National Socialism all the way and mitchell royce im checking it now thanks.

Really, it worked well in Germany.

The economy was excellent.

[QUOTE=neal_672]No, no it doesn't. It just unites EVERYONE in poverty. Would you be willing to lose lots of your money so as to be equally poor as someone else? Of course not so neither are they. The rich of our society are among the biggest givers to charity anyway giving millions a year, you can't ask for much more than that.[/QUOTE]
but the rich still keep enough to keep themselves rich
its not how much you give - its what percentage it is of the stuff you own that you give

Here it is again.

National Socialism was nothing more than a reaction towards Germany loosing WWI. It combined the radical and at the time very "hip" concept of Socialism with the knee-jerk national pride of Germans having to accept the War Guilt due to the Versaille Treaty and having Germany's economic resources drastically reduced.
Now, my reaction might be a little strong because I am a German and know what National Socialism resulted in. There is nothing wrong with being individually proud of one's heritage. It is absolutly insane and pointless to build a form of government around nationalism, though. Why on earth do you need to have your pride instilled through the government? I personally believe that pride should come from personal achievement. Why does one need to be proud of one's heritage?
No sane society is built on the concept of National Socialism. It will never lead to anything good, much like Communism only ever works theoretically. It will lead to hate and a horrible form of autocracy(because the people could never choose to not be a nationalist).
National Socialism is a belief form that has long ago become dated. It is completly irrelevant in the world that we live in now and cannot contribute in any way to making this world a better world to live in.
Yes, I believe in freedom of choice and a person's individual right to believe whatever (s)he wants to. National Socialism, though, is a choice that shouldn't even exist anymore.

I find it really difficult to believe anyone can think Communism is something that can realistically work as a ruling theory, it's a theory nothing more, nobody can put it into pracrtice without it falling into chaos and anarchy. It's a redundant politic practiced by few and successfully practiced by nobody.

Thunder Fingers 04-08-2005 04:52 PM

mmmm....

i dunno what you all complain about, i think y'all have it pretty good...

I'm beginning to think you don't even understand what communism is. EQUALITY if the rich stay rich that's not equality, everyone would have to be rich or everyone would have to be poor there is no leeway, EVERYONE would have a say in EVERYTHING as (in theory) there is no ruling body; even though basically every communist state ever has had a dictator or an unelected, permanent government...

true communsim is impossible as i have said - but the chinese have a working system based closely on communism - and china is the fastest growing economy in the world - in shipping they make $10bn/month profit trading with the USA - thats just shipping

im not saying thats communism - im saying thats how it is now and how it should be changed - to a version of communism - everyone works for the state who looks after them - the state is run by a democratically elected government elected every 4 years

Yeah but they deserved it :lol: even though it also caused WWII

Alternatively though Jaco Jr China is as i have said, overpopulated, disease ridden and generally poverty stricken except for the small minority in the ruling class who profit most from these mass profits of shipping. The country is exploited via sweatshops etc and does nothing for it's own people other than restrict them.

But then that's no longer communism that's just a slightly warped version of "democracy" i'm not even sure what you want, you say you don't want true communism yet ask for a version of it involving a ruling class, then call yourself a communist :confused:

That's the point your nan is generally better off than most people there and will only have seen the bits she paid for. They're obviously not going to show tourists the bad bits are they?

True...

Germany can never win World Wars, I've decided.:lol:

The US was actually giving Britain money and Germany money during WWI. They were giving Britain more, and they decided that it was best, commercially, for them to join sides with the Allies. They were never considered an Ally though. They were considered an "associate" power.

Germany just keeps on getting screwed.

neal_672 04-08-2005 05:03 PM

:lol: it's Germany's fault for attacking everyone :lol: Not srious here people!

tim_commerfordism 04-08-2005 05:03 PM

sorry its just im, well i dont think anyone understands, i think Mitchell Royce may do.

My grandmother, who was in the Hitler youth at the time, told me:

She knew nothing about concentration camps - but she did knew that the Jews were persecuted.

She had a great way of life.

She was tought musical instruments.

She got to go to the cinema for free.

She got free holidays.

Her family had a good source of income

Most Germans were(still are) VERY patriotic, myself being 3/4 Deutsch

but poverty shows through even if your not shown it - ive been to thailand and malaysia and singapore - kuala lumpur is a prime example - you have towering skyscrapers in a bustling financial centre - and down the side streets there are people so poor and hungry youd think theyre country had been hit by drought

Here in the states, the Iron Cross is very popular with the punk kiddies.

Mitchell Royce 04-08-2005 05:04 PM

Why do people want to be babied by the government? Communism demands that everyone hand over every single bit of the personal responsiblity and do what's best for the state.
I don't want the state to decide what's best for me. Ideally I would like to have as little to do with the state as possible. End of it.

No offense though but at the end of the day: your nan's opinion is not going to change my mind...

the French and UK for intimidating Germany.
