If you believe the Cambodians were communists, you have to believe that the nazis were.
I mean, Hitler very clearly wrote in Mein Kampf that he DID take inspiration from socialism, except that, like all other communist dictators before or after him, he thought that HE had found the missing ingredient to make it work.
Literally took years of capitalist economics in high school and college, it is one of the reasons I’m a communist.
Hah, imagine getting a “capitalist” education from people who don’t have to worry about their own job security because they have tenure. Isn’t that just like getting a communist education from a Wall Street CEO?
Chinese feudal landlords didn’t believe in socialism, that didn’t stop the communists from doing land reform.
Yes. The secret ingredient was (and always is) called violence.
By definition revolutions involve violence.
Okay, at least you’re honest enough to admit that.
Are you condemning the capitalist revolutions that threw off the monarchies? The status quo involved comparatively massive amounts of violence then, and it does now.
Yes, I condemn all violence, capitalist or otherwise. But I honestly don’t experience capitalism as particularly violent. My biggest successes all came through non-violent means, by educating myself and improving my technical and people skills. Amazingly, it turns out that if you’re willing to learn what others will pay you for, more often than not, they’ll actually just hand you money without you having to make any threats about taking over their whole company.
