You can call them worse than that. When western people think of communism, many think of cold war themes: that Stalin may have killed 20m and Mao a lot more. That's awful, and could easily be true
But let me tell something no one else has told you: in 1960 the average life expectancy in India and China was 40. But in China in 1979 it was 69, and the number of excess deaths in India over China in that period is estimated at 4 million per year. Yet China is communist and India is capitalist. Four million a year for 19 years is a chunk of humanity The fault of capitalism? I think so. When the British were in India, up to 35 million died in preventable famines & massacres, and it's all documented. Admittedly, it happened over 200 years, but it dosn't change the fact that capitalism far exceeds communism in murderous consequences |

By contrast, Communists killed off their OWN people in droves - worse, they were killing off mostly peasants, the very people their ideology was sworn to succor and protect. It was the ultimate in hypocrisy.

But one does not slaughter one's own people by the millions and expect them to maintain love for government and country. The British Empire lasted a lot longer than the Soviet Union did. Quote:
Practically, a scythe is useful these days for chopping weeds. Not much else. Unless you are playing out some sort of Tolstoy-esque agrarian fantasies in your home-grown wheat field.

But my lawn has almost totally disappeared since 15 years, because I let the local meadow taking the advange. It's better for the biodiversity. Now I've got a lot of insects in my garden, when my neighbours have dead silent gardens. Quote:
Colonialism = the exploitation of the man by the man. Communism = an egalitarian society. Don't you see the difference? How can you peacefully develop an egalitarian society, when unegalitarian monsters don't want to share their wealth and are ready to commit crimes to maintain their exuberant privileges? |

When and why, then, it became normal for one part of herd to not only exploit but annihilate fellow humans? Was it the division of labor? Today we have 7 bln people, each with his own ideas on how to live? Not sure. Was it personal character differences - greedy leaders vs coward apathic masses? But aren't laws created precisely to curb these differences. |

Living in Switzerland in presumable alpine type conditions, you can make all these cute moral decisions, but elsewhere, if you don't keep the wild things well away from your domicile, you are asking for trouble. Manual push mowers are really tiring to use, no wonder your lawn has been shrinking. Get one of the new battery/electric ones. When you get much older, that push mower is likely to give you a heart attack. Quote:
A million years ago, an apeman was likely to run up to the apeman chief and grunt "Hey, Oog! Strangers eating our mushrooms and nuts over by the waterfall trees!" And Oog would gather the other males and they'd run over there and bash the other intruding apemen with coconuts to chase them away from their precious food supplies. Nations and colonialism are simply outgrowths of that behavior. "My King, we have discovered a new tribe called the Zulu in the wilds of Africa! Let's bash them over the head with coconuts and steal their land and gold and diamonds!" Or something like that. There were no communist cavemen. Only modern humans have the brainpower to think up such a fantastical fantasy as communism.

Because in current society, those who 1) make decisions, 2) execute orders, 3) rip profits are entirely different people!! And they constantly highlight their difference. They can, and do, oppress each other. Nothing is common. Then why a society is still there? Why managers rule firms in the name of absentee owners faithfully instead of just usurping the firms? Military is another matter. Just think of it - the army holds all the weapons...yet exhibits no political voice!! It is fully, totally obedient to a bunch of "community leaders" many of whom cannot even use a handgun. This is beyond comprehending. Last edited by Enrico32; July 27th, 2018 at 07:08 AM.. |
