Scotch Independence - the countdown

[gas]

The purges in Russia and China.

Western propaganda.

So what you are saying is that we need to develop our economies even further until we get to the point where we have the clean technology to stop polluting?

Agreed.

Communism doesn't stop that from happening. The same people are still making/designing/creating/... the same things, we just do away with the ****ed up wealth disparity.

 

[Ciaran]

ww1 and countless other wars were the product of Capitalism.

 

[The Raging Oxter]

Almost all wars are the product of Capitalism.

 

[VenomPD]

It is true; you do need to be politically ******ed to pursue a career in politics

There's never been a war between two countries with a McDonalds*

You finally outing yourself as a full blown Communist?

Democide has been far more prevalent than people have believed, even several times greater than the number killed in all of this century's wars. Just consider that alone 61,911,000 people were murdered by the Soviet Union, 38,702,000 by the Chinese communists, 10,214,000 by the Chinese Nationalists, 17,000,000 by the German Nazis, and 5,890,000 by the Japanese militarists during World War II. This does not even exhaust the list of this century's mega-murderers, which also would include the past governments of Turkey, Cambodia, Pakistan, Yugoslavia; nor does it include the lesser killers responsible for hundreds of thousands of corpses each, such as past governments of Uganda, Indonesia, Albania, Burundi, Czechoslovakia, Ethiopia, Hungary, Romania, Spain, and Vietnam. Then there are the numerous third-class murders who have "only" killed in the tens of thousands. In sum well over 100,000,000 people have been murdered by their governments since 1900, several times greater than the 35,654,000 battle-dead from all the foreign and domestic wars fought in these years, including World Wars I and II.

Labour candidate quits after comparing pro-indy kids to Hitler Youth

A Labour candidate for the 2015 UK elections has resigned over comments likening children of pro-Scottish Independence campaigners with the Hitler Youth.

Kathy Wiles, who had been selected as the party's candidate for Angus just 24 hours before, handed in her resignation this morning after tweeting an image of the Hitler Youth around a Nazi flag in relation to a protest outside BBC Scotland on Sunday afternoon.
