Was Genghis Khan a dirty commie?

Those are colonizers. While it also begins with a C it doesn’t have anything to do with communism…

Humans in power have always proven to be shitty.

How about long Leopold of Belgium. Created his own personal rubber industry in the Congo. Probably 10M+ people died.

Generally (but probably not always) colonizers are capitalist enterprises.

Pure capitalism does not create some utopia; it tends towards to unimaginable death and destruction as profits are maximized. That’s why there are checks and balances put into place in most cases, i.e. regulations restricting free markets.

Sharing is voluntary. That’s the difference.

There is no universal utopia. The line between dystopia and utopia is incredibly thin and may be non existant when comparing between 1 persons idea and another.

I don’t think anyone said the US was communist…

I agree with that.

I don’t agree with people using communism as an insult of sorts and saying that it’s inherently inferior to capitalism and necessitates evil dictators and violence any more than capitalism does. Like @Cannabis was implying.

Capitalism has overthrown democratically elected leaders to suit business needs.

No one said that. This started because LJ said @Sbeanonnamellow ideas and statement were communist thinking.

Yea but this is litterally about someone’s idea/actions being called communist by LJ. I don’t believe it was about a government being communist. Names are not meaningless, they are used to describe things. Communism is a word to describe communist ideals, and maybe helicopters.

But still, G. Khan, dirty commie or not?

Shocking.

No one is required to participate. This is about a popular breeder coming online to communicate, and being bombarded with a load of childish bs. The thread was broken off to here to be shelved because we crapped all over the intent of the AG thread.
