Universal, your main problem is that you see it as YOUR country as you ahve stated so many times. You are a patriot, no matter the actions of your country youwill subconciounsly feel obligated to defend there actions. Your patriotic nature is blinding you.
I cant beleive you actually denied that Iraq and Afghanistan are blatant imperailstic wars. Lets draw a comparison shall we.
The Manchurian crisis, i suppose you know about the bombing of the railways, and then the invasion of Manchuria by Japan.
Regardless of the fact after the invasion the Japanese leadres installed a puppet government under last the emperor of China, Puyi, it has still been seen by history as an act of imperalism. And it is the same with these wars, setting up a puppet government proves nothing. Whatsoever. ITs still imperalism. Iraq belong sto the US wether you'll admit it or not.
Its oil reserves, its national secuirty, all in the hands of the USA.
Now wether you bleieve me or not, it is these actions that cause me to have problems with American foreign policy. The fact that it prevented Communisms spreading is a cuase of distress and a cuase of joy for me.
I detest the way they went about it, the Vietnam war for a starter.
And as much as Americans claim the cold war was a duirect result of the Soviets expansionism into Eastern Europe, IT wasnt.
The US post-war foreign policy was despicable, every step they made was a step to turn the world into a capitalist frontier safe for America's market and investment expansion.
Starting with the atomic bominb og Hiroshima and Nagasaki, There was only one reason for that attack, a message to the USSR. We are in charge, and we have this power. It was direct threat, a bold statement relating to the political conditiong of the world after the war.
Then we have the policy of containment expressed in the truman doctrine.
American politicians, fearful of a loss of markets in Europe, exaggerated the threat of world domination from the Soviet Union. The war was not about protecting the people of eastern europe, it was about the US economy. And then we have vietnam, pah, nothing more than American asserting its dominance.
Liberating, jeez if i had a quid for every time the US or Britain have used that pretence.
Now if yo uactually want to discuss the pros and cons of a marxist society feel free to create a thread.
When it coems to robberry system. Well youve just defined capitalism. A robbery system designed to rob off the working man every single day. i assume you are comfortable with the labour theory of value as advocated by Marx?
Its all there.
Capitalism is robbery.
I do not claim to be a genius, and I do not support a full blown MArixst-Leninist society.
However, capitalism is robbery.
The asnwer lies in democratic Socialism
Im not tlaking about the wish washy bollacks that is often called socialism All these socail democrats.
And yes North korea is a dsigrace
but dotng et me started on Cuba. the only reason it is not what it could be is because of the US embargo impoverishing its people. Another one of the US crimes.
and CHina, oh gee, I am glad that they blew that space satellite up
This is the rise ofa new superpower.
No longer shall the United States of America feel free to rampage around the globe like a bully on a playground.
since 1991 the United States has been on the only big kid on this playground.
Now weve got China
=D
im so bloody happy, its about time.
15 years of pure American dominace, about to end.
They can disregard the Uniet Nations yes
But soon they will not be able to disregard the militar power of China.
Now if you want to discuss MArixt-Leninism as theory, you go ahead and make a thread.
Im sure it will make for intersting discussion
and pelase if you do, dont refer to the failings of the USSR under that facist bastard Stalin.
That was Stalinism, NOT Marxism

You are leaping to conclusions once again. You ASSUME that I am some blind patriot who thinks my government never does anything bad. Your assumptive behavior is what lands you in such illogical territory. Did you not read the post in this thread where I was talking to YOU and I mentioned things my government has done that I disagree with? I am more opposed to our War on Drugs than you are to our war in Iraq. And it is a war. We have soldiers in Columbia right now. It is mainly being fought dometically, and I think it is horrible morally and that it is counterproductive. Did you read where I said Vietnam should have been handled by assassinating the stubborn dictator and not by killing millions of Vietnamese? I also refuse to say the Pledge of Allegience and think it is really strange when Americans put their hands on their chests and sing our national anthem before sporting events. "The Star Spangled Banner" and "God Bless America" are pathetic sounding songs. They are just as horrible as a sanctuary full of white Protestants singing. I told you that if I were drafted to fight a war I don't agree with, I would burn my draft card. In other words, your assumption was very incorrect. It is amazing how I keep having to tell you the same things over and over, and it is amazing how you jump so quickly to unfounded conclusions.
I said that if you were challenged directly to go off with great passion against the United States, you would really get into it. We both know that's true. But the terrible governments I listed were just brief mentionings of yours. You started going off about the United States in the Extended Discussion forum when the damn thread was about Saddam Hussein. How much did you go off about Hussein? So much for your staying on topic excuse. People like you can't stay on topic when there is a discussion about an enemy of the United States. You go straight for the United States every time. That is because you are biased against us, and we both know why.
You call the governments of Iraq and Afghanistan "puppets". The only reason we have any control whatsoever in either country is that the insurgents are working so hard to stop the governments from standing on their own. We, on the other hand, are working so hard to allow the governments to stand on their own. We just recently set up the governments. It would be retarded to not stick around and get them going. Wouldn't it? Were we really supposed to say, "Okay, you've existed for a day. Bye."? That would be disastrous. If the insurgents would stop, we would completely give up control. Your conspiracy theories were interesting the first hundred times I heard America bashers spewing them with venom, but the trend is getting old. Hating Bush and our recent policies is very trendy, like the hoolahoop, but it has to be getting old. You and the other America bashers of the world need to find a new set of delusions to spew about. How about Uraguay? You could say that their leader is planning to take over Tibet because the aliens that live underground there have a big stash of diamonds worth stealing. That could be fun and trendy.
I asked you which communist countries you love. All you told me was to not get you started on how much they suck. I agree with you. Communist countries suck. You blame Cuba's horrible state on America's trade embargo? Do you have any idea how much importance you place on us when you say that? There are about, what, 200 countries in the world? And because ONE country won't trade with them, they are in a Hell hole? That's just ridiculous. Why is the lack of trade between Cuba and the U.S. not causing the U.S. to be poor and screwed up? We are capitalist, and they are communist. Capitalist countries are rich and successful, while communist countries are poor and fucked up. That is how it works. That is because with communism there is no incentive for anybody to work hard. It is an enterprise spirit vacuum. Nobody can get excited about building business empires if it is guaranteed to keep them in exactly the same place. That is why communist countries fail. Lack of incentive. So tell me... What is your favorite communist country?
You are all boned up about China getting more powerful? You want to see us outdone, and that gets you excited? That shows your bias and hatred for us, which you keep denying yet keep inadvertantly exposing. China is not going to dare get into a war with us in response to our liberation tendencies. We are going to keep liberating unfree nations, and China is not going to start a war that will end the world. Sorry to disappoint you. Their communism will never allow them to outdo our level of power, just like the Soviet Union never could. Communism sucks.
The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended World War II. Your conspiracy theories that you pull out of your ass will never get around that.
In Extended Discussion, there are threads about the atomic bomb in WWII and socialism and its forms.
Make sure your read what I wrote. I hope you don't claim that I "avoided" your "points entirely" again. That was a lie. Lying seems to be a common trend among America haters.
