Imperialism is a historical thing apart from that corner. That would get so much more respect if it looked after it's own people a bit better. Now that would be a principle worth playing on.

Re: What's Going on in the Americas? Reply #954 – 2017-08-06, 19:02:51 let me firstly say Colonel that I am making considerable allowances for the fact that you have an ex-colonial education and that there is a government awareness of that long standing issue.Secondly empires are a thing of the past and the Commonwealth is a very enlightened progress that you lot could not produce at all. That came from Empire days. But you lot cannot accept that and yours is very fly, improper and does not are a damn fig about the countries it subjugates. You maintain an empire based on very heavy corporate control and your two parties show that too. Time after time you have tried to take places over either militarily or by the money men and where there is a challenge find a way to intimidate, block or tear apart. As I have also pointed out toy spend over half the world's military bill for the sake of the corporates who run your mess of a country - doesn't matter whether Democrat or Republican the tens of millions of poor and bottom of the pile remain there. Every party here supports the Welfare state and other helps. Your money men do not supply colonial experts but the countries you dominate are financially and subtly militarily subdued. So instead of trying to do a daft body-swerve and slope into the distant past trying facing up the empirical stuff your country gets up to in today's world. Any place that dares to challenge your imperialism based on money is in for a swipe, blocked or put down. Instead of helping the tens of millions of poor in the land of nonsense you are the No 1 imperial crowd in today's world and little to how in that except the pockets of your corporate controllers.President Eisenhower was so damn right all those years ago warning you lot but your so damn nationalistic and call it patriotism (groan). A friend of mine when brought up here married a fellow Glaswegian then went to live in California decades ago. She is frustrated and head shakes at what is called a political system. Her son and his wife are emigrating here. Meanwhile the rest of you will continue to be brained by a rubbish media and an even worse system. Try facing up to your own empire lot.

That an American nurse (sexual abuse of detainees) and an American cook (shit like tasting food for detainees) have been sentenced because of their contribution to torture in those shady prisons abroad?

But it didn’t end there: In fact, it prompted an entire day of “camp-wide conversation” about the racist “symbolism, intended or not” of the banana, a conversation that made some students feel so upset that they didn’t feel “safe” enough to stay, which ultimately led to the rest of the retreat being canceled altogether.

Where do you see that imaginary communism spreading all over Europe?Because you decided that social care must be named "communism"? universal health care must be named "communism"? human rights must be named "communism"?It is true that the State interferes too much in many areas in Europe and it does it mainly under two ways, Brussels bureaucracy nightmare and the lack of sovereignty representation for regions but to call it a communism come back only makes people laugh.

This was not so in Soviet Union. In SU they made "capital investments" just fine, to build factories, schools and hospitals, infrastructure, without worrying that they might be doing something capitalist.Edit: But according to Oakdale, anyone concerned about social issues is a socialist=communist=fascist.

Re: What's Going on in the Americas? Reply #972 – 2017-09-07, 17:38:43 I love the reactions to the "commie" trope! It always gets the "I was just following orders" group complaining about the lack of sophistication we 'Mericans continually show…The EU is a soft communism, whether you'all know it or not. But don't take my word for it: Read Geert Wilder's speech.(Or read this…)Does anyone deny that communism was a European ideology? That its theoreticians were Europeans? (Sure, the obvious "swerve" -as Howie would call it- is that it was the Jews! But while Mao takes the Honor for killing the most and Pol Pot takes Honorable Mention for being the most vicious, Stalin stands out as the primary example of European influenced "modern" government.Europe seems determined to get some form of totalitarian control institutionalized… The sheer persistence of the impulse is — frightening.And the U.S. is not so very far behind that we can't catch up… Last Edit: 2017-09-07, 18:22:16 by OakdaleFTL

Re: What's Going on in the Americas? Reply #974 – 2017-09-07, 23:23:51 Well I would say Oakdale that the Bolshevik nasties killed more people than the Nazis did but we all tend to not notice that matter as we had more access to the Nazis internal affairs after the war than getting records and stuff from the USSR days. Had the excellent reforming Tsarist Prime Minister Stolypin not have continued (sacked then assassinated) the re was a goodly chance that the revolution would not have occurred. What a difference that would have made to Europe.
