It's not my idea. The idea of communism as I describe it is at least as old as the 17thC, expressed this way by those that led the Civil War, and was developed by many left wing thinkers all the way to Marx and beyond. It is still live today and has many examples. Just because you can copy and past...

Yadda yadda, bla bla ..bla!! Please go elsewhere with your skitzo nonsense and babble!!

The idea of communism is to put the means of production in the hands of the people. It is for the state to capitalise and control the entire economy. When all the economic power is in the hands of a small number of people; this is capitalism. Mao's China was not "a little bit" capitalist,...

Where did I say Hex was a commie?

He's just making up bullshit, since he lost the argument.

as long as the economy is doing well Rump will win. however using history/elections as an example (Reichbug ruin the economy - are booted out, dems fix it, but too slowly so Reichbugs relectied and etc......dems fix the shit the bugs make, but to the time delay bugs get elected over and over.

China has always been capitalist. The model has been state-capitalism. Your comment is also wrong about Hong Kong, as if there was a cause and effect. China has never been communist. The change in the 20thC was from Feudal Capitalism with disparate control of resources through multi-cephalic fiefdo...

They are indeed still very communistic, but Imo they're still very capitalistic, even if it's just a ultra light version it's still better than what was before.

How very patronising. It's one of the oldest civilisations. If they haven't developed empathy by now then I really don't think I would make much difference. If it started to hit them in the pocket then that would be another matter. You always had your head very far up your ass, with communism they ...

It's not about right, it's about not knowing other alternatives. Maybe you should travel over there and teach them some animal rights.

Could it have anything to do with the revolting, filthy, and diabolically cruel live animal markets that are prevalent in China? One might even say that anyone who could think it's ok to boil and skin animals alive is reaping what they have sown. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1b/33/66/1b33660d3900...

I occasionally reach out to anyone interested doing a reading, interpreting of a serious work in philosophy. I like to read and study anyone from Kant to the present, even Derrida. I tend to shy away from analytic philosophy because, while helpful, I find it missing the point. Existentialism is fas...

It's been like 5 years since I read up on this, sorry too lazy to do it, but it should be easy to look up on youtube with people that debunks Jesus.

Interesting to know. By the way, what part of his miracles comes from Hinduism and what part of His philosophy comes from Buhhism? His healing of the sick, blind, dead etc, water to wine, walking on water ..yadda yadda ..bla bla ...bla!!! In buddhism you must give up everything for the sake of budd...

Why Jesus didnt convinced the judge? He put on a show, he only hung there for less than a day when you LEAST hang there for a week if not months! He did it to fulfil the messianic prophecy that the messiah would raise the 3rd temple in 3 days, which he didn't but only metaphorical, and all stupid, ...

"During a total lunar eclipse, the moon turns a reddish-orange color as it passes into the deepest portion of Earth’s shadow. Credit: NASA" If the moon were, "dark," you wouldn't be able to see it. Even during a total eclipse of the moon there is still what is called earth-shine...
