  Gee, Socialism for a better America? And all we have to do is look at Greece to see how socialism fares for their economy. How about Germany WWII? How about Modern Europe? Just look at Cuba and North Korea! |

And all we have to do is look at Greece to see how socialism fares for their economy. No Greece shows us how well countries do where nobody pays their taxes. That's what is bringing Cuba down, just like America is working toward.. Cuba and N.Korea don't show us anything about the weaknesses of socialism. Cuba shows us how remarkably well a country can do when its' not allowed to do commerce with the the worlds' largest economy, 50 miles away. N. Korea isn't even Socialist. It's just strict isolationist totalitarian. |

Gee, Socialism for a better America? How about Germany WWII? Uh ....... Germany WWII = Fascist not Socialist. Almost all political scholars consider Fascism to be a Far Right ideology. And a look at the Wikipedia article on the subject would show the reader there are many points of intersection in the beliefs, goals and methods of today's Far Right in America, especially with Italian Fascism. -Kerry O. If I am not mistaken Nazi's were Communists and thus the government controlled everything and thus Socialism. You are mistaken. Did you even read the Wikipedia article? Quick now-- who was the Nazi's 'Eastern Front' war against? -Kerry O. Are you trying to say that one communist country can't be at war with another communist country? Ok well how about we look up the Nazi party which is (National Socialist German Workers' Party) No, I'm saying that WWII European Fascism and Soviet Communism were two entirely different things. Oh, and that you're still mistaken despite your attempt to cover your lack of knowledge about the history of WWII and the political spectrum with the specious assertion that it's within the realm of possibility that two communist countries could be at war with each other. It's irrelevant because that's NOT what happened. -Kerry O. So are you saying that NAZI does not stand for tne National Socialist German Workers Party? I mean they called themselves Socialists. |

So are you saying that NAZI does not stand for tne National Socialist German Workers Party? I mean they called themselves Socialists. NO! _I'm_ saying they weren't _Communists_. It's the common, willful misconception that Communism and Socialism are one in the same-- that's not necessarily true. Besides, the Nazis didn't even BEGIN to practice Socialism as it is known today and the weren't Far Left, they were Far Right. Further, we didn't hesitate at all to ally ourselves with Communist Russia when it suited our purposes. Does THAT mean that FDR was a communist? I'm sure some hardcore Far Righties of today think so. What would REALLY be interesting is if we could devise and run accurate computer simulations that would predict how today's politicians would act if whisked away to those histories. Sarah Palin would be seeing thick moustaches coming over the horizon... -Kerry O. |
