I'm willing to educate you to some extent if you're willing to ackowledge that that's what I'm doing. so: will you ackowledge that I am not arguing with you, but educating you? Even if you do want to blame those other countries, if socialism is so great then why can't its adherents ever overcome the influence of less socialist nations, hmmmm? because the US is the largest military power in the world, so it's very easy for them to impose their will on others. not sure exactly where France and Britain rank, but they're also very powerful Good. So socialism itself was at least partially responsible. this conclusion does not follow from anything that I previously said. you had arrived at the conclusion that socialism was responsible for the collapse of all those countries, before I even said anything. If you hadn't, you would not have arrived there this time It's almost as if giving people things regardless of the work they do is counterproductive. It's almost as if governments can't be trusted to redistribute wealth or have centrally planned economies. it's almost as though you don't know what you're talking about --- peanut butter and dick |
