Paul,

Runaway socialism is even more rapacious. Those at the top look after themselves very well and bugger those at the bottom which is why socialism fails again and again.

Capitalism is the engine that drives the world while socialism is at best the brakes.

Mr 0,

Given that you so desperately suck at history, no one in their right mind would accord you any deference or respect in this field.

Hi Joe,

I must quote the old man here, as I've said in the past he was a Langite, (supporter and friend of Jack Lang), he never refereed to the Soviet Union as Communist, but rather as Bolshevik, what he seen as a twisted and corrupt form of socialism. The list of countries you put up previously, the common denominator seems to be they were all, failed basket cases to begin with.

Pure communism, presents as a Utopian state. Of course it does, as I said its nothing more than a unreachable fanciful ideal. Imagine if China tried to turn itself into a Utopian communist state overnight, what utter chaos would ensue.

Dear Hassy, in answer to your nonsense; communism no more appeals to Greens as does fascism appeal to LNP voters, although you are an exception. I still recall your idea of nuking 200 million men, women and children in Pakistan on the pretext of "getting them before they get us", still hold with that idea?

Shadow Minister,

You just told me:

"Given that you so desperately suck at history, no one in their right mind would accord you any deference or respect in this field."

What qualifies you to make that assessment? Please don't embarrass yourself by telling us it is because you are an engineer.

Misopinionated,

Shadow Minister is quite right. By your own logic, you should stick to environmental sociology once you've finished your TAFE certificate in it, and leave the important issues to the bigger kids.

Why do you persist in this infantile 'I've got more than you, nyah ! nyah !' trolling ? It doesn't impress: you come across as nothing but an annoying little fart.

Joe

Mr 0,

I have just demonstrated that I am an engineer that knows more about history than you do. It must suck for you to be such a failure at history.
