I listen to all media even your garbage propaganda, from BBC and France 24 to the New York Times and the hindustani times and the Washington garbage examiner etcetera etcetera etcetera. And you have in the entire world one TV network in the United states from a guy who has been thrown out of every other country in the modern world basically you have Murdoch the scumbag.....garbage propaganda. if you are a republican comma change the channel and try reality.... .What I posted was a reference to the novel 1984.
Everything in the post of yours' I quoted is a direct example of what you believe from the Telescreen. Just complete nonsense you are fed without an ounce of energy put forth by you to apply any critical thinking.
Does what you posted make any logical sense, or reflect reality?
No.
That's all today's "news" regurgitators that you base your points on.I listen to all media even your garbage propaganda, from BBC and France 24 to the New York Times and the hindustani times and the Washington garbage examiner etcetera etcetera etcetera.

That's all today's "news" regurgitators that you base your points on.
You should examine the past, and how we got to this point of illogical, Humanity denying madness.
Speak for yourself LOL. There is journalism and then there is garbage propaganda like the GOP base is addicted to. The only people in the world who believe that crap except maybe for some Russians... You are a conspiracy not at this point... No fraud no hoaxes no conspiracies
Do you think it's only him that sees the writing on the wall? Technology makes production incredibly efficient, quick, automated, autonomous, and eventually personal, hence paying human beings to do the same job is unnecessary, if not illogical. It's a waste of resources and time. So you and I will work supervising the system, and that entails less work and more freedom. We can work 20 hour weeks, in order to support the system that is providing us with a very high standard of living. Everyone has a home, perhaps two or three homes. The nation's infrastructure is modern, hence we all have plenty of transportation options. Highspeed rail, autonomous electric vehicles, autonomous buses, CityRail..etc. We have our own personal vehicles, we have distribution centers full of products and the system is generous. Each individual can get a new desktop computer once a year and a laptop. Everyone will have the latest devices, be it a smartphone or a cappuccino machine. Technology will allow everyone to have a very high standard of living.
People will gladly work, 20 hours weekly, five days a week, in the field that they choose. There might be some jobs that need to be filled by humans that are unpleasant. Supervising the mining robots, in a mine, 500ft underground. Those who volunteer for that type of work will receive awards, honors, and a special thank you from society. Because most people don't volunteer for that type of work. It takes a special type of person to do that work, so those people are the vanguard of society. The people who are willing to sacrifice to advance humanity to a higher level. Science and technology will continue to develop and eventually no humans will have to supervise the robots on-site, 500 ft under a mountain. It's a process. Evolution is a process, where we gradually acquire more and more dominion over ourselves and the physical world around us. Eventually, humanity will possess full dominion and freedom over life itself and the material world.
Well I disagree greatly on many points but respect your posting.I'd say the same thing about capitalism, so I guess it's a matter of perspective. Communism is coming, it's the inevitable result of technology replacing wage labor.
What is this "human nature" that supposedly makes capitalism the only possible mode of production? Human nature somehow requires the dictatorship of the workplace, the exploitation of human labor, and the exclusive necessity to organize human production around the pursuit of money? What do you think is going to happen to your beloved capitalism when wage-labor is replaced with technology?
Capitalists and their fans resort to cheap polemics when they assert that socialism doesn't work. Their standard for success is quite disingenuous and arbitrary. Success for one nation is not the same for another. If a nation begins with practically nothing and a few decades later becomes the second-largest economy in the world, rivaling a powerful hostile capitalist superpower that had more than a century's headstart, how can you with a straight face assert that was a failure? By what reasonable metric do you dismiss socialism as a failure? The facts are that when socialism is allowed to function without being attacked by capitalist-imperialists, as occurred throughout the history of the USSR and other nations like Cuba, Vietnam..etc, it does very well. Socialism is not communism, it's the process of socializing production from capitalism to communism.
Your demand that socialism must take over capitalism overnight, within just a few years or decades, if it is a viable economic model and mode of production is absurd and silly. Capitalism didn't replace slavery and feudalism overnight. It was a long process of trial and error, successes and failures, victories and defeats before the capitalists beat the monarchs and feudal lords. The merchants and capitalists didn't defeat the kings and nobles overnight, it took centuries. A few hundred years ago the proponents of slavery or feudalism were resorting to the same bullshit arguments that the fans of capitalism use today against socialism:
" Oh capitlaism doesn't work. You guys were defeated by the kings and nobles. Your economic system just doesn't work as you can see. Human nature demands slavery and absolute monarchy. Feudalism is the best we can do now and forever. Capitalism is nothing more than a pipe dream. It will never happen, because human nature won't permit it. Workers have to be enslaved by a master and driven by the whip. That's human nature."
Really? No. You're essentially applying the same faulty logic and arguments against socialism and communism. It will become quite obvious in the near future, that socialism (the socialization and democratization of production) will be the best, if not only solution to the elimination of wage-labor by technology. The capitalists might try giving people a Universal Basic Income to maintain capitalism on life support for a few more decades, creating a fake market with fake paying consumers, but that won't last too long. Production will be forced to re-organize itself, not for monetary gain but for the sake of meeting the needs of consumers. Consumers will always exist, PAYING consumers won't. There's a distinction between paying customers/consumers and simply people who need to consume (eat, clothe themselves..etc). Production will be for the sake of producing what we consume, not for the sake of private capital accumalation or profits. Monetary gain will no longer be the "bottom line", it will be meeting people's needs. Our "bottom line" will change out of necessity.
NO WAGE LABOR = NO PAYING CONSUMERS = NO MARKETS = NO CAPITALISM.
That's all today's "news" regurgitators that you base your points on.

