I've been trying to have a reasonable discussion with a few posters on varying subjects (tenets of marxism, for instance).
But this is becoming impossible as any reply I make is being HR'd by a small cadre of haters.
For instance, arbiter and Clarknt67 both HR'd my statement distancing Socialism (a necessary social construct) from Marxism.
But I had a minor in Russian history, and have spent a lifetime furthering my education in that area.
Lenin used terrorism (to gain power) and forced famine (to hold power and industrialize), both of which he rationalized using Marx's philosophy of violence and aggression as the natural state of man (and of course animal).
If you don't know this, then you either need to 1) study or 2) stop being a shill for a philosophy that killed 60 million people.
Socialism does NOT equal marxism. Socialism is needed, marxism is inhumane crap, IMO.

They both found this HR-worthy.
