"a soldier loses when he does not win, but a guerilla wins when he does not lose." Wise words, these be. |

Hahaha. At this rate, we could easily conclude that an Obama/Mugabe ticket is a real possibility.

Someone has been buying into the hate propaganda mail on the internet perpetrated by those racist, hatemongers. It is not true. GUYS SOMEONE QUESTIONED THE LEGAL QUALIFICATIONS OF BARRACK OBAMA'S CANDIDACY, IT MUST BE RACISM. EDIT: But seriously, he's not legally able to become president and neither is John McCain. |

Only a communist would argue that Lenin wasn't a dictator. And while I too do not want to live in a globalized world spearheaded by multinationals, I also don't want to live in a socialist nanny-state that steals money from me either.

Okay..its a lot to read..but you seem to not have your facts right...and you seem like someone who values education...
A key element of fascism is its endorsement of the leadership over a country of a dictator, who is often known simply as the "Leader". Fascist leaders that rule countries are not always heads of state, but heads of government, such as Benito Mussolini who held power under the largely figurehead King of Italy, Victor Emmanuel III. In the case of Italy, Fascism arose in the 1920s as a mixture of syndicalist notions with an anti-materialist theory of the state; the latter had already been linked to an extreme nationalism. Fascism universally dismissed the Marxist concept of "class struggle", replacing it instead with the concept of "class collaboration". Fascists embraced nationalism and mysticism, advancing ideals of strength and power. Fascism is typified by totalitarian attempts to impose state control over all aspects of life: political, social, cultural, and economic, by way of a strong, single-party government for enacting laws and a strong, sometimes brutal militia or police force for enforcing them. Fascism exalts the nation, state, or group of people as superior to the individuals composing it, and uses explicit populist rhetoric. It calls for a heroic mass effort to restore past greatness, and demands loyalty to a single leader, leading to a cult of personality and unquestioned obedience to orders. Fascists typically advocate a strong military that is capable of both defensive and offensive actions. Uh, thanks for reiterating my definition of fascism. I addressed only the economic end of fascism as you were confusing it with communism, which has strictly an economic focus. The definition above only refers to Nazism which is an application of fascism, much as Stalinism or Maoism is an application of communism. However, this does not mean it ceases to be what it is--the defining aspects of both ideologies are socialism and the fact that you're somehow arguing that Stalin was NOT a communist is pure bunk. Lenin was also a dictator, are you going to argue that Leninism wasn't communism either? |

The problem with the whole thread is that Bush is a President, not a Dictator. He is not the reason we went to war. We have 3 branches of government. If Bush gets charged, so should the House and Senate. BTW I don't see a crime committed. QFT. Seriously, this hits the nail on the head. |

Why do our spineless Democrats let an incompetent, blundering executive branch hide hundreds of billions of war costs in sneaky "supplemental appropriations" that are more crooked than Enron's off-balance-sheet deals?
Oh, I don't know, maybe because they're part of the problem? |

I've thought about this as well, then considered that we could just do what every European country did to us after WWII. Forgive themselves of their own debt. What is China going to do? We may lose Taiwan and Tibet, but honestly, who cares about those people? That is some really ****ed up thinking. I thought you were one of the anti-interventionists on this board? You don't like intervention in Iraq, Afghanistan, or anywhere else, so why the different feelings when it comes to Tibet and Taiwan? Neither of those countries ("regions" if you're Chinese) are worth a collapsed American economy, just as Iraq isn't. |

most Americans dont have a clue about communist doctrine ...you wouldnt know a communist if it kicked you in the a$$....
Typical communist. In the event your opponent completely disregards your ideology, simply cite it as a lack of understanding when it comes to "communist doctrine." Are you also one of those people who dismisses Stalin's reign as a consequence of "not real" communism? That's always fun. Marx was a philosopher, Stalin was a dictator...see...? I know the difference between political ideology and facisim..do you? Wrong. Fascism is, essentially, a political ideology, and Stalin was not a fascist. The complete absence of private property in Stalin's Soviet Russia proves this. Fascism is the fabled "public-private partnership" where the individual owns property, but puts it to use for the state (or governing entity--this could theoretically be a corporation, hence Mussolini's term of "corporatism"). It doesn't matter though, as both ideologies are failed applications of socialism. |

America's Greatest Threat

I hope to see WarElephant's plan posted soon. Some sort of policy statement with specifics in the areas he's expressed concern about here. I wait humbly for your word sir. You mean you want to know exactly what I would do to remedy the situation? Too many places to start. Significant deregulation of the economy, less central planning, and an abolishment of the fiat monetary system would be a start. |

It would be easier to prosecute Bush for treason as it relates to SPP. He signed a damn treaty that was neither ratified by Congress, or had any oversight. That's a blatant violation of his oath.

