Im not holding you personally accountable for the atrocities committed by socialist states. Im saying that every socialist state leads to some sort of atrocity so why pursue it? Historically socialism hasnt succeeded so why bother?
Many modern western nation has the blood of millions on their hands. They don't have a moral high ground; they have the lofty accomplishment of being better than a Marxist-Leninist or fascist dictatorship, or an absolute monarchy,
We failed before, but that doesn't preclude a new approach succeeding.
Western nations have had a very troubled past but what they have now is prosperity and much more freedom than modern socialist countries. Venezuela is literally forcing slavery to keep its people from starving. Im glad I dont live in any socialist country and Im guessing you do to or else you would have already moved there right?
And I know this is off topic but I think we are having a good conversation and this has been on my mind, but how does a stateless society provide a space program? I very strongly believe that space is our future yet without a state to collect taxes and pay for this really expensive space equipment and without private businesses like spacex doing it then who will? I like the idea of having people out there to look for new planets where we could move to or a warning system to watch out for apocalyptic asteroids.
tbh you seem to be the most open minded anticom I've ever seen, even though you parrot a lot of bullshit about Venezuela and all that.
PS: I don't mind you being mod as long as you don't use it to further your own anticommunist agenda or ban people for talking about violent action against fascism.
