What communism means

Ask an average person (an American) what communism is and they'll say "it's something that's evil where the government tells you what to do". Isn't that happening right now?

I think you put too much faith in historical patterns if you believe that Iraq or Afghanistan will ever turn out like Germany, South Korea and Japan who at least lost their wars against America (among others) respectably. It doesn't take much effort for the Western powers to march into the desert and occupy mudhuts in Sand Niggerville.

The US will never bring "democracy" to the land that natural selection forgot. Germany, Japan, and Korea had respectable cultures, industry, infrastructure, a brain between them and didn't exercise the phenomenon that I shall refer to as "Jihad Logic". Libertarianism will never work in places as unstable as Iraw or Afghanistan, democracy is a slippery slope and frankly the inhabitants of these regions were a lot better off under the stability of a leader such as Saddam Hussein.

What if the Iraqis elected a president that we didn't like? What if the Iraqis elected a religious fundamentalist as their president? What if the Iraqis elected a president who knew nothing about global politics, or the Middle East itself? What if Iraqis elected a president who isn't intellectually qualified to be the president, but might have a lot of business connections? What if there was perhaps a family connection behind the president, perhaps his Father was the president? I know it sounds completely absurd.

So the Japanese Empire got a bit wild/power hungry in its old age and Germany killed a few Jews (naughty naughty...), but as nations they were incredibly civilised and educated, making it incredibly easy for the post-war powers to bring order there. I've gone into a bit of a rant here, but people like No. 11 here, people who suck up Bush's propaganda and talk it's their Manifest Destiny to spread democracy throughout the globe, and that their government gains nothing from it really piss me off. The kind of people that think that because they can use GRAMMAZ, they can also exercise the right to talk utter bollocks.
