Not since you believe they could so much as be attempted 'nationally', to the exclusion of the global necessity that defines them.


I think the problem with internet forums is, there's no obligation to avail oneself of education in advance.

I would suggest you read Mao, The unknown story, or the Private Life of Chairman Mao to see what a communist utopia looks like when its put into practice.
 
The vast majority of Japanese Americans vote Democrat today, so go ahead and ask them. The fact is, FDR is by far the most beloved president in U.S. history. Lincoln and FDR had more to deal with than any other presidents in U.S. history by a wide margin. Every other presidency has been a cakewalk compared to what those two men had to contend with, and aside with a few total nutjobs might claim, the are widely regarded by the public and by historians as two of the greatest presidents in U.S. history.

George Washington had to keep a New Born Country from failing apart and he was doing that before He was elected President.
 
Ah yes, that wonderful sense of (false) security you get from being in the consensus.

Yes, there is a sense of security in ones beliefs when just about every reasoned individual on earth agrees with them. You should try it sometime. ;)
 
Communism requires a state, or a lot of capital to set it up.
What it requires, dear heart, is a pole dancer and a Santa hat.

I guess you know what you have to do.

George Washington had a cakewalk compared to the Civil War and Great Depression. The Civil War nearly destroyed the country (the death rate in the Civil War was exponentially higher than it was in the Revolution) and had a lesser man been president during the Great Depression its quite possible we could have ended up having a communist revolution as the country fell apart due to widespread famine and starvation. You should ask your grandparents just how bad things were when FDR took office.

Whereas I'd suggest that a half-baked autodidact does not an authority make.

Except they are not reasoned at all. You literally have to forget he locked up thousands of Americans for being Japanese, forget that he actually thought that if you just raise prices, the economy will get better (literally retarded thinking, literally), and that he created a massive spying state, and intervened in all sorts of minute details of day to day life of every American.

My Grandparents don't like FDR because they viewed him as a tyrant the only thing FDR was good at was giving speeches and making people feel better, Which is much different from actually making them better off. FDR New deal failed, He tried to change the Supreme Court after they ruled against him, He was a fan of Mussolini and Hitler, He is the reason why two terms is the law for presidents.Unlawfully intern Japanese Americans. Just look at the numbers for unemployment during his time as CnC. He never pulled out of the Depression during his time.

Well my Grandparents loved him. Even Reagan loved him at the time. His approval rate was the highest ever measured for a president. That said, its subjective and we are obviously not going to agree.
 
Communism in practice:

Pure unregulated Capitalism in practice:

A mixed market economy with worker protections, market regulation, environmental protections with a safety-net:

Of the three listed?

Communism, if it worked...but it doesn't because people are too greedy.

So capitalism is best for now.
 
Nigeria is not unregulated, pure, nor is it capitalism.

That was a capitalist company, Royal Dutch Shell, that did that. That is what companies do absent regulation.
 
Nigeria is not unregulated, pure, nor is it capitalism.

And one of the most corrupt countries in the world where laws dont matter if you can pay.

So the regulations dont exist for those who can afford them to not exist.

State corruption is a massive problem of the state.
 
A spill means pure, unregulated, capitalism?

If done by a private company in a way in which it gets away with it and when it can do so because there are no regulations preventing them - yes.
 
Except the regulations exist, hence the pay offs.



And the state.

And if they wouldnt exist it would have happend anyway, since the company already behaved as if they wouldnt exist in the first place.

I doubt they would make more money if there was a spill, that is just silly.

Spills happen. And if you dont have to bother with the financial consequences - the better for the company.

If approval rating were measure during Washington's time I'm pretty sure he would have FDR looking up at him.
 
HOnly Lincoln was a worse president, which is saying a lot because Lincoln killed 600,000 Americans

This actually quite ridiculous a statement and has no basis in historical fact. It's more like revisionism than anything else. Lincoln killed no one.
 
A mixed economy is the best since it is able to pragmatically deal with the demands that any economic system can make without being narrow or ideologically based to the detriment of the people.
