I think world peace can be achieved if humans wisely use the intellect and ability for social cohesion we have been gifted; promote different cultures and ways of life, allow free trade and open communication. — Jonmel
I was referring to the flippancy and even the hint of pride with which some talk of "bringing down the white man", and the implication that the globe is oppressed by a white regime while globally whites are a minority. Funny how one can be so subtle in one's vitriol: — whollyrolling
The main problems of communism are the slowdown of technological progress, and the reluctance of a small group of people to live as everyone else lives. Those who want to drive the Mercedes when everyone else driving the Ford. The first problem will fall off with Robotization and AI, the second will be solved with a strong hand and cold heart.I do have to ask what form of “communism” you’re talking about here? If you mean from Marx and Engels manifesto then, no is the only reasonable response. In an ideal world communism works without flaw, as does practically every other economic system. — I like sushi
I’ll start by making clear to you that Russia won’t join NATO for the simple reason that NATO exists to prevent Russia starting WWIII. If they were to join ... well, you can hopefully figure out how ridiculous that idea is by yourself? — I like sushi

The only reason Russia eventually joined the allied forces was because Hitler was psychotic enough to attack it. — whollyrolling
I'm not talking about a war for ideology, I'm talking about ruthless, psychotic dictatorship. Even at its most egregious, America didn't ruthlessly slaughter people by the 10's of millions. — whollyrolling

If globalism was allowed to run its natural course then all countries would essentially merge into being one. National identities would slowly be eroded until human civilization would become a mononculture. — Jonmel

Capitalists aren't usurping with the exception of money lenders, and even then there's a choice to go into debt or not, and there's a choice to purchase a product or not. Every time anything has gone seriously wrong in the modern world, it's been either communists, socialists or liberals at the forefront. — whollyrolling
