Based on available information I thought it was justified. Enormous losses happened during the capture of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. The armed forces provided estimated losses. Japan had prepared the entire population for defense of the homeland. Large numbers of planes were held in reserve by the Japanese. The bombs were dropped to avoid a large number of casualties. Later research determined the U.S. Navys estimate for losses, which was much larger than the U.S. Army, proved to be most correct.
Isn't it funny that the extremely wealthy push socialism? Are they virtue signaling or does it help them make money and get rid of the people they hate?
The only reason these things worked in places like Red China and for about 80 years in the Soviet Union was because of homogeneous cultures. The Left keeps trying to do that to the USA but this is the one case where "diversity is our strength". Actually it's not, it's anarchy.
Taking Moscow wouldn't have caused a Russian surrender if flau blau would have worked they could have caused an economic collapse by taking over the oil fields but Germany didn't have the fuel reserves to take the aa line
The simple reason Capitalism works (Better at least), and Communism doesn’t: Capitalism at its basics encourages you to work harder or produce more and earn more as the people own things. Communism by the fact that the government owns and controls the means of production and dictates all this, does the opposite and de-incentivizes the effort to work harder, as the government is still going to in the end decide how much you get. The only reason you’d be working hard is due to fear of punishment for slacking off. Thus it’s closer to actual slavery.
This is literally the DNC Democratic National Committee playbook for the United States! Giving away resources to people who give no Equivalent Exchange. Giving resources to greedy collectivization officials who give away the fruits of your labor.
When you don'd have free market you don'd have prices and then you don'd know what to do . Central planing comite eventualy fails to disribute wealth and then everybody starvs.
And yet, we're told how evil McCarthyism was because a handful of people were sentenced to jail for being communist supporters. Meanwhile the reverse of that in communism led to millions of deaths. You tell me which ones more evil?
McCarthyism wasn't even evil, it's been totally lib washed in the education system. A ton of subversives got in trouble and we are supposed to feel bad for the people on the black list. Look those actors and directors up. Everyone of them was a Stalinist idiot.
Why does capitalism or communism kill so many people? Well, you see, when you give a small cabal of psychopaths extensive control over other people, they will inevitably do horrifying things. CEO's, bosses, managers all exist under both systems. And both systems are plagued by widespread corruption. Both systems can also pretend that the corruption is just a normal part of civilized society.
It's a common practice of tyrants throughout History; eliminating ALL opposition. The American Left is NO different! The DNC has said it plain! They WANT to open camps! Just as Hitler, Stalin, Mao, AND MORE did in the 20th century!!! _birds of a feather..._ 🤷
What amazes me is that you have being saying the same shit over and over for decades, and you just pretend that you are saying something mind blowing about communism. You have even series talking about the "horrors of communism", like girl meets world, Disney one. If suddenly people need to remind this is because liberals and pro market priests have fucked up really bad.This is a massage club.
Marxism proceeds from 2 fundamentally flawed assumptions about human nature: 1. A failure to recognize the limitations of human nature. This became clear in the twin laboratories of the French and American Revolutions in the late 18th Century. The Founding Fathers were under no illusions about what humans are capable of, and so installed guardrails in the Constitution (separation of powers, checks and balances, and a Bill of Rights which enumerated what the federal government could NOT do its citizens) to curb the worst abuses of power. The French had no such qualms, and were sure if they trusted the experts and placed all decisions in the hands of enlightened elites, then liberte', egalite', et fraternitie' would surely result. They were soon sadly disabused. This lesson was lost on Marx, who believed that humans would willingly sacrifice their own self interests for what he perceived to be the greater good. 2. An assumption that human nature is malleable and can easily be remolded into whatever form the ideology in question demands. This is to be accomplished via social re-engineering with mandatory youth organizations such as the Young Octoberists and Young Pioneers, rigid state control of the school system and curriculum, state control of all media, and campaigns promoting the "new communist man." Bottom line: any project which proceeds from either of these assumptions can only result in guillotines, re-education camps, and mass graves. ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
What are you even talking about? Russia died for the West. ever heard of the brusilov offensive? Russia was defeated by ideological warfare, with Lenin carrying a most evil mind virus.
Who likes to defend comunism with everything they got, deserves to go live in a country ruled by comunism. Then they will have a taste of the nightmare they wish to draw upon their own nation and hopefully, change their minds. Comunist leaders are just dictators pretending to be something else
One small error, the weapon with which Frans Ferdinand was shot was NOT made in Serbia. It was made Fabrique Nationale in Herstal, Belgium and subsequently bought by the Serbian army. FN1910 type.
If you look at Russia throught history, there military has never been very successful. There strength was and still is large numbers and even with those numbers they have really struggled and continue to struggle. That is probably why it is better to have well equipped, well trained, motivated and supplied troops over large numbers of troops with non of that. The Russians continue to prove that they are really only good at killing their own.
So what about the French legion . Germany didn't touch them yet I read they did attack . Can someone tell me how did the legion not get disbanded. Thank you
You need the correct kind of culture to allow communism to gain traction. If you confiscate land tomorrow from say all American farmers, you can imagine the outcome. But over time, cultures change. Europe is ever increasingly becoming ready for communism. And the entire western world has a growing left wing
