Its fallacious to assume that if communism fails spectacularly the first 25 times someone tries to create it, with accompanying mass murder, tyranny, and economic ruin, then the 26th time isn't likely to work out either? Adam Smith was an observer. He wrote about what he saw happening. He didn't say, hey smash the feudalist state and create capitalist democracies through revolution. His obvervations were that restraints on trade were bad, which even at the time couldn't have seemed impossibly radical. And what was "progressive" about Mao?
now I am not only stupid, but also fat...You d be surprised, but I am not either of those....but whatever
Communism was a creation of the same central banks that gave us capitalism, and communism is really just a form of consolidated capitalism in the hands of an Elite few, while the public are peasants and completely enslaved. Communism was a sham from the beginning and has been responsible for the horrific deaths of countless millions. Far more people were killed under Stalin and the communists than by Hitler and the Nazis, yet we rarely hear about this for some reason. Who started the Bolshevik Revolution? It wasn't a product of the oppressed masses as many believe. It was the Anglo-American establishment -- the same people who funded the Nazis and brought us the second World War. (The same people Dubya's grandfather Prescott worked with.) So whoever said that communism and nazism are basically the same is correct. Both are two sides of the same coin, which were created by the Elite, then pitted up against each other to create conflict to justify their wars. Wars equal the centralization of power and a shift towards totalitarianism.
