Right Wing Discussion Thread XV: A New Hoppe

[North German Realm]

Honestly, China. They've to actually produce some semblance of prosperity.

But the are Communist in name only, when actually practicing Communist theory they were a basket case.
They only became an economic power by dumping Communist economic theory.

Really they are closer to Fascism now.

Honestly, China becoming an economic power is a natural event. Their population, not to mention the natural resources that exist in the land upon which the Chinese live, means that the only way that -in a fair situation- they wouldn't be an economic power would be if they were grossly incompetent and did something ridiculously wrong (and let's not get into how Maoist China nearly did do that back when it was actually communist)

They... literally killed 50 million people...

That was only a famine started by Mao within a few years. It’s probably about 60 million, maybe more, and that’s just Mao. Considering how many people China has put in concentration camps since his death, it’s higher still.

Pinkos are always a threat to an agreeable and virtuous social order.

I think this was meant to be sarcastic, but it's not obvious enough whether it's tongue-in-cheek sarcasm or legit "communists are a threat to society" trolling. Given your track record, I'll let this off with just an Ominous Looming and a reminder that sarcasm does not convey well via text and to be more mindful of your wording.

My remark was more so tongue-in-cheek than sincere, and I intended it to come off more as playful banter than as a serious critique of communism or as bait to anger other posters. While I do believe that communism implicitly opposes the prevailing social order, an inextricable result of its advocacy for the abolition of class distinctions and hierarchical relationships, I would not employ the word "pinkos" in a serious critique of an ideology nor would I target communists themselves in a serious critique of their ideology. I have, in the past, made clear that I can engage in respectful and mutually cordial conversations on this subject - as many here can testify. That said, I do understand that my phrasing and playfulness may not have been conveyed adequately without some prior acquaintance with my style of posting. Thank you for your time and for your forbearance, Reppy. I'll try to keep your advice in mind.

Is the Right infighting? What did I miss?

Is the Right ever not infighting?...Lol

Here's a question for everybody: From the Right-Wing Point of View, which Communist Regime was best?

The short-lived Paris Commune

None of the above.

Fair, I should have clarified that. I'd rather live in modern China than any of the other socialist or communist regimes that have existed.

[Bear Stearns]

When given the choice, I think men prefer to work more than women, given absentee father rates vs. absentee mother rates.

Lot easier to skip out on a child when you don't have to physically be there for the birth. Not only that, but significant culture pressure is in effect there - absentee mothers are looked upon considerably worse due to the 'natural parent' myth.

How much of that do you think is cultural pressure vs. maternal instinct?

Hmm...I think East Germany. They were relatively tolerant compared to the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China in the same time period.

[Conserative Morality]

How much of that do you think is cultural pressure vs. maternal instinct?

Mostly cultural pressure. Prolactin and other such hormones involved in heightening of parental instincts are predominantly released during pregnancy, immediately after birth, and shortly thereafter. While it helps facilitate an emotional attachment, the increased release of hormones does not persist past a few months. While women have higher natural rates of prolactin and progesterone, the difference outside of pregnancy is fairly minor, and most studies regard the necessary increase for a statistically significant difference in parental behavior to be far above the natural average difference. Not only that, but exposure to infants causes male hormones to spike in a similar way.

Real talk, show them plebs Cicero, they should have pulled themselves up by their caligae straps like you

Also I can imagine some posters here agreeing with this

You're too nice, especially when it wasn't warranted in this case at all and they damn well know it.

For once, we are in agreement.

[Painisia]

Does OEP support the American Falangist Party or is he just apolitical in the context of the two-party system?

[Grenartia]

I swapped the images out because the first one didn't convey the idea I was trying to discuss. Apologies in that regard.
The 50s set the groundwork for what could have been a far greater American society, and like every decade that preceded it, there were obvious flaws (most of which still exist). The idealized version of it is something to strive for.

Reconstruction America best America

1976-77 America best America.

[Conserative Morality]

1976-77 America best America.

How many KKK members did Carter shoot?

Admittedly not many, though they weren't as significant of a political force at that time to necessitate shooting them en masse.

Better than modern America? That was a time when the KKK were formidable, and government literally had to keep the army in the South to keep them at bay.

That's the selling point for me tbh.

Who else would be doing the shooting if not the army? I don't want vigilantes doing the job.

What the fuck? It’s obvious the mods don’t and won’t consider any of this. They’ve gotten on my case twice for simple anti-communism. You can’t say ‘I don’t like commies’ now.

Maybe you don’t need to shoot them because they aren’t liberals.
