Anti-Socialism Thread

[Bear Stearns]

The Prague Spring was an anti-socialist, anti-communist, anti-Soviet, pro-democracy uprising that was literally crushed by the Red Army.

Do you know anything about the Prague Spring? It began when Alexander Dubček announced a new direction dubbed "Socialism with a Human Face". It was not anti-communist, just as the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 was not anti-communist either.

Well the Soviets called them "fascist reactionaries" to justify killing them.

Yes, the Soviets are known for their accurate and reasonable descriptions of their political enemies lol

Kind of reminds me of another group of violent degenerates who thinks calling someone a "fascist" means it's okay to kill them.

Too bad this is all going to end in a relatively short span of time, as far as historical time is concerned. The American empire is, like its predecessors, destined to fall, and in its wake a new Asian empire will most likely emerge. Indeed, a future led by the East, in general, and by China, in particular, is considerably plausible, and a geopolitical affront to the winners of the Cold War is not a mere hypothesis of imminent verification, but an ineluctable fact.

America won't fall anytime soon. There are millions of armed patriots here in the States who will fight tooth and nail to keep their values, ways of life, and freedoms from being taken away from a foreign entity like China. The American people are much more resilient than you think. THE USA will never die as long as the people are still alive.

Fall doesn't imply being taken over. More like stagnant and losing its edge the same way Russia and Japan aren't intimidating nations as they once were.

The USA can pull a France and keep being a Great Power with nostalgia of its superpower days, or it can pull an Argentina believing it can tariff itself into prosperity before being the first and only 1st world country to fall back into developing status. It's very likely we're going for Argentina's path more than France's

The term "degenerate" has always been popular with Third Reich propagandists and the neonazi/alt-right hordes in order to describe anyone not like them, so there are quite a few possibilities.

[Wink Wonk We Like Stonks]

the anti-socialism thread has become the socialism thread. it seems socialism is contagious, especially in social situations.

Can't say I'm surprised to be honest

they should have just complained about socialism in the socialism thread and made a separate thread to talk about capitalism, assuming that they even wanted to talk about capitalism instead of complaining that their autumn harvest was seized by the state, and used to make bread for the people.

You clearly did not get my point.

I find your comparison strange because, out of these three countries, Argentina, rather distinctly, is not a world power (nor was it ever). Your analogy is made even more peculiar if you consider that the factors that led to the disruption of Argentine economic life are political in nature. It is something that was carried out essentially due to the inherent political instability that closely follows all Hispanic republics in Latin America. The capital's centralism, which is an intimidating presence throughout the country's history, and is the driving force behind Argentinian border expansion and the progressive colonization of regions like Patagonia (Argentina is basically Buenos Aires on steroids, that's what I always say), is reminiscent of Hispanic American caudillismo. Furthermore, one does not find in this unfortunate regression that occurred alongside 20th century developments in politics the characteristic of decadence, but rather a certain return to normality; a chaotic normality, yes, but a normality, nevertheless.

"War crime" is a buzzword.

Probably because you support what the Soviets did

I guess Eisenhower and all US WW2 veterans are "violent degenerates" now.

1. Not really - the movement is muted or impotent in most countries.
2. Doesn’t really matter whether they “should”, since they’ll do it anyway if the circumstances require it.
3. Up to you, really. Many would argue that the time is always.

The biggest argument against socialism is probably that socialist policies are detested most vehemently by the working class themselves. UK working people swung heavily in favour of the Tories this past election. 30% more of America’s white working class voted for Trump than did Hillary. By my experience the majority of avowed socialists these days are people who come from upper middle class families.

On cultural issues, not economic ones.

...I’m sorry do you think Hillary Clinton was socialist?

This is false.
