Off Topic » in reply to Economic systems v. political systems

Still trying to sell that old wheeze, huh?

Every single nation ever organized around the communist/Marxist "economic" system ended up not only as an economic failure, but a totalitarian hellhole. 100 million people have died in the learning process. Regardless of race, language, culture, geographical location, resources, or any other factr that normally affects a nation's makeup.

At some point even the most brilliant political philosopher would have to realize that a pattern exists.

When somebody keeps selling you automobiles that explode--every time--it doesn't really matter if he offers five-hundred page scientific reports proving that the automobile's basic design has nothing to do with the explosion. At some point people with common sense will stop buying cars from this guy. Changing the car's name from the Communist to the Progressive might work on a few people. Not many, though.
