First paragraph states:
I need to read more? I read a lot thank you. Perhaps you should read further in the thread past that post to see that I noted that that was merely an excerpt from Bill O’Reilly’s talking points memo. It is linked on the previous page so I will not bother to post another.
No mention of communism.
Communist mass-murder is no different from any mass-murder. That is the point. As an example, the Soviet Union, Stalin ordered the deaths of millions, though none of it was documented. I stand behind my statement that communism is illegitimate. It is illegitimate because it fails, as an economic system, it fails. Period. The government ends up owning everything and abusing its power while forcing its will on citizens. This ultimately led to mass-murder in the Soviet Union. It is wrong. Stop defending countries’ so-called right to kill their citizens and get away with it.
No, it is not a legitimate idealogy. It is fundamentally flawed. The most liberal of people admit this. Oh, and BTW, by illegitimate, I don’t mean illegal, I mean illogical. It is in no way illegal, perhaps if you had read what I had said, you would see that I said this: I defend the right to feel that way, but I do not defend mass-murder, or the choice to commit mass-murder– as these societies did.
The point of this paragraph is to fuel a flame-war. Mods aren’t supposed to do that. My positions are this: America will NOT wait for the UN before it acts against terrorists. My rant in the previous posts requires no other explanation because those numbers are real. While other countries played a big role in many of those operations, America played the largest. Without America, the majority of those operations would have failed. End of story. Can you comprehend that?
However, you fail to elaborate on positions of yours that accuse me of lying. You have failed to provide reason as to why I was being unfair in comparing the US to other countries. You have failed to provide this so-called other side of the story– not because it isn’t worth it, because you don’t have the other side. You have failed to explain why the BBC is biased against America. (I don’t expect you to actually, you don’t live in the UK and clearly haven’t seen much outside media) You are a hypocrite when you say that illegal activities will not be applaused in your forum and then you defend communism as an ideal philosophy.
You may have read the whole thread, but you misinterpreted it. There are multiple meanings to the word illegitimate. The one I use when referring to communism is the fact that it is illogical. Otherwise, I would have contradicted myself, which I did not. After reading this thread, it seems like you support communist society. I feel that you are allowed have your beliefs, though I do not agree with them. Communism is legitimate in the sense as legal, however, it is illigitimate in the sense of logics, thus it is illogical. You may support fascism and communism, though I am not sure as you have misinterpreted the meaning of illigitimate, and I doubt you would. This isn’t a debate as-is, can we keep it less hateful?
I live in a free society, me being from the US. For me to say communism is illegal, would yes, be against my constitution and I would have contradicted myself many times over. Try re-reading it with illogical. I am entitled to my opinion that communism is illogical, right? I’ve backed it up with facts and examples.
