2020 US General Election Thread V: Pandemic Postpones Polls

[The World Capitalist Confederation]

Ah yes, the famous left-wing ideology that put communists in concentration camps!

Daily reminder, actual communists put communists on concentration camps for being the wrong flavor of communist.

Gulags were closer to American prisons than they were to the Nazi concentration/death camps.

Over 1 million political prisoners were killed during the Holocaust.

Well, since an anonymous guy on the internet said so without evidence... I'm convinced.

516,841 deaths vs 12-20 million.

And apparently, some of the former can be attributed to a lack of food IN GENERAL, so I think we can safely say that the gulags weren't death camps. Also, according to the author of the Black Book of Communism - a source which is highly anti-Soviet, so the numbers here ought to be taken with that in mind - said that the death toll ranged from 1% to 20%, with the 20% being in the aforementioned famine.

Man that's nothing compared to the 77 million killed under China.

12-20 million didn't die in concentration camps, so I'm not sure what you think you're comparing here. The entire Holocaust vs. just deaths in Gulags seems a bit deceptive.

Honestly if the GOP adopted left wing economics in general while still keeping to right wing social and cultural views I feel like they'd be perfectly in touch with the average American. I doubt it'll happen for a while because the Pauls and co. of the party would rant and rave about it, but it'd be a winning strategy.

So fascistic beliefs? No thanks

fascism is economically right-wing

I mean, it's literally the original definition that pro-republican capitalists are liberal.

You live in a county, and yet there is no count.

Fascism is strange. They nationalized a bunch of stuff and expanded welfare programs, but did so to build bigger militaries with which to take over the world, not to bring about a communist society. It's economically left-wing, but with right-wing militaristic goals.

Every economic action of fascist regimes was done to bolster the military.

The Nazis still had direct control of industry even with the facade of privatization.

Okay, grandpa. That’s enough monarchism for today.

You young whippersnapper you! Back in the good old days we'd stop in walking uphill in the snow to school to salute our local nobleman!

They had public school back then? What’d you learn, dinosaur?

Canings, mostly. But otherwise grammar, formal logic, and natural sciences- how the sun goes about the earth and animals can be categorized as to their cause of motion and humoric imbalance causes disease and so on.

It’s hard for a government to be very authoritarian without controlling the economy, hence why Putin keeps the command economic style

Pinochet proves my point. He fell after liberalizing the market, when he was forced to call elections after the plebiscite, it was largely due to pressure from market forces

he was economically right-wing all along and still managed to commit grotesque acts of authoritarianism

Yet he was forced to step down largely due to the free market, which enforced my claim that authoritarian regimes cannot coexist with a free market

and hitler was forced to step down by stalin, which means that authoritarian regimes cannot coexist with communism, clearly

Totally, and I do mean totally fascinating but nothing to do with the topic. I'm sure you agree.
