		<description><![CDATA[That would be a statement of either superiority or Hubris. Whenever attorneys and desk clerics get together to produce economic programs, the inevitable always happens. They produce spreadsheets and quota&#039;s, sound familiar ?  (Lenin) In its pathway to the financial nirvana tend to be conflicting ideologies or doctrines also known as notional values in populations and their respective thinking..  I really suggest you determine whether the First Corporate Welfare Theorem  is actually any radical movement away from the Bolshevist doctrine.   The first person perspective in meeting up with that type of advocacy is not dissimilar to what we see unfold before us today.  Mindless automata so to speak, regardless I suggest a particular document. that introduces more advanced people controlling economics as a primer if you have not seen it already

		<description><![CDATA[One point I&#039;d like to make. I never believed the Bolsheviks had a clue about Marx&#039; economic theories. I found Marx&#039; analysis of the capitalist economy of the 19th Century thorough and convincing. It is similar to a body of mathematics in its structure and rigour, like the primitive terms in geometry that are used to build into axioms and theorems that describe three dimensional, space Marx&#039; does something similar for social economic space. By association with the Bolsheviks and others there is an undeserved prejudice against his writings. I bet none of them had understood or even read the three volumes of Capital.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Excellent article. The author,Mr. Plaut, obviously has a good grasp of history and economics. 
The comments were also exceptional; intelligent and informative. They were the kind of ideas expressed so well, that make me wish I had permission to quote when I write or am interviewed on radio. Thank  you. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I defer to an earlier comment and suggest you look to the site set up by R.J. Rummel called power Kills.  In which he describes a theory of state democide that rarely see it&#039;s statistics, model, numbers or social vectors better described. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/NOTE1.HTM&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/NOTE1.HTM&lt;/a&gt; , he does tacitly evolve certain assertions but that on his part is political as opposed to reality, a condition of the current regimes power.   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not only are and were they voicing their opinions but they are repatriating in greater numbers.  The statistical radar seems to omit people by their tan range.  The more successful tend to take residence elsewhere to avoid onerous taxation or to join the many capable of traversing the citizenship minefield of usury.  It is simply recycling the ancient curse of humanity, here we go again !  The problem is this time the state is and can be more effectively lethal and in larger numbers.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[However many people killed by regimes that called themselves Marxist, and I&#039;m sure it&#039;s a horrific number, Capitalist regimes have killed far more. Between 1960 and 1990 more people were killed, tortured and imprisoned by their governments in South America than in Eastern Europe, almost all by US-backed regimes of the rich.  
The following is not an exhaustive catalogue but a taster&#039;s menu: The Germans in Angola, the British in South Africa, the Belgians in the Congo, the Americans in the Phillipines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Russians in Chechnya.  
Or how about China today, the sole powerhouse of world capitalism (built I might add on a planned economy) and murderer of the people of Tibet and East Turkestan, oppressor of their own people at home using all the big brother apparatus of surveillance and repression, much of it bought from US companies.  
How about the Congo today, in which corporate- and imperialist-backed governments and death squads have killed six million people since the late 90s.  
A minority of Capitalist countries allow formal democratic rights to one extent or another, but this is based on the super-exploitation of other peoples. 
It&#039;s Capitalism that&#039;s murderously utopian, that doesn&#039;t work, that needs oppression like we need oxygen. Ask the oil workers at Zhanaozen and the miners of Marikana ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The armies ranged in size from thousands to tens of thousands. By the way your expeditionary force massacred entire villages full of innocent people. Some never saw combat, some were very significant.  
Alongside this the Allies bankrolled the Whites - a collection of proto-fascists and wannabe military dictators - to the tune of a sum greater than the entire pre-war industrial output of Tsarist Russia. 
  
