Why Isn't Communism as Hated as Nazism? Commies killed, enslaved, MUCH more and last much longer

Why ?

Most, if not all, distribution deports are located at junctions in the road network.

Now if you say have a large chemical or agricultural depot, you may well locate in on the rail network.

The roads network links all warehouses and stores, the rail network doesn't and can never do.

all that may be required is an infrastructure upgrade. only right wingers never have any solutions even in right wing fantasy.

A Ferrari can be used as a Dump Truck... That doesn't make it a good use of the Ferrari.

The fact is high speed rail is a people mover all over the nations using it.

I think they better understand its limitations than you.

Increasing the speed capacity to two hundred fifty miles per hour solves several problems.

None of which makes a Ferrari a good dump truck.

Show me nations that have high speed rail as their freight trains.

You forget modularity. Railcars merely need to be able to handle any given speed on a given railroad.

Show me any other nations with a Statue of Liberty and Yankee forms of ingenuity.

And to relocate the people along specifically designated "corridors"


The transport network needs to go where the people are not the other way round.

The road network already exists.

A high speed rail network is a city-to city competitor to air travel, not warehouse-to-store competitor to freight companies.


Once again, I doubt that even the Chinese rail network is used for freight transportation (except the kind of bulky aggregates or chemicals that is currently already transported by rail in the West).

In other words, better planning and better public transportation to meet that demand. Only the right wing has nothing but problems instead of solutions.

PUBLIC transportation =/= FREIGHT.

Please continue to demonstrate that you have no understanding.

You are being disingenuous since freight hubs can be planned for to make cost effective use of any high speed railroads.

The right wing only has, nothing but repeal and problems. Why waste your vote on that.

Are you saying that the establishment of towns and warehouses away from the rail network in "lousy planning" ?


The high speed rail network can only cover direct routes between big cities, not the multitude of smaller towns.

Once again, you show you know nothing. You read that China has a bigger high speed rail network and somehow have translated that to mean every town in China is connected.
It is not

Hi speed rail competes against airlines connecting major cities, not truck companies shipping tinned food and toilet roll from a supermarket warehouse to a town of 10-100,000 people


Chine will ship most supermarket supplies by road, not rail.

I am saying that better planning could reduce traffic congestion while improving "time to market".

Freight hubs are for freight. High Speed Rail is for people.

Ignorant use of the term "right wing".