Oh jeeze I suppose if you like being lied to, wageing wars on lies and nukeing the rest of the world slaughtering innocents I suppose the republican party is for you 
The war against Serbia was just as much a lie as the Iraq War, and that was perpetrated by Democrats. |

Are we not counting Native Americans? Our forefathers had no choice in their treatment of the Native Americans. The differences between us and them were inevitably irreconcilable to a great extent, and the social consequences later on would have torn this nation apart. They claimed it was their land, yet they missed a key point: it WAS their land. In the 1800s, we took it for ourselves, and they decided to resist. We did what any rational, sovereign nation would: we brought war upon them. You have to remember, this country was based on the works of classical liberals such as Locke and Hobbes, and the development of Lockian "fair use" doctrine (that is, the theory that unused property is an offense against nature) was grounds for the use of force. Thomas Jefferson made a very good case for this in 1802, stating that Native Americans would need to become either civilized and learn from their white brethren or they would, and I quote, "relapse into barbarism and misery, lose numbers by war and want, and we shall be obliged to drive them, with the beasts of the forest into the Stony mountains." It was an unfortunate circumstance, but we had no choice. |

For the record, I know all too well what the communist manifesto is all about. This person, OTOH...reveals it's own lack of intelligence about ANYTHING. All it knows is insults.
That's great you know about TCM, except Marx is not the only one who had a hand in creating communism. Everyone knows this. EDIT: I assumed you were referring to me. Apologies if you weren't. |

I see what exists. I see a world that is wrought with dangers and individuals who are on a mission to push agendas, a world where strength is the only real security. The world is just as dog-eat-dog as it was thousands of years ago, the difference is now we have guns instead of spears. History is written by the victors, and America doesn't tolerate losers.

Teach lessons??? by violence??? Ahh yeah that works..... NOT!!!
Oh, I don't know, it has a pretty good track record through history. Peloponnesian Wars? War of the Roses? French Revolution? Iberian Reconquista? WWII? The trick isn't whether or not violence works--it does. It's in what situations it's ethical. Every empire that reigned with force .....fell... historically proven... man is devolving in so many ways... governmental thinking is broke.... it needs fixing.
You are 4,000 years too late. The world does not change, nor will it ever, unless human nature under goes some sort of metaphysical change that completely defies the laws of the universe. Violence does NOT teach anything... fear is not a motivator in a positive way.
Of course fear is not a positive motivator. No one ever claimed it was. However, you'd be hard pressed to say that it doesn't work. |

War mongering has gotten America where it stands now in the world..looking over your shoulders, never sure of who is going to attack you next...any semblance of being a "world leader" (AKA bully), is because you sit on the greatest stockpile of weapons of mass destruction. Go home, peacenik. You need to grow up and join the world of adults. The fact you equate defense spending with warmongering shows just how far removed you are from reality. wow...funny boy..did you get the "peacnik" from one of your daddy´s war movies or was that your own John Wayne impersination..oh wait youre too young for Wayne, maybe Reagan??? 
Are you insulting my family's legacy? I've had immediate family members in every major war since World War I, including Iraq and Afghanistan, so seriously, please grow up. You're not even American so don't bother criticizing the policies of something that is (thankfully) out of your control. Resting on the laurels of your families legacy..while enjoying the fruits of their sacrifices??...and yet you claim to not admire GWB..funny because you are a lot like him..I really wish I could just ignore the US, really I do..but since you guys cant stay within your own borders and your poison, greed, and war mongering (not to mention all those WMD you sit on) threaten just about every other country on the planet...I criticize.. I say this again with all sincerity..I hope to live long enough to see the last McDonalds in my country burned down to the ground. Peace... Hilarious. You don't even know me or my family, yet you have no problem passing judgment on their deeds or my views based on your own sick, perverted world view. Of course, you simply deflect this blatant hypocrisy and idiocy by comparing me to the current farce of a president--real intelligent and consistent. No wonder you had to move out of America, anyone with half a brain would easily see you for what you are. |
