So basically what you’re saying is that you enjoy massacring innocent people.

Clearly, the answer is to go the way of the Revolutionary Government Junta of El Salvador and make voting compulsory on pain of death. I’m sure that if centrists, neoclassical liberals, and white moderates watched Oliver Stone’s Salvador, they’d think that that system is a great idea. If anything, they’d say that summarily executing people for lacking a voter permit is being too nice to them.

I promise that China will collapse tomorrow.

So?

So many replies to this topic are just ‘everything sucks because humans are horrible’.

I could understand a kid making angsty comments like that, but it’s just embarrassing when a grown-up does it.

Hardly anybody in this thread seems to have arrived at the conclusion that maybe some lower-class people have an interest in and nostalgia for the Eastern Bloc because capitalism is becoming increasingly intolerable.

It reminds me of the chumps who condescendingly explained to feminists that misandry is a serious problem on par with white supremacy and that not all men are awful. What a way to miss the point. Telling a lower-class person that communism is actually horrible doesn’t fix anything and neither does reminding an unhappy feminist that there are some good men in the world.

This reminds me of a game over screen from Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome, when the Roman player loses to the Hunnic CPU:

Your ineptitude has brought an end to 1,000 years of glorious history. Rome has fallen. The empire has come to an end. Welcome to the Dark Ages. The Huns are lauding you as one of their greatest generals.

In a ~~shouting match~~ debate with Norman Finkelstein, Rabbi Shmuley said the Winston Churchill defeated the Third Reich, which is funny because Churchill hisself said that the Red Army ‘t[ore] the guts out of the’ Wehrmacht.

It is part of the defense, yes, because our movements were responsible for achieving the concessions that the Fascists had to undo.

Nazism is a Capitalist response to left wing organization in order to violently suppress it, and ensure the existing ruling class does not lose power.

Well, not exactly. I can see why many of us have this oversimplified view of Fascism (it was my own for a while), but as respectable as our numbers were in the Kingdom of Italy and the Weimar Republic, we were still too minor to ensure a revolution. Rather, preventing capitalism’s collapse by any means necessary—saving it from its own contradictions—was the ruling class’s main motive for institutionalizing Fascism. Listen to this monologue by Michael Parenti or read Daniel Guerin’s Fascism and Big Business for the details.

If the Herzlians simply wanted to get rid of Hamas, they could have used a wide variety of less destructive methods to achieve that goal. See the psychological warfare of the Malayan Emergency for examples.
