re: Communism did not come from China and Russia

Human nature will never allow egalitarian govt on any large or medium scale, and in a small community, it would only work until the smartest among them figure out how to consolidate power.

I agree. It worked well in the Israeli Kibbutzes because they were small and were besieged by external threats. Remove the threats and human nature will prevail.

The idea that Jewish Americans participated in the institution of American Slavery absolutely BOGGLES the minds of many. Wild stuff.

---

Jews absolutely did.

But that’s not what you said and you know you didn’t read it in a book.

I've never read nor heard anyone claim communism came from Russia and China.


Does the OP often post obvious facts as newly discovered information?

The slave market in NOLA used to shut down on Saturdays. See if you can guess why.

It did not. So i don’t have to guess why.

Your first paragraph is completely in line with my thinking


then you end with another paragraph and a sentence throwing a temper tantrum because I'm supposed to apologize for knowing history?


I don't give a shite that you hate me, even though I've voted for Trump three times. I don't answer to the PT Board Karen

Based on the1860 U.S. Census, about 25% of Southern households owned slaves, with the vast majority being owned by non-Jewish individuals.

Why is per capita such a difficult concept for so many?

It indicates that some Jewish merchants in port cities like Charleston and New Orleans were involved in the slave trade or owned slaves, but their numbers were estimated at less than 2% of the total slaveholding population.

You are citing the 1860 census as an authoritative source of information supporting your argument. Yet the 1860 Census had nowhere to indicate whether you were a Christian or Jew. Literally didn't ask of American citizens to differentiate that aspect about themselves.

What information do you have that contradicts the 1860 census?

Ignoring for a moment how irrelevant it is that you are referencing a US census that did not even require citizens to indicate a religious affiliation/identity as the foundation of your understanding of the “facts” regarding this specific topic: for starters there are a litany of American Jewish organizations/scholarship that do shine light on the their 19th century American Jewish ancestors for both their participation and overall impact on slavery in this nation's history.

It's just not some antisemtic BS conspiracy to observe that the Jewish American community had their hand in the cookie jar of slavery just like the Christian American community, except that the Jewish community in America was actually overrepresented compared to their miniscule percentage of the total American population in the 1860s.

Oh, and I forgot about the fruits of the slavery. A 19th century euphemism for jews was 'cotton trader.' See if you can guess why.

Big money pulled strings and forced Ulysses Grant to bend the knee but he wasn't wrong about jewish involvement in the slave trade. I guess Judah Benjamin wasn't a real guy either, huh?

As for communism, the early 20th century anti-communist movement in America was called 'antisemitic,' claiming that 'communist' was just a code word for jews. In truth, it's just that so many of the communists were jews.

Maybe you didn't invent the basic tenets, but you sure as shite were at the forefront of spreading it.

Even in China.

Workers build. Do the heavy work. The capitalist collects the money. Nothing wrong with being a capitalist. But let's be honest about it.

---

And when workers become educated and skilled, they can own the means of production too by starting their own company.

Under communism there is zero opportunity. Under Capitalism there is ample opportunity.

Capitalism isnt for everyone, people who arent competitive and unable to self manage primarily, but for everyone else its an opportunity to be whatever you want to be.

Communism requires hard work which I doubt most communists consider. Thats why socialism is so hot among the lazy people.

quote:

---

Communism did not come from China and Russia
It came from Germany and Great Britain

It really speaks to the cesspit you swim in, that many of those you with whom you associate actually believe Marx and Engels were Chinese. Just don't extend that assumption past your immediate circle. It won't go over well in the real world, and you'll look far dumber for the attempt.

Socialism and Communism are platforms for weak, unhappy, sheeple.....designed and implemented by cruel and selfish elitists!

Capitalism and Freedom works!!!!!!
