My favorite (I have his picture in my wallet) was Pol Pot. No one was more of a fan of the little man than he was. He was so much so that he claimed 3.2 million deaths. He also sewed his own clothes, looked after his mother, baked cookies on Sunday and canned fruit on Saturdays. Just an all around good guy and one to pattern the American socialist take over after!
Woo hoo, socialism is going to be so much better.
Pol Pot was a prick. But if Truman would have answered his letter, most deaths prolly don’t happen.
@RaceBannon that could be it’s fate. Liberals tend to be more interested in exploiting racial issues than solving them. But you guys aren’t really giving us any choice but to side with them.
Your a leftist
Your the enemy
You have no interest in anything but power
If I had any interest in power I wouldn’t be a fucking socialist lol. Jesus Christ, we can’t even become mayor without that city trying to eliminate the position of mayor. We can’t even get a public fucking option. Are you fucking high? Power????? Kshama Sawant is one of the most powerful socialists in America, she’s a fucking city council member. You’re drunk on fascism.
Sober up, you’re embarrassing yourself.
Except for the admitted socialist who wants actual socialism your right on target. Hth dipshit.
“Wants” is a tricky word. For like the 100th time. America will not be socialist in my lifetime and may never be socialist.
I want America to become a better place, I want everyone to have healthcare, to be able to attend college, to be able to trust that their elected representatives aren’t taking bribes, to fight climate change. I also want to fuck with you guys on socialism but that’s just for funsies.
I actually LOL’d at this. How can you reconcile both those statements?

I want America to become a better place as well. I think we just differ on the points to get there.
For instance, I don't give a shit if Americans have healthcare. They control their lives, and can control their healthcare. Figure it the fuck out, I did.
I want there to be college available as well. For everyone who is intelligent and can afford to pay for it. Why should I pay to educate you or anyone else?
I'm not sure the climate is even changing. Well, the climate is changing, but it's been doing that for 5 billion years. I am not sure how much of an effect we are having on it. Some, I'm sure. The degree is the issue. But I do agree I like pristine woodland areas available so I can hunt and shoot deer. And I like clean water. Just not sure about electric cars. They seem like they are mostly for fags and suburban women.
So, this really leaves us with your desire to "trust that their elected representatives aren't taking bribes." A question then? Why did you vote for a guy who has taken bribes?

From 1910 to 1940, high schools grew in number and size, reaching out to a broader clientele. In 1910, for example, 9% of Americans had a high school diploma; in 1935, the rate was 40%.[118] By 1940, the number had increased to 50%
So, at one point, we were really only covering school to 14 years old and then we expanded it to high school. That seemed to go pretty well, I think post 1940 America did alright.
Americans have got the guns and the 2nd amendment, the rest of the World is waiting for some action and some resistance. Keep playing the Third Reich game and you will end up in a Covid concentration camp. FEMA, the US Military, the CDC, the National Guard, all treacherous institutions have big plans for you.
Why hasn't the CDC been set on fire and burned to the ground yet? What are you waiting for, the cattle cars?
I’m ready for you to dress up in your Ninja suit and lead us all to Save the World.

This administration is the most corrupt, most lustful of power, and at the same time the most inept we've had. Just seven months in:
Destruction of US energy independence and the high paying blue collar jobs that were created in previously achieving energy independence. Dementia Joe is now begging OPEC to increase supply and simultaneously allowing our enemies to pipe oil and gas into Europe.
Sky rocketing inflation killing the middle class and poor with real wages that are rapidly declining.
Sky rocketing numbers of illegal aliens streaming across the border, many of whom are infected with a number of COVID variants. To make matters worse, Dementia Joe is transporting them to locations across the country.
Sky rocketing debt, the likes of which this country has never seen. To the delight of democrats, the US dollar is in extreme danger of no longer being the world's reserve currency.
Creating a lay about generation through extended unemployment benefits and eviction bans, both of which are simultaneously killing small businesses eager to find workers and rental property owners who are stuck paying mortgages on properties they are forced to allow non-paying tenants to live in.
Complete loss of Afghanistan to terrorists. As of today, terrorists control over 2/3 of the country. Way to go Joe.
Fracturing the country with an openly racist agenda packaged in a politically correct manner and used to gaslight the masses. Joe has always been a racist, so this should come as no surprise, but the damage he and his handlers are causing is immeasurable.
Complete embarrassment on the international stage, extremely dangerous with respect to China who rightfully sees his frailty and lack of cognizance as an opportunity, the likes of which they've never seen, to grab power and rapidly expand their influence.
Jimmy Carter was an awful president. Dementia Joe is now the low bar. Surviving this schmuck is not going to be easy.

I want those this too. The difference is you want it at gun point. I want it by allowing people unbridled opportunity to achieve their desires and dreams. You want to crush people’s soul with a government check and dependence. It’s been done. And there are people alive today who lived through it and are now free and will fight you to the to the death to ever put them in that situation again.
Of course there are people alive that have been through it. Every first world country but us has universal healthcare. Their stories of not dying because they could afford insulin and not going into crushing debt for cancer treatments are harrowing.