One could argue that the religious conservatives want the ultimate 1984 Big Brother tyranny, led by "born again" Evangelicals, enforcing archaic, draconian Biblical laws. Most conservatives complain about the government imposing mask mandates by arguing that the government doesn't have a right to dictate what they do with their own bodies, yet they rabidly resist the legalization of cannabis, even medical marijuana. They're also against women using the pill because it kills the zygote which is the result of a fertilized egg. It's essentially an abortion. They want to force women to remain pregnant, even when they don't want to be pregnant. Many of these conservatives are against all forms of contraception, arguing that it is a license to "fornicate" (no contraception = more unwanted pregnancies). Many of them also want to ban porn. I also would like to see porn banned, I believe it degrades both women and men. Conservatives also want to continue criminalizing prostitution.Sadly, Democrats view "1984" as their to-do manual.
They ignore this:
'If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – for ever. ' This is one of the most famous quotations from George Orwell's 1949 novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. The words are spoken by O'Brien, the grand inquisitor of the totalitarian regime in Orwell's novel.

So every side supports policies that can be interpreted as authoritarian. It's not just the democrats.
How is your religion "free will" ?Try to stop being a fool.....no matter how many years of practice went into it.
The simple difference between Nazis, Democrats, Bolsheviks, Maoists, all sorts of totalitrians is free will.
The Judeo-Christian faith is based on two gifts from God....intelligence and free will.
Your religion denies either to adherents.
How is your religion "free will" ?
The Judeo-Christian faiths, the religion of our Founders, doesn't have stormtroopers that slaughter or imprison those who don't think right.
Here is the Militant Secularism scorecard:
"Over the past 100 years the most oppressive ideology in the world has been communism [Marxism]. While the people who lived under it were starved, tortured and murdered, its leaders lived in luxury.
The suppression of ordinary people by their communist rulers far surpasses anything capitalist employers were ever accused of doing. While condemning exploitation, communist dictators turned out to be masters at it.
a. R.J. Rummel estimates that almost 170 million people were killed in the 20th century by their own governments. These are not deaths in war. They are the victims of genocide by the governments in the countries where they lived. Hate on the Left
Some people blame organized religion for most of history's killings. It is also sometimes claimed that more people have been killed in the name of Christ than for any other reason.
The total number of deaths estimated to lie at the feet of humanity's poor practice of Christianity is approximately 17 million. This number would include ancient wars, the Crusades, the Inquisitions, various European wars during the Middle Ages, and witchcraft trials.

