To sum it up: Communism is a mental illness. Great article. Followed! Ok..I'll try to elaborate my statement. First; Communism never works. Socialism to a certain degree CAN however work in a homogenic society (like Norway used to be) where everyone has good work ethics, trust each other, and there is a high degree of trust in government. Plus the government has a low degree of corruption. The problem with communism, as you describe, is that it goes against the human spirit, and also that it is based on totally false premisses. For example; the worth of labour. For a communist the amount of time that goes into work is what defines its value. So if I dig a hole in the ground in my backyard, and it takes 20 years, that is worth as much as the businessman who cleverly builds up a business. They dont understand the risk a businessman must take. They dont understand that they are being paid LATER for work they have been doing for free for many years while building up their businesss. The other false premise is human nature. Communists have a negative view of humans. They believe humans are greedy and evil and must be "contained" and harnessed by a strong government. They are often angry, miserable people who have achieved nothing. Now they want everyone else to be in that same boat. At the same time they often want big things for themselves..so they call them selves anarco-communist or another oxymoron. And this cognitive dissonnance we can see over and over again. They are "against facsism" but at the same time they protest against people who have different opinions. They can "hit nazies" (who doesnt exist) but others cant hit them.
If those different opinions constitute fascism, why should they not protest??
Can you give me an example of one of those opinions? The antifa are protesting free speech seminars for god sake :D
White people are more worth then black.
I don't know about those "free speech seminars" but I know that in many cases people claim "free speech" when all they want to do is be able to say "I am happy that those were killed! Kill more!" without getting booed for it.
Here in my part Germany we have just that now with a leak from internal AfD (right political party) chat.
Can you qoute anyone saying that white people are more worth than blacks? I watch a lot of stuff..and I've never heard anything like that ever. Even Jared Taylor from American Reinassance has very valid points. Never heard him say anything remotely racist. Try again. Argument this time.
I don't know that Jared or that AR.
You asked me to tell you a fascist idea, that I have done. So I don't know what I should try now.
And yes, normally people don't say that openly because they know they get handed the stick then from the more moral persons in the society.
But you can see that thinking in many different things. Sometimes it's even official.
For example, Germans are officially told to not go to Afghanistan is possible at all because of possible terror attacks.
At the same time refugees from Afghanistan are sent back because "there are save regions".
Both things cannot be true at the same time. You cannot even say that it is more dangerous for Germans in A. because they are targets - for the religious terrorists an Afghan that is not adhering to their rules is worse then a foreigner.
"Funnily" enough, a few weeks after the first Afghans were sent back, one of the first batch was killed by a terrorist attack in a "save" region. But it is ok, he was not the target, he was only passing by.
The problem with political correctness is that it's not allowed to discuss facts. It's all about feelings. No one claims that your refugees are less worth than germans. But we point at rational arguments why your society will have big problems as a consequence of cultural differences, differences in IQ, differences in religious/moral beliefs etc. Now I suppose your "racist" alarm went off the second you read the word "IQ difference". You don't believe in that. And even if you did, you would never accept that it's a problem. AND you can't accept that I'm not a racist for pointing that out - even if I will tell you right now that the definition of racism is "believing that one race is more WORTH than another". So it must be YOU who measure worth in IQ levels or culture or religion - not me. And at the same time, I suppose "race" doesn't even exist? So how can anyone be racist at all? What I'm trying to point out here is all the cognitive dissonance on the political correct spectrum. You refuse to touch reality, therefore we can't have a rational discussion. By the way , I've been in discussions with ALOT of your so called "racists" and "white supremacists" Funny enough, I've never heard them say that anyone are less worth as humans. However , they believe whites ALSO, like any other race, has a right to PRESERVE their OWN culture. We embrace the fact that blacks are "strong and proud blacks"..try changing the word black with white. "We are strong and proud whites" RACIST!!!! Man..you can let go of Hitler. We don't blame YOU personally for what Hitler did. No one should blame white americans for what slave owners in a brutal day and age did. Why aren't we praising the fact that hundres of thousands of white americans fought and died to end slavery? While the Arabs who enslaved a hell of a lot more people throughout the last milliennia than whites, got a free pass. Why is that? Because they have NEVER apologized. White people apologized and tried desperately to make the world a better place, while at the same time everyone pointing the finger at them. When you admit your wrong doings, it's easy for others to attack you and blame you.
That is such a dumb argument I don't even now how to answer.
Let's try it this way: There are no racist. So everyone who says that is a racist. Simple enough?
