I think war is bad but what can we do about facism?
same thing as you do with socialists and communists…
kill 'em all
-Imp
This isn’t a black and white question, so I can’t answer yes or no.
While war may be bad, there are times when it is necessary. And no, I’m not talking about Iraq.
Hello
War does have a good side. Like…
WWII was horrible but wasn’t there some depression that America was pulled out of by WWII?
Huh? You mean socialist and communitst kill everybody or to kill all socialist and communists?
EZ$
exactly… kill all totalitarians- especially the communists and socialists…
-Imp
While socialist and communist totalitarians do exist, it does not necessarily follow that socialists, or communists for that matter, are totalitarians.
Also, there is such a thing as capitalist totalitarians…
-Imp
But i think communism is how underdeveloped countries become organized and developed.
no, that is how they are corrupted…
-Imp
Really…
[b]Democratic socialism is a broad political movement propagating the ideals of socialism within the context of a democratic system. In many cases, its adherents promote the ideal of socialism as an evolutionary process resulting from legislation enacted by a parliamentary democracy. Other democratic socialists favor a revolutionary approach that seeks to establish socialism by creating a non-parliamentary democratic system, usually based on workers’ councils or similar organizations.
Many of those who describe themselves as “socialists” often argue that socialism necessarily implies democracy, thus making “democratic socialism” a redundant term. The fact that one specific movement is called Democratic Socialism does not mean that other branches of socialism must be any less democratic.[/b]
name the specific state you describe
it doesn’t exist.
-Imp
Oh now we have gone from specific people to specific states?
My point was that not all socialists are totalitarian. I already proved my point.
you have only proven that they do not exist
-Imp
Whetever Imp, you claimed that all socialists were also totalitarians; not that all “socialist” states have been totalitarian. You were proven wrong.
you never produced a socialist that wasn’t a totalitarian.
you proved nothing
-Imp
Yes he did… at least I think
