I think that real problem is that Americans don't understand that Western Social Democrat parties aren't against capitalism, aren't such a revolutiona...

Because they belong to a social democratic party's women's wing, to one regional section of it. Members who belong to a political party usually share ...

Well, there is a reason just why the debate is on political threads... Of course you can ask, but likely they won't answer. Would give some probabilit...

How? Why is Norway worse than North Korea? I have to point out what social democratic women look like. These are female social-democrats. Note the att...

I can assure you this has a long tradition in the US. Here's a short introduction to various elections that have been disputed: A history of contested...

It would be nice if you applied your arbitrary standards to everyone. But I guess Americans look at an event and then decide if their role is either t...

...Until it would be an Ocazio-Cortez using exactly similar rhetoric talking to the BLM or some Black block. Then it's TOTALLY DIFFERENT!!! :grin:

The year 2000 elections with Bush vs Gore going to the courts far too distant in history for you to remember? https://chieforganizer.org/wp-content/up...

A very telling answer from you.

Yet I remember Hillary Clinton accepting the outcome. Yes, that elections have been manipulated has been a long lasting topic in the US. But again her...

I don't think that above makes him a fascist. Note the "if". The question is that if elections would be fraudulent, naturally then the winner of the e...

Actually you don't see it. Your partisanship just blinds you, just like many of the ranting leftists here, who eagerly go with the flow and embrace th...

And do notice that he is reading from a teleprompter and not speaking whatever he wants, as usually. This is classic Trump. When you go too much over,...

And what was the reason? I still think bannings ought to happen when the site guidelines are explicitly breached.

Still it has the same issue. If you don't understand my point as it seems, then resorting to condescending arrogance and belittling seems the modus op...

Fine NOS. Even more reason to get him out. Inciting by accident / cluelessness is even worse. I guess here the issue are things like 1) what was Trump...

Great, seems that you've found to copy paste the crucial part from Marx (I remember one Lizard brain berating me on an internet quote, but anyway). OK...

That would be owned by the government in a democracy. Not that there isn't private property. I think that people in Brunei, Monaco or Saudi Arabia do ...

Of course. When we look at the history of nearly all Western nations, there have been those critical times when a socialist revolution was possible. L...

Capitalism is the ownership of industry is held in private hands. Private ownership doesn't lead to that. For example, land ownership hasn't concentra...
January 12, 2021 at 08:52
With that I can agree with. Any economic theory that gets support usually have a point and a kernel of truth in them. And what is obvious is that real...
