History / Were Marx, Lenin and Luxemburg right about capitalism? [44]

Communism in the end is far too idealistic to work effectively!
The profit motive and the spirit of competition are natural human
instincts, survival instincts, if you will.

Of course there are the clear excesses of capitalism, look at the post-Reagan
Era, in particular, Donald Trump or the fictional character Gordon Gecko ("Greed is good").

However, it's part of human nature to want to excel and strive to continually do better.

History / Benefits of being Polish nationalist: is there any? [17]

Perhaps, Maf. You could be right about that one.

Merz' victory says a great deal though about Germany's shift towards the Center,
if not the Right. Thankfully though, not the far right, at least as yet.

History / Benefits of being Polish nationalist: is there any? [17]

There's one heck of a difference between being a nationalist versus a patriot!
The former is usually an unthinking jingoist, my country right or wrong as opposed
to the latter, one who acknowledges both the good and the bad in their history,
strengthening the strong point in order to make them stronger, rather than sweeping
the negative under the rug and blaming internal criticism on the perennial "foreign
enemy", always a convenient scapegoat.

Poland has had a truly glorious history; Chopin, Mickiewicz, Mme.Curie, Apollinaiere, Casimir
Funk, Jan Karski, Karol Wojtyla etc.. That history has also been marred by the likes of
Roman Dmowski, Moscicki, even Gomulka, responsible in large measure for the "brain drain"
from Poland to the West during the end of the '60's!

Germany too, a nation of wondrous contribution to the world, many unrivaled in science, music, research
and the visual arts....and then there was Hitler.

The US has accomplished much within a scant two-hundred-fifty years, among these achievements its
Constitution, the promise of human equality, Thomas Alva Edison who ushered in the modern world,
Abraham Lincoln, whose Emancipation Proclamation remains a beacon of freedom to all.

However our greatness has also been seriously flawed by our history of violence against the Native
Americans, the unrelenting, persistent bigotry towards the Black man and non-white aka European
foreigner.

I therefore consider myself an American patriot, but not a nationalist.

Nazi Germany's the prime example. Trump's hybris will follow suit, trust me.

All I can say is that if Weidel wins, it'll set back German-American-Israeli relations over sixty-five years at least!
After all the former West Germans particularly did in order to normalize some semblance of closeness in post-War
German-Jewish relations, Rolf Pauls, West Germany's first ambassador to Israel must be turning over in his grave.

Language / Do Poles prefer US American or UK English language? [185]

I've heard both, actually!
Seems the younger the Poles, the more attractive American English
is, whereas older Poles or Poles over 50, tend to lapse into the British
English they learned no doubt in school, or perhaps on vacation in the UK.

Of course it's valid, Ironside! I'm simply applying your

Troll?? You don't understand the meaning of the word.

Handy rationalization you've got there, Ironside.

Care to justify it for us? For a Faschist, everything against Faschism is Marxism
and so we're back to square one....as usual.

An interesting volume in which you might be interested by a post-War German
historian who tried to explain the Holocaust in terms of the Germans associating
Bolshevism with Judaism; get rid of the Jews and you'll get rid of the reviled
Bolshevism.

Trump will soon learn that he can't break the resolve of the American people,
much as with McCain when he was a POW; they broke his back, but they couldn't
break his spirit, son and grandson of career admirals notwithstanding!

Trump's die hard supporters are nothing more than avowed racists, infantile
low lives who are mere sandbox bullies and don't represent either
the true fighting spirit of Jefferson or FDR.

We don't want or need a king, buster. Ol' King George I and his Red Coat minions found that out
the hard way.

Hitler's henchmen did too when the US bombed their butts back to the Stone Age.

Only a matter of time before Trump feels the same people's ire.

And YOU call yourself an American, a patriot no less??! You wrap yourself in Old Glory and

The enemy is within, not abroad. Sorta reminds me of Daniel Ellsberg's

we WERE the wrong side."

The same applies to Herr Trump.
