    No way. Government involvement in that sort of thing ALWAYS leads to a reduction in competition not an increase. They work deals with the corporations so that their market position becomes more entrenched not less.

    I don't think all of this is true, but granting it is, does that mean eliminating unemployment, flag respect, athletic excellence, and good roads are always signs of the work of Nazis? If so, you have a major logic problem. If not, you are just smearing people.

    A lot of Nazis were opportunists. Like Oscar Schindler. And most of the People Stalin killed were not socialists. The Kulaks he starved by the millions, etc

    the Jew haters may or may not have been socialists. As was recognized by other socialists at the time, Hitler’s brand was sort of odd. Most socialists were at least ideological internationalists. Hitler’S cult was self described National Socialist.
    And his social programs were not widely different from what England and the US were doing at the same time. Of course, to the Wingnuts on the board FDR and Atlee were socialists. Like Hitler and Stalin. Love you all so much

    Congrats. That is one of the more amusing defenses of socialism Ive ever read
    Not all the 10s of millions Stalin killed were true believers in Brother Marx
    Have you ever considered a career in stand up?

    It's fair to call many of FDR's programs socialist in nature. Some of his furthest reaching programs were struck down as unconstitutional. Further, he did in fact have a lot of actual communists in his government. This is something no longer in dispute.

    Interesting open comment from Dr Carson, "our hearts go out to the Blake family"...

    Why is that interesting?

    What I find interesting is the NYPD endorsing Trump and excoriating the far left.

    I think every PD in the nation should be endorsing Trump in the chaos erupting in our metros. I don't see conservatives trying to defund our PDs.

    The compassionate thought on Blake has not been publicly announced by anyone as high as Carson in this administration. Heck i read on this forum today that Blake is a convicted violent criminal thus deserving of what happened.

    My apologies. I misconstrued your meaning above. I don't know if he deserved what he got. That will be determined.

    I don't think anyone on here said Blake "got what he deserved".
    Can you point that out?

    Youtube videos on the riot thread calling out that he is a “child rapist”. Not sure the point of that false claim other than to draw a line from his character to the shooting. The reality is that he has been charged not convicted of 3rd degree sexual assault of his ex-girlfriend with whom he shares 3 children. But that doesn’t sound as shocking as child rapist.

    I will say all the speakers tonight except for Dana White have been compelling.

    This is mostly incoherent. Then you make a correct statement admitting that Hitler was a different kind of socialist. Yeah. That is what others told you. He was for a socialism that focused on ethnic Germans. Before that most were international socialists. But then Stalin said they would have to have socialism in one nation. So he became a national socialist as well. He pushed very pro-Russian policies stripping non-Russian Soviets of their language, political power, culture, and history.

    Then you make a very ignorant statement about England and FDR. The English Socialists were the ones starting the social programs. FDR himself sent a group to the USSR to study what Stalin was doing there so that he could implement the same policies in the US. He did too. He started farming cooperatives based on Soviets farm structure. He did everything he could to nationalize the electrical power industry. That is Socialism. State ownership of the means of production. Only a wingnut would think FDR wasn't a socialist.

    He was a Progressive who implemented Soviet style policies. Maybe I over spoke, but the record speaks for itself.

    I said I read on this forum (West Mall) in the Minneapolis Riot thread where it has "Jacob Blake" in caps and "Child Rapist" in caps. It's a misleading correlation that I took to imply his criminal history in some way validating the shooting. And he has not been charged with "Child Rape".

    No doubt the responding officers had no clue about that. What validated the shooting was his actions and refusal to flow lawful commands and resist arrest.

    No one but you made that correlation, Wonder why.

    Some poster somewhere on some thread, maybe this one, railed about how Trump is all about himself. I heard him say "we" over and over again tonight.