You really need to take an American history class, son.
There is a good reason public education did not take off until the 40’s.
The United States was mostly an agrarian country - small farms.
There was no free healthcare . , . There was no healthcare for the most part.
Antibiotics (penicillin) became available around WWII. Death from infections was common.
Infant deaths were common.
Ever hear of the Spanish Flu pandemic. It killed 500
Kids often went to work on the farm as soon as they were able to help support their extended families.
My grandfather, a dairy farmer, died at the age of 42 in 1923. They think stomach cancer. Don’t really know. He left a wife with six kids, between the ages of 2-1/2 and 11. No Government assistance. The mother washed and ironed for others to make money. They had a garden. The eldest five children dropped out of school when they were able to find a paying job to help support the family. The youngest was the only able to stay in school and graduate from high school. Her mother died at age 51, when she was 13. The mother allegedly died from improper care after having her six kids.

Infant deaths were common.
Ever hear of the Spanish Flu pandemic. It killed 675,000 Americans. One-third of the world’s population (500 million) became infected with it. 10% died.
The United States also dealt with polio, which was a threat until a vaccine was developed (See FDR).
The United States also dealt with TB. People were sent to TB hospitals until a cure was found . . . Antibiotics, I believe.
Kids often went to work on the farm as soon as they were able to help support their extended families.
I’ve seen public school photos from elementary schools in the BethanyHelvetia area west of Portland. These were the children of Swiss/German immigrants. Most of the kids are barefoot, somewhat dirty and not smiling.

They also lived through the Depression, where attending school was a luxury.
Attending college was primarily for the rich, privileged and well educated individuals, until Post WW II when the GI Bill came into play.
Public school through high school was available prior to 1940.
It’s just that the circumstances, lifespans and large families required people, including young folks to work to help support their families, simply to have basic food and shelter.
Farming required the children to work, particularly during the harvest, thus summer vacations at school.
You must realize that mechanized farming didn’t really take off until the 1940’s. Horses, plows and people did the work.
The opportunities were available for an education. Other pressing needs came first, like having food to eat and shelter.
The people were not lazy or entitled. They simply did not have opportunities.
Finding a job in Portland during the Depression was virtually impossible.
The Boomers (post-WWII) were the first generation to benefit from universal public education because the economy was growing.
Their parents (Depression-era) were tough and thankful to be in this country. And yes, almost all of their parents grew up very poor (as children) by today’s standards.
Your conclusions from the Wiki post are pure unadulterated horse manure without including context.
Josef Stalin was a 33rd Degree Freemason. So were Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt and Eisenhower.
33rd degree freemasons vow allegiance to Lucifer.
Adolf Hitler's father, Alois Schicklgruber was the bastard son of a Rothschild.
Maybe George Washington was faking it? He put his left hand in the jacket. Seriously though, do 33 degreers really swear an allegiance to Satan or is that some kind of interpretation of their beliefs? Could it be they just have some odd beliefs like the mormons who believe that Jesus and Satan are brothers and that when the men of their cult die they are going to inherit their own planet and become their own gods to be worshiped by all the souls they collected here on earth? This is of course if they wore the same fucking magic underwear their whole lives or some fucking bullshit like that.

They seem like they are mostly for fags and suburban women.

Here’s a good read on why we should pay to educate others.

The United States also dealt with polio, which was a threat until a vaccine was developed (See FDR).
The United States also dealt with TB. People were sent to TB hospitals until a cure was found . . . Antibiotics, I believe.
Kids often went to work on the farm as soon as they were able to help support their extended families.
I’ve seen public school photos from elementary schools in the BethanyHelvetia area west of Portland. These were the children of Swiss/German immigrants. Most of the kids are barefoot, somewhat dirty and not smiling.
My grandfather, a dairy farmer, died at the age of 42 in 1923. They think stomach cancer.
Don’t really know. He left a wife with six kids, between the ages of 2-1/2 and 11. No Government assistance. The mother washed and ironed for others to make money. They had a garden. The eldest five children dropped out of school when they were able to find a paying job to help support the family. The youngest was the only able to stay in school and graduate from high school. Her mother died at age 51, when she was 13. The mother allegedly died from improper care after having her six kids.
They also lived through the Depression, where attending school was a luxury.
Attending college was primarily for the rich, privileged and well educated individuals, until Post WW II when the GI Bill came into play.
Public school through high school was available prior to 1940.
It’s just that the circumstances, lifespans and large families required people, including young folks to work to help support their families, simply to have basic food and shelter.
Farming required the children to work, particularly during the harvest, thus summer vacations at school.
You must realize that mechanized farming didn’t really take off until the 1940’s. Horses, plows and people did the work.
The opportunities were available for an education. Other pressing needs came first, like having food to eat and shelter.
The people were not lazy or entitled. They simply did not have opportunities.
Finding a job in Portland during the Depression was virtually impossible.
The Boomers (post-WWII) were the first generation to benefit from universal public education because the economy was growing.
Their parents (Depression-era) were tough and thankful to be in this country. And yes, almost all of their parents grew up very poor (as children) by today’s standards.
