You do remember how many people communists kill, including in their own countries and even during peacetime?
Quite a few. Yet so has every government.
100 million dead in peacetime.
Again. We are talking about China’s threat to the United States people.
Yes…I know. I did much of my history degree in Asian studies. It seems as though you fear the Chinese government more then the United States government. Is this a correct observation?
Are you talking about the Chinese Communist government or the Chinese people?
At this point? No, I’m more afraid of the Commies in our own government ![]()
What I’m warning against is becoming completely compacent just because they’re more market oriented now.
The people in government are more akin to fascists then communists.
They just do it more slowly.
Actually fascism and communism are two divergent paths that lead in different directions.
Are you talking about Italian facism or German national socialism?
Both are Fascism. Admittedly not 100% similar.
You know, I don’t really care what the label is as long as it leads to permanent increase in government control and less personal freedom.
Well, can I convince you that details matter?
That would be off topic but you’re welcome to open a new discussion.
My original point was that it doesn’t make sense to completely dismiss the possible threat of foreign occupation or subversion. Especially if your own government collaborates with them.
And there’re self-avowed communists amond Obama’s friends and appointees.
Also, check the story of the Falun Gong. This is happening now, in the supposedly pro-capitalist China.
Why do you keep on posting propaganda ? And nobody said that China is ‘pro-capitalist’ whatever that means.
Is propaganda something you don’t agree with?
What is it that I don’t agree with ? I’m sure there are human rights violations everywhere. For instance in amerikkkan prisons. Maybe you should comment on those ?
