Unlike how real Socialism has never been tried, those that have tried Capitalism doesn't have over a 250 Million person death toll on its head when it fails...or to maintain power.

My favorite retort when confronted with this fact is when they try and blame the Native American genocide, Atlantic slave trade, and Holocaust on capitalism.The Conservative wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2019 8:59 amUnlike how real Socialism has never been tried, those that have tried Capitalism doesn't have over a 250 Million person death toll on its head when it fails...or to maintain power.

Re: Europe, Boring Until it's Not
Perhaps you need a history lesson, slave trade was due to the Islamic Africans selling off the losers to a willing market, the US was in it for such a short amount of time it is laugahable. But let facts not get in your way.

And the US didn’t do any more genocide than they did to themselves. Before we showed up they were on a good clip of killing themselves off.
And Holocaust on Capitalism? You mean the way the Germans tried to blame everyone else for why they went Helter Skelter on people? Come on, you can’t be that gullible?

The literal state of Britain. LOL
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/0 ... ttlefield/A soldier has been formally charged after “losing his rag” during a virtual battlefield exercise and killing his comrades.
The Edinburgh-based Army rifleman is believed to be the first soldier to be punished under UK military law for offences in a virtual scenario rather than in real life.
He is said to have been fed-up with being stuck at a computer rather than training outside.
A source from 3rd Battalion, the Rifles told the Mail on Sunday: “We'd spent two weeks sitting in front of laptops pretending we were in a really hostile urban environment - I'd challenge anyone to take it seriously for that long.
“All this was taking place in an office at our headquarters, when we'd rather be doing real-life soldiering outside in the fresh air. But there's less of that sort of exercise these days because the Army has committed to Unit-based Virtual Training.
“We were supposed to imagine we were travelling in armoured vehicles through a really hostile built-up area. One of the lads just lost his rag and ‘opened fire’ as it were, killing the soldier next to him.
“He then drove down the street deliberately smashing into cars. It's safe to say the officers in our battalion did not find it as funny as we did.”
The unidentified Rifleman was reprimanded after the exercise and later formally charged with disobeying orders.
His reputed punishment was to spend a weekend carrying out guard duties at the 3 Rifles base at Redford Barracks in the Scottish capital.
A Ministry of Defence spokesperson said: “We take the training of our service personnel very seriously and anyone who is disruptive to this training will receive disciplinary action.
“Virtual reality training programmes are able to deliver greater flexible training and replicate complex scenarios allowing for rapid experimentation, development of tactics and ability to test new vehicles in multiple environments.”

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Re: Europe, Boring Until it's Not
devils advocate would it be more fair to blame the military industrial complex for mass death and war in the past few decades? sounds to me more like corporatism than capitalism per se, but that argument would go further with me than blaming native american genocide and the like on capitalismCalifornia wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2019 5:27 amYeah, I agree with you, not the retards who blame all of those on Capitalism.The Conservative wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2019 6:03 pmPerhaps you need a history lesson, slave trade was due to the Islamic Africans selling off the losers to a willing market, the US was in it for such a short amount of time it is laugahable.