I&#039;ve read lots of things from all perspectives and all political views. Some were worth reading, some were not. I haven&#039;t got around to Howard Zinn yet but he&#039;s on the list.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you get the weekend off work, that&#039;s because of &quot;collectivism&quot;. If you&#039;ve ever claimed benefits or driven on a road or called the cops, you&#039;ve got collectivism to thank. US victory in WWII? Collectivism. The great post-war boom? Collectivism. Forty years of stagnating wages...? Reagan.  
The horror of Stalinism is not something genuine socialists approach with reverence or clinical technicality. By the way there&#039;s nothing collectivist about a privileged, murderous bureaucracy and dictatorship that oppresses and exploits the people.  
But the economies there were rationally planned rather than subjected to capitalist chaos. Badly-planned, mind you, with colossal waste but planned nonetheless. So why if it was all undiluted evil and horror is it that in all these alleged hellholes life expectancy was raised by decades and literacy became universal?  
That&#039;s why I believe that the lazy and hysterical kind of &quot;history&quot; exhibited on this page is just a new genre of gothic horror that serves the purpose of making rational debate about the last century (and the one to come) impossible ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Immigrants that came here from Communist countries tried to voice warnings to the citizens of this country.  The main stream media have ignored these people and even tried to silence them. These young college grads that can&#039;t get a job mainly because of taking easy courses should do this.  Go live for 6 months in a place like Cuba, talk to the people and see what they think. Even Pres. Putin congratulated Obama for following the Communist Manifesto, without calling it what it was. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following any argument whether capitalistic or socialistic in human social formation it also follows that when the state dictates the term is is effectively a &#039;regime&#039; which is captive to its own lies, it then proliferates to falsify everything to fit it&#039;s model. As quoted by Vaclev Havel -&#039;It falsifies the past. It falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future. It falsifies statistics ... It pretends to fear nothing. It pretends to pretend nothing.&#039;   Therefore your points on the reality of idealized consumer models are false.  The first Welfare theorem proves it, a bonded individual in a capitalistic model or a brother in struggles against the proletariat all are expendable, it is simply a matter of how each soulless  model achieves it&#039;s goals.  Ultimately I believe R.J. Rummel in his State power model of Democide describes well the function and and examination of the purpose of each. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot; There are working people who voted for this madness.&quot; People everywhere are fearful.  Life is a challenge and when a narcissistic leader appears to allay those fears with &#039;hope-and-change oratory and gifts from the treasury it&#039;s an alliance forged in hades. The masses get free stuff and the narcissist wallows in adulation. But eventually the party must end as reality intrudes. The end is not pretty and it may take decades. The USSR lasted about sixty years and is still disfunctional.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Forget the Hitler thing! You are missing the main point -- Hitler was not anti-German, while the Reds began the systematic destruction of Russian society and culture almost immediately. Now, Hitler is a tough case because he burned to save, not the actual Germany, but a mythological Germany, perhaps an &#039;essential&#039; Germany. But the danger was not imaginary, and because German culture, religion, and society were in fact under attack by the degenerates of the Weimar Culture, people easily picked Hitler as the lesser of two evils. Remember that Lenin and especially Trotsky could hardly wait for the Civil War to end before abolishing any trace of the Russian Orthodox Church. Of course, any society is founded upon it&#039;s particular religion, as religion provides the commonly-accepted rules and values shared by every member of the society, and required to maintain it. When the Wehrmacht invaded Russia, Stalin hid under his desk, but the Patriarch of the Orthodox Church got on the radio to rally Russians to fight the Great Patriotic War. Nobody will fight for Comunism, just as nobody will fight for capitalism.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Never mind the international blockade and the invasion by over 20 foreign armies.&quot; 
 
Really? 20 foreign armies that you counted included exactly how many men? Hardly enough to man 20 artillery pieces, I&#039;m pretty sure. For example, the infamous American expeditionary contingent in Arkhangelsk had barely over a thousand men - barely enough to secure the port to prevent the Germans from using it in the remaining months of the war. In fact, Wilson refused to send more and also refused to impose economic blockade of the bolshevik controlled territories. Here&#039;s what you need to do: read something worth reading. Howard Zinn is not.     ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Engels. Mark and Trotsky are basically cut from the same fabric, their human  condition rendered in an ideology is like all such notions, dystopian as well as short sighted.  Moreover they laid the foundation for work that is not so much or even arguable a visionary concept of socialized living.  Since most were in essence attorneys or legal process workers.  This foundational work was taken up and further made public through Gramsci, yet Gramsci&#039;s work is not much discussed beyond the borders of the Italian peninsula it is remarkably consistent with current federalism and more importantly for those that perceive it a centralized global version of his doctrine.  His method builds well on the foundation of his forebears and more importantly much of his work is sequestered and due to the many iterations of his prolific writing much was considered semi unintelligible due to the number of methodologies employed, but in essence the new strategy of the Long March through culture.  Is truly very much ever present and enmeshed with commerce and wholly compatible with it and it&#039;s goals.   ]]></description>
