  • There is no such thing as a “successful socialist country” and there never can be since Karl Marx didn’t design one. What he did was to write a manifesto that some very stupid but extremely crafty and greedy people picked up and ran with in order to create a “new” kind of government which is really nothing more than a revamping and modernization of the old 18th century European monarchies. These old Monarchies were, of course, completely untouchable by the people, totally controlled the people, used (often extreme) force when they felt threatened by the people and really didn’t care about the general populations at all. Really, who wants to go back to that?


  • When being “desperate to look cool to everyone else” overrides common sense and your humanity, you get this. “Those who can be led to believe in absurdities can also be led to commit atrocities.” - Voltaire (The Nazis of WWII did this very well. The “Pro-Palestinians” are proving it, again. Those who don’t know history are always doomed to repeat it.)
