The cost of communism/socialism?

Incalculable. What is the cost of one life cut short? Multiple that by at least 100 million.

What is the cost of one nation being led to economic ruin by following these disastrous policies? Multiple that by 40 or so for all the nations who fell into the tender mercies of the socialists.

What is the cost to the non-communist world of being forced to combat the Comintern to ensure their societies weren't forced down this disastrous path?

Socialism was a 20th century tragedy that made the 14th century Black Death (which wiped out up to 50% of Europeans) seem like a gift from God.

In the end socialism was an error by the 20th century intellectual classes. And they continue to make the error.

Despite Belly's know -nothing claims that its all a figment of Trump's imagination, the fact is that those who (wrongly) consider themselves the intellectual elite, are indeed working to revive this religion which ought never be revived. They only way they manage that is through the moronic thinking of those like Belly who think that learning or thinking about communism is unnecessary. People have forgotten the disasters of the USSR or Mao. They need to relearn it - and quickly.

Has anyone considered we here are becoming a right of reality place
That haters flock here to damn any one whois not from the very right
Why ask you say, well you would be right, it is so certain the answer is yes that asking the question is time wasting
Look at the middle east, the mass murders by Muslims of other Muslims
Then America, see Trump's war on the international court of justice
Because they are investigating American Armed Forces actions there
Play your 1950,s reds under the bed games But just behind China America is a very real danger to world peace

I wonder if Belly would be willing to "pick up a gun for communism" like so many of his compatriots. Would Foxy or Paul1405 or SteeleRedux. You never think it's going to happen till it does.

It's somewhat amusing to think of Foxy on communist picket with an AK47 and fatigues on Bourke St Mall within sight of the location of the Melbourne muslim stabbing and defending against white British gaijin (outsiders), gwai-low (foreign ghosts), and infidels (non believers).

With Belly it's all about union membership. Nothing else matters. That unions have been contributors not only to financial gain for the selected but also a road to ruin for the nation's economy doesn't appear to bother him all that much, as long as ruinous policies & tactics are kept alive !
Makes me wonder how much he cares about those who don't pay union fees because they can't afford to ?

With China in front, America behind, Islam on the right, the unions on the left and the reds beneath, all that we have left is to look up and shout to our Father in Heaven.

Alas, the skies too are now full of drones, cameras and human-generated electromagnetic vibrations from gadgets designed to take away our independence and innocence.

Fortunately, one can still find God within one's heart.
