    And where will you be? Standing on the sidelines letting it happen, or will you be the one to pull the trigger?

      probably getting shot for not wearing enough religious flair. Any half decent strategist knows you only choose the quick path when you have overwhelming power.

      I would encourage Fascists and Marxist to destroy each other so the world can finally be free of these two parasitic ideologies.

            Sure beats Marxism and Fascism

            Rich… considering it’s coming from somebody who understands neither.

              There’s a 100% chance that I know more about than you… You know since I’ve actually studied both in college. But I’m sure an armchair professor such yourself with a PhD from Lemmy’s echo chambers knows better than my professors.

                Which college was that? Prager U, maybe?

                If you did, you’d actually sound as if you knew anything about the subject matter at hand.

                But you don’t - which means you didn’t.

                  Nope, a respected public University in New England.

                  If you did, you’d actually sound as if you knew anything about the subject matter at hand.

                  Your entire argument here boils down to “nuh-uh”, which is absolutely meaningless. If you have actual criticisms then stop beating around the bush and get on with it. Otherwise, I have no interest in whatever this is.

                    Oh really? A “respected public University in New England” taught you to think like a cheap Tucker Carlson knock-off?

                    Do tell… does this “respected public University in New England” do refunds?

                    I hope for your part they do.

              Well it’s quite simple really, you have three choices:

              Fascism: A failed murderous ideology in both theory and practice that has killed tens of million and has done nothing but bring tyranny, poverty, famine, hate, and genocide everywhere it went.

              Marxism: A failed murderous ideology in both theory and practice that has killed tens of million and has done nothing but bring tyranny, poverty, famine, hate, and genocide everywhere it went.

              Neoliberalism: A very flawed ideology that takes economic freedom to an extreme and puts too much faith in unregulated free markets.

              Sounds like a no brainer choice to me.

                  You can’t argue, period. Marxism can’t be argued for on its own merits. It needs fallacies, enemies, violence, and censorship to keep itself from collapsing.

                    What merits does Marxism have? What fallacies, enemies, violence and censorship does it use to keep from collapsing?

                    Yeah no shit it was because of the reforms the socialists implemented that they were able to eradicate poverty, not sure how that’s supposed to help your point.

                    Life expectancy nearly doubled while Mao was in power. that’s not “one of the biggest disasters in human history,” it was the single greatest improvement in quality of life on such a large scale in such a short time period ever.
