Thread: Nelson Mandela 'Proven' To Be Communist Party Member, After Decades of Denial

  1. #31
    The vast majority of us here couldn't fathom the amount of tyranny, prejudice and persecution this man and his countrymen have had to endure. Communistic ideals were those ideals which finally could get them free from the evils of discrimination and the shackles of slavery. We may not agree communism is the best political ideology and certainly not the ideal way to come to freedom and individual liberty, but it can be, it can be a step towards it when what it is leaving is a far more tyrannical ideology. More significantly, it happened to be the only way which finally worked for them, as imperfect as it was.

    Can you substantiate this and include evidence that the posters were, in fact, "free-market, libertarian"? Yes, I cropped your quote since being a little bit libertarian is like being a little bit pregnant. Don't forget to find the money quotes: "greatest of all human beings".

    That's not my question. Is genocide better or worse than communism? Or does it depend on something?

    Thanks for showing up. It's not worth my time to play games with you, but my carefully chosen words have flushed out those that prove my point.

    No, it's not a trick question.

    Since you say the USUALLY get into the geno biz, what if they don't? Is a country that is commie but no geno better or worse than a country that goes geno but not commie? Or is there something that determines it, do you know?

    Why can't you just admit either they are equally bad or you don't know?

    Genocide is okay when *we* do it.
    In New Zealand:
    The Coastguard is a Charity
    Air Traffic Control is a private company run on user fees
    The DMV is a private non-profit
    Rescue helicopters and ambulances are operated by charities and are plastered with corporate logos
    The agriculture industry has zero subsidies
    5% of the national vote, gets you 5 seats in Parliament
    A tax return has 4 fields
    Business licenses aren't a thing
    Prostitution is legal
    We have a constitutional right to refuse any type of medical care

    To be more accurate: it's ok for the Republicans when Bush does it, it's ok for the Democrats when Obama does it.

    I believe my last statement is a closer definition to hell.
    Of course they would. I have a couple white friends I stayed in touch with as well, and they agree with your friends. Under apartheid, it was hellish for blacks. Without apartheid it's hellish for whites.

    Should the white people keep the native blacks as their servants by force? Is that moral? Or is it moral for them to leave them alone and stay off their land?

    Nelson Mandela is so evil that when his term ended he became dictator for life and......oh wait a minute, that was just about every other post colonial president in Africa. Nevermind.

    And how is this in the least bit relevant?

    OOOh,, the Red Scare.. (where in a bunch of Socialists (or fascists) point fingers at "communists")

    I am no more in favor of Communism than I am Socialism. I see very little difference in practice.
    And the Sad Fact is,, the US has been a socialist country for 100 years,, along with the rest of the world.

    Another reality is that there has never been a communist country,, and there never will be.
    It is contrary to human nature and will never exist outside of philosophical writings.

    So again,, how is this relevant?
    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    On the small scale, it has worked for short periods of time in kibbutzim, communes and cults. Of course those experiments all fail over time. But there's a sucker born every minute...

    I read it Drake and I am open to reading more. I certainly am no expert on the subject. Maybe it will cause me to change my current opinion on the subject. Because I haven't been so adamantly against some of the colonialists. That is, if they brought development, sanitization, electricity, food and jobs to areas of undeveloped countries that had none and if the people could choose whether to work for them or not.

    They wouldn't have had to use force and oppression if they showed up on the shores and offered them something good or desired. It's also social engineering to the nth degree--and we all know how well that usually turns out.
