Tom in Alvin, Texas, what is your most effective and concise argument against Marxism, socialism, communism?
My answer is this under those forms of rule individuals have no right to say no.
Well, that is absolutely accurate, but you didn't ask what is the most accurate, what is the most effective.
Effective, you asked.
I don't know how effective that would be.
How's this?
It's the greatest mass murdering machine in the history of mass murder.
If I had to give a concise and possibly effective answer, that's what it would be.
The number of people slaughtered civilians, not even combatants, slaughtered by communism, Marxism, socialism is about a hundred million, probably more.
Now, that doesn't include all those injured.
It doesn't include all of those whose lives were devastated because their loved one was slaughtered by communist socialist Marxists.
So the repercussions are enormous.
It doesn't include the number of people who were impoverished.
It doesn't include the number of people who had a whole lifetime with no rights.
Then we're talking about a billion.
That kids today, that there are kids, I shouldn't say kids today, that there are young people who celebrate Marxism or communism, let alone socialism, is an ode to how little they have learned about history.
The most important subject you could study is history.
You need to know what human beings have done in order to learn from the human experience, which is called wisdom.
If you don't learn from the human experience, you're inevitably a fool.
So that's why people can be anti capitalist.
Hello?
Isn't capitalism associated with the most free countries in the history of the world and isn't capitalism and only capitalism the one economic doctrine to lift billions out of poverty?
You think socialism has lifted billions out of poverty?
