Lenin died in 1924. The Civil War was over in 1920. He died after several strokes. *NM* Tom Send a noteboard - 10/10/2011 05:30:58 PM
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Is communism the true economy of democracies? MrFarstrider - 10/10/2011 01:35:24 AM 733 Views

Um, a LOT of places have mixed "free" market and state rule. Joel - 10/10/2011 05:43:49 AM 571 Views
WTF? Canada, Western Europe, and Japan are democracies, not state-rule like China - *NM* trzaska2000 - 10/10/2011 05:53:17 PM 203 Views
Think he means we all have public sector enterprise. Stephen - 10/10/2011 06:24:10 PM 404 Views
Yeah, I thought it was clear as well. Tom - 10/10/2011 06:32:02 PM 440 Views
Yeah, Stephen pretty much covered it. Joel - 11/10/2011 06:10:38 AM 478 Views
They are not similar. MightyYT - 10/10/2011 04:01:59 AM 424 Views

That's why Lenin came up with the soviets, though that was pretty naïve, too. Joel - 10/10/2011 05:54:37 AM 370 Views

Sorry, did not realize he survived it that long. Joel - 11/10/2011 04:21:05 AM 479 Views
There is no evidence that Lenin was poisoned. Tom - 11/10/2011 04:50:28 AM 404 Views
That is hardly the only way to kill; in Lenins condition, neglect would have sufficed. Joel - 11/10/2011 06:28:31 AM 435 Views
Let's see...you're asking if property theft by the state is compatible with freedom? No. Tom - 10/10/2011 04:58:14 AM 420 Views
I'm curious how you distinguish "full socialism" from "full communism." Joel - 10/10/2011 05:32:53 AM 394 Views
You obviously don't understand the definitions of socialism and communism. Tom - 10/10/2011 02:41:39 PM 474 Views
OK, I see what you mean now, thanks. Joel - 11/10/2011 04:29:35 AM 405 Views
In theory, but economics is not politics, making social contracts a bit more dubious. Joel - 10/10/2011 05:18:39 AM 558 Views
No, but socialism is. Dannymac - 10/10/2011 06:09:55 AM 477 Views
No. A thousand times no. Vodalus - 10/10/2011 07:46:22 AM 564 Views
Guess I count myself among those fools, though I pretty much agree with Danny. Joel - 10/10/2011 10:52:11 AM 465 Views
I don't usually answer your scattershot rants, Joel, but you have overextended yourself. Tom - 10/10/2011 05:28:07 PM 508 Views
That still looks like Stalin and Mao rationalizing away the impossibility of their stated goals. Joel - 11/10/2011 05:59:06 AM 514 Views
No time to today, but you're very wrong. Tom - 11/10/2011 02:32:38 PM 402 Views
OK. Joel - 11/10/2011 03:08:17 PM 388 Views
You really should read more about the Soviet Union. Tom - 11/10/2011 03:19:32 PM 470 Views
Not sure it would change my perceptions. Joel - 11/10/2011 03:41:08 PM 376 Views
In a single word: No. A Deathwatch Guard - 11/10/2011 08:26:36 AM 398 Views
Nope, because free-market democracy totally permits communism already Isaac - 12/10/2011 12:50:36 AM 458 Views
