Neither do I, I apologized, made it explicit that I edited the posts, and never denied making them. I’m a dick, but at least make accurate accusations.mrussel1 said:
Cincy doesn't just edit his post and pretend like it didn't happen. He stands by what he says, in my experienceecdanc said:
Attacking someone’s parenting is pretty bad in my book, but to each their own.mrussel1 said:
You could say it, but doesn't mean it's true. We all know Cincy here. He's with us all the time. He managed not to annoy a slew of people in his first 48 hours around.ecdanc said:

It's not a trick, it's a fact that communism has not been successfully implemented. Even in China, it is a shell of what Marxism was, and more closely aligned with state manipulated capitalism. The state takes advantage of the world's capitalism to prop up its economy. The world is moving away from communism, not towards it. I see no evidence of your statement being accurate.ecdanc said:
That’s a trick question. Historical materialism and all...they’re all just steps on the evolution toward communism.mrussel1 said:

That wasn’t your question.mrussel1 said:

Communism.mrussel1 said:
Compared to Marxism, feudalism, and every other system, you're damn right. Our mixed economy has pulled more people out of poverty than any other system. Look at the numbers. Tell me the economic system that's better than the mixed system we have used for the better part of a century.ecdanc said:

I didn't study Marx academically. Im an executive at a financial services organization and we always know the macro conditions, credit quality, roll rates, delinquencies, NACO, Cecl rules and every other metric you can possibly fathom.

You can't say "look at how good these nations looked like they were going to become (but never did) under communism!" as a declared success story and reason to pivot towards it and away from capitalism. A success story requires success to be a success story.ecdanc said:

Who said anything about a country?mrussel1 said:
You're right, I won't live in a country where the state controls the resources.ecdanc said:
Under communism, you won’t have to.mrussel1 said:
No thanks. I came from working class. I worked hard to not put on a uniform everyday like my father.ecdanc said:
I prefer “proletariat of the world, unite!”mrussel1 said:
e pluribus unum... damn straight.what dreams said:I'm going with the old cliche about about how I can't be contained by a label. Many issues require complicated solutions. Compromise doesn't mean giving up. It means everybody gets something, and the stuff you don't agree on, you leave off the table. We are a pluralistic country, e pluribus unum. This despotic power grab by the Republican party has wrecking our country, and now the response by the AOCs of the world is to do the same thing. Their version of despotism scares me just as much. Power in this country was meant to be shared.0 -
Yeah but that led to six years of civil war.ecdanc said:

I’m no quitter.mrussel1 said:
Marx, Karl is a only a philosopher, whose theories failed in real world applications.ecdanc said:
Elsewhere you’ve dismissed my views because I’m not an expert, so I’ll simply point you to experts. Begin with Marx, Karl.mrussel1 said:
It's not a trick, it's a fact that communism has not been successfully implemented. Even in China, it is a shell of what Marxism was, and more closely aligned with state manipulated capitalism. The state takes advantage of the world's capitalism to prop up its economy. The world is moving away from communism, not towards it. I see no evidence of your statement being accurate.ecdanc said:
That’s a trick question. Historical materialism and all...they’re all just steps on the evolution toward communism.mrussel1 said:
Clever. So what economic system had been proven to be more successful via the successful implementation by a country?ecdanc said:
That wasn’t your question.mrussel1 said:
Now which country are you arguing has successfully implemented it?ecdanc said:
Communism.mrussel1 said:
Compared to Marxism, feudalism, and every other system, you're damn right. Our mixed economy has pulled more people out of poverty than any other system. Look at the numbers. Tell me the economic system that's better than the mixed system we have used for the better part of a century.ecdanc said:
But capitalism has?mrussel1 said:
I didn't study Marx academically. Im an executive at a financial services organization and we always know the macro conditions, credit quality, roll rates, delinquencies, NACO, Cecl rules and every other metric you can possibly fathom. But your worldwide proletariat comment is dumb. True Marxism has never succeeded in practice.ecdanc said:
Now now. No temper tantrums. You told me you know economics, so you must know Marx.mrussel1 said:
Stfu. You post dumber shit every time you hit the keyboard. You claim to want a serious discussion but are incapable.ecdanc said:

And while you may think revolution is fun to study, my entire extended family was murdered thanks to the Soviet communist revolution. Wiped out and disappeared. So anyone who thinks the Red October was some great workers success never studied the history and effects on the peasants of the Ukraine and other surrounding countries. That government sickens me to this day.ecdanc said:
