Where did all the communists who were blowing up buildings in NYC in the 70s go? They became community organizers. The rest became teachers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone on that stage last night (even the weird lady on the left and Swalwell) ran circles around Biden last night. It is only going to get worse for him. You'd be wise to count him out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know one and he's a home improvement guy now still working in his latter 60's. He bucked the trend. He literally went to jail for blowing up a building. In 2012 he had giant "RON PAUL" letters on the tailgate of his pickup truck so his political views evolved - A LOT.

row_33 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Marxism has transferred to cutting apart English texts and "so-called literature" so it's a playground for people unemployable outside a University. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socialism is not a good system. Both are drenched in blood, and history keeps proving this time and time again. What's being pushed by the progfascists is thinly veiled communism -- pushed by people who are Marxist in their educational backgrounds. Learn your history. The number of deaths caused by communist/socialist--actually more like quasi communist/socialist--societies also pales in comparison to the deaths caused by (often directly in the name of) the major monotheistic religions that have prevailed throughout the world for the last couple millennia, with Christianity and Islam being the biggest culprits. Maybe we should all as a world revert to those polytheistic secular religions demonized (though ironically imitated) by Christianity and the other major monotheistic religions? After all, a fraction of the people died in the name of those secular religions in comparison. Learn your history. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the poster has no idea as to the number of deaths outside of Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa in terms of people killed in the name of religion. Anyhow since numbers were most likely never tabulated versus guessed at for the Inquisition I would bet that Mao and Stalin has the Vatican and the Spaniards beat.

Again, this is a weak (and marxist) dodge. No one is talking about religion. No one votes for a national religion. What you're advocating is something we can vote for as a society. It's a bad deflection. Be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you disputing that religion has killed millions and millions of people as I stated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