Throughout history Christendom did have its "stormtroopers" / Gestapo, through its inquisitions and many wars fought against "heritics" and sects (people that didn't think right). It was the secular values of the enlightenment that allowed secular democracies to exist and stop religious people from continuing with their bullying and bloodshed.

Isn't religion to blame for most of history's killings?
Response:
You're just spouting groundless, delusional drivel. The age of the European colonization of the Americas, Africa and many parts of Asia was fueled by the pursuit of profits. Tens of millions died as a result of the capitalist lust for captal accumulation and power. Citing death tolls in an attempt to discredit communism is silly when you're defending a system that killed even more people, so why do it?
The deity Christians created demands people believe in a bunch of religious nonsense under the threat of being tortured in a lake of fire for all eternity. Your false god is so sadistic, that he will keep his human creation conscious and alive in a state of utter torment forever because they didn't convert to the Christian religion (which entails believing a bunch of religious absurdities). Your bible-book is full of divinely condoned genocide and other horrible crimes against humanity, yet you aspire to establish this ancient, religious book as the standard for human morality and good character. Your false god tells others to love their enemies and pray for those who persecute them, while refusing to forgive his own enemies, throwing them into the lake of fire. This non-existent god that you've conjured up in your mind, fails to consider the fact that there are many nations and cultures on Earth, that have their own religions and distinct views about life and death.
A child born and raised in Saudi Arabia or in a small village in Northern India, doesn't have the same opportunities to find Jesus as a child born in the heart of the Bible belt in Missippi or in a town in South Carolina, where there's a church on every block. When the missionaries start preaching Christianity to that young man born and raised in Saudi Arabia, he won't be as receptive to the message of the Christian gospel, as a person born in the Bible belt. The individual born and raised in Saudi Arabia is hardwired, completely conditioned to believe in Allah and that Muhammad is the prophet of Allah. For him, those missionaries are preaching idolatry and should be ignored. So your fake god didn't factor that in when designing his salvation plan. He just decided everybody must accept Christian religious dogma, or be damned and tortured in hell for all eternity.
So you're griping here about communism supposedly being violent when ironically, the core of your worldview as a Christian couldn't be more violent and inhumane. It's nothing less than savagery and sadism.

1. Lavrenty Beria, in full Lavrenty Pavlovich Beria, Beria also spelled Beriya, (born March 29 [March 17, Old Style], 1899, Merkheuli, Russian Empire [now in Georgia]—died December 23, 1953, Moscow, Russia, U.S.S.R.), director of the Soviet secret police who played a major role in the purges of Joseph Stalin’s opponents.
... he was drawn into intelligence and counterintelligence activities (1921) and appointed head of the Cheka (secret police) in Georgia. He became party boss of the Transcaucasian republics in 1932 and personally oversaw the political purges in those republics during Stalin’s Great Purge (1936–38).
He supervised a purge of the police bureaucracy itself and administered the vast network of labour camps set up throughout the country.

