I gotta say that I love your Avatar as well, it always makes me smile!thenumberthirteen said:
My avatar is the Montreal Canadiens logo. They are an NHL hockey team and are doing quite well in the playoffs right now, giving the previous champions a run for their money!
That's what it is?!Hubilub said:
I thought it was some sort of vinyl record that tried to hypnotize me into maiming and eating my cat. Oh well, cats can be replaced, I suppose.
Anyway, my avatar is a maniacal Vault Boy just looking for Soc to stab. And then we'll all cut our hair and read Gone With the Wind. BUT WAIT: One of us will suffer a back injury whilst saving children from a burning church! And Dally will go crazy and try to rob a convenience store! He shouldn't have been carrying that heater, even though it wasn't loaded, the police still got him! AND THEN JOHNNY! JOHNNY DIED! "Stay gold, Ponyboy" were the last words he said to me...
And the worst part is...
...my name isn't fucking Ponyboy.
+8,000 Internets if you understand what the Hell I just said.
But America killed heaps of people too... and Britain, and France. Their own people too. So the question is "how bad"? It's all relative.ethaninja said:Sooo... communists are bad then? I sorta stopped reading once you said they killed heaps of people. So thats all the explanation I needTreblaine said:Well, during the cold war I'd have supported blue team but now it's all said an done there is that "communist chic" thing, like nazi chic only not as bad.ethaninja said:Why do people look down on communism? From what I've read from a wikipedia entryTreblaine said:godzilla494 said:
Stalin sez: "Yeah... I was a commie before it was cool"
Not a commie myself, but a big fan:
-great technological/scientific establishments: Check
-punch above their weight: Check
-universal healthcare: Check
-terrify conservatives: Check
-kills nazis better than any: Check, and double-check
Come on Call of Duty 7, let me play as Spetznaz >
See "communism killed" millions of people out of pure incompetence (yeah, collectivisation is kinda dangerous if you screw it up) and is really hard to get as indignant about compared to the calculated, secretive and deliberate extermination of entire races of people purely out of delusions of racial supremacy and hatred as dem damn nazis did.
And why do people hate commies? Because they hate LIBERALS who traditionally were deferring and "soft" on the Soviet Union, and all the accusations of alleged similar ideology (bollocks in my view), people call Obama a communist as an insult and are dumb enough to think it means something post Cold War.
I'm not that crazy about Obama, but I think it's great seeing internet-commies take on internet-republicans. I look to China as my ideological model, I'll cherry pick the ideologies that work, and leave the ones that don't.
I mean liberals REALLY suck. You know in the Soviet Union (Russia at least), citizens could own semi-automatic weapons for self-defence... but not in most Liberal Democracies (America is what I'd call a Libertarian Democracy if not just the Wild West).
Hell one of the reasons the SU had so many amazing snipers in their Great Patriotic War was how common civilian firearms ownership was and the marksmanship tradition with that.
Communist were "bad" but seriously, lighten the fuck up, this is the internet, there is one designated internet bad guy and that is Hitler and the Nazi Party. Mussolini is lucky if he gets invited onto the hate wagon.
I don't know, maybe somewhere along the lines Communism became America's mortal enemy. Like a Professor Moriarty to America's Sherlock Holmes, a Cobra Commander to America's GI-joes, James Bond's Blowfeld.
Embrace the communist chic, you have to admit commie weapons systems kick some serious ass and it is the communist Soviet Union we should largely thank for fighting and defeating around 80% of the German armed forces in World War 2.
just remember, keep an open mind... though not big enough for you brain to fall out.
I think one Russian summed it up as: "we're not communist any more, I'm glad we aren't any more, but I'm also glad that we were"
I think it's similar to us Brits and the loss of our Empire, yeah it had many injustices and you could argue that it was fundamentally wrong but you have to remember the good times and hope the world is better off in the long run.
WRONG!
Hmmm... I guess I need more than a one word post. Ummm... I really like the song "Wrong".
