    it's the wave of nationalism, their government has decided to mobalise them with 'patriotism'. Give it a decade or so, and they'll produce a back-lash subcutlure of 'free love' and psychadelic rock again, like before

      Actually, I'd argue that their responses are due in large part to the many, many, many "Capitalism vs. Communism" threads that have existed here at Apolyton OT. It's been done so much, sometimes one doesn't have the energy to respond fully, and just laughing is easier. Couple that with PC's other posts on the forum, and I can see why it happened.

      But, PC, if you prefer to believe we're all brainwashed automotons chanting "God Bless America" go right ahead.

        Well if that is the case, surely they would just avoid this thread like the plague?

          Religion threads inspire that kind of reaction in some people.

            Yep, capitalism sucks.

            But it sucks less than any previous system.


            And how can anybody take communism seriously.
            Any belief system that promises that the "state will wither away" is obviously playing on the ignorance of it's followers.

            Labor unions, became the prefered choice over communism. They actually helped the common worker. Communism never has.
            It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

              Didn't we try killing this thread with our apathy a couple of days ago? Why the resurrection?

                Didn't the system try killing trade unions?

                Yes they do DinoDoc, look at people like CivNation. They need combatting, thanks to people like me they are kept in check

                  I'm glad you had a smilie in that post. For a second I wasn't sure if you got the point of that post.

                    I know perfectly well what you are saying thanks, sometimes it is usually the problem of people understanding my posts and keeping track of my wit, obscure as it can be at times...

                      Why can't Americans even discuss the concept of Communism without foaming at the mouth. Look at Japher's or Sprayber's response. You just respond with an insult or a putdown. Grow up!
                      You wouldn't understand, it's an American thing

                      Tell me why I should take the concept of communism seriously? It's all a dream, a nice dream, but a dream of some power hungry hippie.. a contradiction of terms, equal yet not equal. Tell me how that is even scientific? It even violates social sciences.

                      Marxism is a good start. However, the fact it turned into communism reminds makes of all the guys who failed trying to invent the parachute.

                        Broad, exaggerated, generalization.

                          Boris, Che, Kid... who else is in the Apolyton Communist Party?

                          Bashing Capitalism on the onset in an attempt to make communism look better will always get a strong rise out of me, your fical conservative who loves capitalism.

                          If you would of just came out and say "hey, here's away communism could work" I might listen.

                            Argue the issue, fair enough. But this isn't what you did. It just turns to you lot commenting about smoking crack. And your scientific/social science argument smells like bull to me. How does it violate social sciences and science on a whole?

                              Theories that fail repeated trials usually get discarded.

                                Japher, I have mentioned nothing about capitalism, all I have mentioned so far is your first interjection into this thread, your little outburst, your little hissyfit. To an outsider it demonstrates what a deep impact the likes of Reagan and McCarthy have left on your national psyche.
