Anti-Communism

[Blackleaf]

Two of my colleagues are going there for holiday next week, for holiday, for a while. I´ll have them check it out ;)

Countries known for their tourism tend not to be so great to live in. They exploit their own people, and their economy relies too much on foreign business.

Good point.

Che Guevara was really that bad?

I was at Gitmo years before it was turned into a daycare for bin Ladin's bad boys. Just another island. (We only left the base to have a gun battle with the Cuban Navy.)

I would say so, yes; what did he fundamentally achieve & what did it cost?

[Gawdzilla Sama]

I've killed a fair few Commies. Never bothered shooting at anybody going away from me.

Problem with communism is, its an idea not a system. And overall if you remove people you consider "upper class, threat" to that ideal system, then obviously that would mean the Communist party is the only party with no national elections or oppositions (you see the problem here right?). And another problem with Communism is, if nobody is getting paid or rewarded for something that requires more effort, then obviously people will just not see the point in working.

The closest to working is Social Democracy "Though i hate the Norwegian and Swedish model" i prefer Danish model, due to Centralized decentralized government + social democracy. Basically making work market more effecient. Whereas Norway and Sweden has Social Democracy part right, but its so centralized that its bureaucratic and depressing in comparison.

I admire Che though. I mean yeah the system he set up wasnt good. But interms of certain corruption removal of Cuba i atleast admire him more than i do Soviet Union and Communist China. Since atleast Che fought for something outside just power alone.

'70-'72 I converted a fair few commies to more peaceful viewpoints.

Ain't nothin' more peaceful than a dead man.

Sure, "something" - which would just lead to corruption and concentration of power.

At *best* he was an ignorant, blood-thirsty, misguided idealist... and I'm really stressing the "at best" part.

Bloodthirsty? Whom exactly did he kill? Do you have at least one source to point out to?

FDR didn't personally kill anyone I know of. Millions died in WW2.
