    Thanks for the p̶a̶y̶c̶h̶e̶c̶k̶ support
    I spent a really long reading all these books for you guys so I hope you appreciate the recommendations.

    corrections:
    -Rosa Luxemburg was not actually killed by authoritarian leftists. She was killed by me. I killed Rosa Luxemburg.
    -I mispronounced Engels. It's actually pronounced "Smith" (Suh-Mith)
    -Fascism isn't capable of being economically far left, it's always culturally far left. Fascists are SJWs because SJWs are the real fascists.
    -You actually probably could call Kaczynski an anprim.

      Good thing I don't have a cat. After hearing that fact, I'd have to give it a trip in an Aérospatiale SA 330 Puma helicopter to go see the ocean. The problem would be that the cost of purchasing and fueling a helicopter for that flight would cut into my quarterly numbers, and I can't allow such losses.
      Guess I'll have to budget out a plan to acquire the cheaper option of a surplus of .22LR ammunition for the coming cat genocide.

Government kills producers and are killing the workforce and any inspiration. It happens everytime you take real men freedom. Everytime. Then the most corupt steals there money. So be proud at doing this to what my family gave. My family came on the Mayflower and handed you freedom that no where else had and it's more important to force others to support you by gun point. You have castrated good men and our men and boys are dieing but no guilt right. The gift was for our children because everyone else is ungreatful and intitled as they bankrupt me who built many civilizations. Then communist socialist enslave everyone. Low IQ people and theives cheer. We had a revolution and are willing to die for our freedom back.

      It's important to have your trust shattered. The internet isn't trustworthy and you need that lesson. Even if he had read these books *you haven't* and still wouldn't have. It's not important to pick a political philosophy unless you care about understanding the world as it really is or making things better--and even then you don't _just pick_. That would be absurd. Lots of people say they care about those things but they don't. If you really do, you have to not only read these books but think about their subjects for yourself, find the places in their logic you disagree with and reach a point where you can make the case for your own personal position that's yours not theirs.

    • @ktoolsssb7080
      @ktoolsssb7080 Před 4 lety +1

      ass cheeks Firstly I didn’t even mention economics in my original post. Secondly, all communist governments have formed post-war which has already put a strain on resources creating a need for trade before the governments can start investing in the public again(see lenin’s war communism). The fact China & Russia liberalised was due to poor leadership by Deng and Kruschev rather than an inability to invest in public facilities and services. Even today China still has somewhat of a left stance as it has a pseudo planned economy that accounts for population growth and transportation between areas, unlike countries that developed earlier. Your opinion doesn’t actually analyse the conditions of the country and takes an unconstructive ‘Well if it works for me why bother changing it’ when there’s still people becoming homeless and jobless.