2. In so very many ways the Party Of Death, the Democrats, picked up where Beria left off.
a. Before the Russian Revolution, the number of execution by the czarist government came to seventeen (17) per year, according to Solzhenitsyn. He pointed out that, in comparison, the Spanish Inquisition, at its height, destroyed 10 people per month.
But, during the revolutionary years 1918-1919, Lenin's Cheka executed, without trial, more than one thousand (1,000) people a month.
At the height of Stalin's terror, 1937-1938, tens of thousands of people were shot per month. Solzhenitsyn, "Warning To The West."
b. From Solzhenitsyn's "Warning To The West,"... "Here are the figures: 17 a year, 10 a month, more than 1 ,000 a month, more than 40,000 a month! Thus, that which had made it difficult for the democratic West to form an alliance with pre-revolutionary Russia had, by 1941, grown to such an extent and still did not prevent the entire united democracy of the world — England, France, the United States, Canada, and other small countries — from entering into a military alliance with the Soviet Union, How is this to be explained? How can we understand it? " Full text of "Solzhenitsyn: The Voice of Freedom"
. "Can you name the greatest mass murderer of the 20th century? No, it wasn’t Hitler or Stalin. It was Mao Zedong.
According to the authoritative “Black Book of Communism,” an estimated 65 million Chinese died as a result of Mao’s repeated, merciless attempts to create a new “socialist” China. Anyone who got in his way was done away with -- by execution, imprisonment or forced famine.
[ He wanted to "fundamentally transform" his nation. Sound familiar? There are no coincidences.]
For Mao, the No. 1 enemy was the intellectual. The so-called Great Helmsman reveled in his blood-letting, boasting, “What’s so unusual about Emperor Shih Huang of the China Dynasty? He had buried alive 460 scholars only, but we have buried alive 46,000 scholars.” Mao was referring to a major “accomplishment” of the Great Cultural Revolution, which from 1966-1976 transformed China into a great House of Fear."
The Legacy of Mao Zedong is Mass Murder
a. ..... journalist Liu Binyan has described Mao as "both monster and a genius."[222]Some historians argue that Mao Zedong was "one of the great tyrants of the twentieth century", and a dictator comparable to Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin,[225][226]with a death toll surpassing both.[7][9]
InThe Black Book of Communism, Jean Louis Margolin writes that "Mao Zedong was so powerful that he was often known as the Red Emperor ... the violence he erected into a whole system far exceeds any national tradition of violence that we might find in China."[227]... You [intellectuals] revile us for being Qin Shi Huangs. You are wrong. We have surpassed Qin Shi Huang a hundredfold."[229]As a result of such tactics, critics have pointed out that:
The People's Republic of China under Mao exhibited the oppressive tendencies that were discernible in all the major absolutist regimes of the twentieth century. There are obvious parallels between Mao's China, Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. Each of these regimes witnessed deliberately ordered mass 'cleansing' and extermination."Mao Zedong - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Anita Dunn...the chose of Barack Obama, picks this monster as her favorite.
"It's insanity. This is her hero's work," he said. "She thinks of this man's work all the time?
"It would be like me saying to you, 'you know who my favorite political philosopher is? Adolf Hitler.' Have you read Mein Kampf? [She wants to] fight your fight like Hitler did,..."
Glenn Beck
Jung Chang, writing her memoires of life under Mao, “Wild Swans,” points to that sort of lock-step obedience to lies and propaganda.
View attachment 669828
“The lesson was that Mao’s authority was unchallengeable—even though he was clearly in the wrong. Officials could see that no matter how high up you were—and no matter what your standing—if you offended Mao you would fall into disgrace. They also knew that you could not speak your mind and resign, or even resign quietly: resignation was seen as an unacceptable protest. There was no opting out. The mouths of the Party as well as the people were now tightly sealed.”
Truth had no meaning…the party line was all that mattered.
The Red Banner Youth Brigade
The Kwan family met the Youth Brigade in their living room, which had shrunk to the size of a prison cell due to the number of shouting youth surrounding the family. They gazed at the youth in bewilderment unable to understand the evil that they had done.
“Do you repent? Do you confess to clinging to the old values?”
“Confess and seek reeducation and we will spare you!”
“You are guilty of old thought, old culture, old values…”
“You have built a lackey’s empire on the backs of the people!”
Kwan and his wife, along with their twelve-year-old son were bound and defenseless.
“You are part of the old…”
The tall leader of the cadre engages in a furious dialectic, spittle flying from his mouth.
“You are part of the old! Do you repent?”
With every line he spoke, he swung the black baton, heavy as a cricket bat.
“You will reform your decadent ways!”
“The old ways are a threat to the collective good of the people!”
“You will die if you retain your old beliefs!”
“Repent! Reject the old! Admit you have been seduced by unbeneficial and decadent thought!”
It continued for endless minutes- until the blows the student rained down stole the life from the family. The iron-tipped baton left bloody forms at his feet as he recited the catechism the students thirstily sought to hear.
