more about you than it says about me. Some of you are so naive, so sheltered, that you don't understand that billions of people around the world, including some in the USA, do hold a strong belief that the people, not the businesses, should rule. Some of you have beliefs so far to the right that you can't even see anything left of CNN or the Democratic Party (which would be considered center-right in most of the world), that you assume that it simply doesn't exist.

Maybe seeing that many, MANY other people in this country hold similar political views to mine will help you understand that yes, there are many people who support socialism and people's democracy.

Workers World – Workers & oppressed peoples of the world unite! : The Workers World Party, a party wil over a thousand members. Sometimes, I disagree with their views, especially their support for North Korea and their opposition to gun control, but for the most part, I think that they are a courageous bunch of forward thinkers who are not afraid to speak truth to power. Sometimes, I donate to their organization.

Revolution revcom.us : The Revolutionary Communist Party of the USA, this country's premiere Maoist party, which holds many of the same political beliefs that I do.

https://www.reddit.com/r/socialism/ : r/socialism, reddit's socialist subreddit, has over 60,000 subscribers. https://www.reddit.com/r/communism/ : reddit's communist subreddit, which is even more revolutionary than r/socialism, has over 17,000 subscribers

Perhaps if you still refuse to realize that many young americans are increasingly anti-racist, anti capitalist, and pro-equality, perhaps you might want to read these editorials, written by students at our country's finest institutions of higher learning, including Brown and Duke

Or read this article from Daily Kos, which deals with an anti capitalist forum in Cuba that many American college students attended:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/...jitos-Tourismo-Cooperatives-and-CUCs-for-Cuba

And this one as well, by the same author: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/...s-Capitalist-Domination-in-the-Global-Economy

And read both this article and comments to see how many people here in the United States recognized Hugo Chavez for the hero that he is:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/...o-Of-The-Poor-And-Middle-Class-In-Words-Deeds

And this article describes quite well why I have the amount of respect and honor for Mao Zedong that I do:
http://www.mysteriouschina.com/the-greatest-leader-of-china-mao-zedong/

So I would like to ask one thing: to stop slandering me as a troll, a poe, accusing me of lying about my race, my Chinese heritage, my background, etc. I have NEVER once accused any of you of being disingenuous about your political beliefs.

You may have honestly thought that I was a troll, since you disagreed with my ideals and my political thinking, and thought I had to either be crazy or lying. I hope all the sources I posted show that I am not alone in believing the things I do, and respecting the people that I respect. I am not a troll, I am not a poe. I am somebody who sincerely believes that there needs to be massive social change in this country, and that the best form of government is rule by the people, not by the corporations, just like many other people both online and in the real world.

I'm not saying you are a troll, but I'm not so sure there is a difference between being one and being a communist - so I don't really see the point of this thread. Could you please enlighten me with the differences? Apparently they both post threads like these, but I'm sure that is just a coincidence.

Poe's law is strong with this one.

Communism is dead and capitalism killed it.

They are all actually run by the CIA and profit capitalist that run the machinations in the background. It's how they keep track of the lunatics in society.
 
Re: For those of you who think that nobody could possibly believe in communism like I

OK, ok, you got me. I'll admit that I'm actually Paleocon. I'm angry that I got banned, so I decided to pretend to be a socialist and try to be a strawman troll.

(Just kidding. I'm not serious about that. I repeat again, I am not a troll, and if you dislike the fact that I have strongly held political beliefs that you disagree with, then that's just too bad.)

Actually you were honest for the first time in 300 pages of stupidity. You aren't a real person, you're a persona of another, no longer welcome poster. We will all giggle now as you get the door. Again.

You know that I was just joking, right? Somebody accused me of being paleocon in another thread, and I sarcastically agreed.

Thank you for being the rare voice of reason on this forum. You and I need to continue fighting the good fight, and not let these right wing idiots all around us get to us.

Dimension is a great rallying partner. He speaks tbe truth.

Why would that make you happy?
 
Re: For those of you who think that nobody could possibly believe in communism like I

I'll admit to being a bit hot headed and angry this afternoon, but sometimes, things like seeing police kill unarmed people of color without any repercussions just gets your blood boiling. I apologize for crossing the line into "attacking fellow DP forum users" territory.

Did you blood boil at the Dallas shooting as well?
