Dissecting John Stossel's Anti-Communist Lies

[Unkotare]

Of course not, because I was born and raised here in the United States....

Then stop talking shit about things you don't understand. Go out and see the real world, kid.

 

[Red Front]

Yes, and the day its does the lord returns and tosses your heathen asses into a lake of fire, literally the very day you evil fucks win the lotto, you die, happy trails!

Jesus was a communist, so I doubt he will be throwing us into the lake of fire. He's going to throw capitalists and their fans into the lake of fire.

 

[Unkotare]

.... It's illegal for me to live in a communist country, .....

No it's not. You lack the courage of your pretend principles, kid.

You'll understand when America becomes socialist in the not-to-distant future. Socialism is coming, so you should become a socialist.

I would hardly describe socialism as getting its butt kicked in the 20th century. The Russian communists, beat the US and 14 other countries in 1918 when it was invaded by 8000 US Marines, and then it beat Nazi Germany. The Korean war ended without a clear victory for the US. Vietnam, we all know how that ended. Socialist principles were implemented in Russia by Putin in 2000, creating a mixed economy, which saved it from economic collapse. Socialism today is more popular than ever and with the advent of advanced automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, self-driving cars..etc, communism will become a necessity in the not-too-distant future. The only alternative is techno-feudalism, which no one in their right mind prefers.

Wrong.

In 1918 the US troops defeated all opponentes and then withrdew from Russia when congress got tired of funding the expedition.

The USSR did help defeat the nazis but could not have done so with the US

Socialism is popklar with many but still fails

Advanced automation, robotics AI self driving cars etc will not bring about socialism or communism they will only entrench capitalism

I will shoot any communist that crosses my gate, just as they shot members of my family two generations ago. They will be eaten by coyotes and ravens.
I don't or wont apologize for it either.

 

[Soupnazi630]

Of course not, because I was born and raised here in the United States. It's illegal for me to live in a communist country, under American sanctions and threats of war. But anyways, why would I live in another country, when I can live here in the United States and do whatever I can to make it more socialist and communist?

No it is not illegal moron you are free to go to any communist nation so long as they take you and most of them will

Just a historical note ... capitalism didn't reach Russia until 1990 ... er, 1990 AD that is ... and there's never been capitalism in China ... so we need to be careful in our analogies ... communism has never replaced capitalism ... ever ... anywhere ... communism has replaced feudalism, but never capitalism ...

The truth is the GUBBERMINT tells you which electric company you buy electric power from ... you have no say ... here in the Pacific Northwest, a substancial amount of our electricty comes from the Army Corps of Engineers ... BPA owns the transmission lines and in many places, the city handles retail distribution ... government ownership from start to finish ... and it's illegal to seek electric power from any other retail source ...

Sometimes socialism is reasonable ... we want only one set of wires in our skies ... so only one electric company can operate ... sit in on a PUC meeting sometime ... it is what it is ... the reason socialism is bad is because we're paying the cheapest electric rates in the nation ... no profit margins ... evil evil evil ...

No it is not.

You will die waiting for that day which will never happen.

Your failure is inevitable

 

[Red Front]

No it's not. You lack the courage of your pretend principles, kid.

Part of the principles of communism is to turn a capitalist economy into a socialist one. I can't do that in a country that is already socialist. More, America should lift the economic sanctions on every developing socialist country in the world. American-imposed sanctions prevent socialist countries from trading with the world, due to the amount of control the US empire has over the world's economy and governments.

You'll understand ...

I do understand, kid. YOU do not.

Your land and home is more secure under American communism than it is now under capitalism.

American sanctions stop no one from being socialism.

the failure of socialism is inherent

There is no American communism only scattered US communists who are all deluded

 

[Red Front]

I do understand, kid. YOU do not.

You apparently don't but you can keep deluding yourself if it makes you feel better.

The US is not an empire.

You have admitted you've never lived in a communist country. You are just shitting out nonsense your PolSci professor fed you. I, on the other hand, know what the hell I'm talking about.

That's how it should be. Electricity is a vital part of our national infrastructure that everyone needs to function in a modern society. It's a product that everyone consumes. The money we pay the utility companies should be deposited in the public treasury and used for healthcare, education, paving our roads, building and maintaining our bridges..etc. I would rather send my money to my government, a government that in principle and in practice must serve my interests and hold elections every few years, than a private for-profit company owned by one billionaire or a small group of wealthy investors.

The US is not an empire.

The US is the most powerful empire in human history, with 700+ military bases and installations around the world. It has full control over the world's economy with its currency and financial institutions. It is the host nation of the UN, where the whole world gathers to establish its laws, it is definitely without a doubt for most rational, reasonable people, the world's only true hegemonic superpower.

 

[Unkotare]

The US is the most powerful empire in human history, ...

The US is NOT an empire, kid. Go back to school and finish that degree. When you're done with that, head out and experience the real world.
