“Nuclear arms reduction will give Russia and US more weight”A new strategic arms reduction treaty will strengthen the positions of Russia and the US in the non-proliferation area, especially in light of the rocket launches by North Korea, believes analyst Viktor Kremenyuk. |
You know why "true" communism cannot work? It looks great on paper, even works fine in theory. However, communism does not, will not and is incapable of factoring in HUMAN NATURE. That is why no political system really works according to its own precepts. Human nature is the monkey wrench that throws it out of whack. And to admit that, to dwell on what that really means destroys all systems. Thus there never being any meaniingful dialogue.
The real communism is NOT the totalitarian regime of the USSR. USA's capitalism could be much harder than even the "communism" of the USSR, especially if you had the bad luck to be poor. Financial oppression is worse than political oppression. When you eat from the trash, you don't care about free speech. Armand Hammer did NOT "make huge profits trading with the USSR". He traded with the USSR with great personal cost because he was a communist and member of CPUSA (CPUSA was destroyed by the "American hero" Edgar Hoover and his "glorious" FBI). Hammer lost his money (because of USA's secret services that had a mission to destroy it) and returned to USA. He learnt his lesson and the second time he paid the mafia gang named "Republican Party of USA" for "protection" and the secret services left him alone... I wonder why Britain allied with Czarist Russia against both Germany and Bolshevic revolution. Therefore this about Marx and Britain is just a fairy tale. Marxism has nothing to do with the de-christianisation of W. Europe. Marxists have no power to do such a thing in the capitalist West. The de-christianisation of W. Europe is a highest priority project of the NWO and the CIA created many cults and revived many "dead" ancient religions and imported many religions from the far east to cause a religious comfusion to christian nations. This is what we call the "New Age". There was NEVER true democracy and free speech in the West. During the cold war, if you spoke too much you would pay for your foolishness. In the USA, companies, lobies, zionists, masonic sects and secret services make democracy a bad-tasted joke... Ergatis
I agree with Ergatis completely, I want to add my opinion that the US -IS- a vicious dictatorship of "capital". It doesn't ship people off the the gulag it just leaves them in the streets to freeze, starve and have all their assets reclaimed by the banks that gave the loan for them to aquire their housing with in the first place. The US has dropped more bombs on the world than any other country especially the nuclear, and people don't mind because they think its "for freedom". All the free speech in the world won't save people from this oppression.
