    Ah. So you basically admit to be totally clueless about what the US did... but you're posting all over in this thread about how they were wronged. You obviously never even bothered to look up a thing. I posted a link in post 275.

    If we have people in the AF who are refusing a lifesaving vaccine for free and thus endangering us all for no reason whatsoever then we are better off without them.

    Bullshirt. Most libertarians I know are closet authoritarians anyway. Extremely committed to ensuring my freedom to starve or die from easily preventable diseases but suddenly inventing non-existent "unborn" constituents only they represent to obviate my wife's right to control her own body.

    Trump was racist, a fascist and a nut. His election as the main representative of one of our political parties is why we have this collective insanity taking over our politics now. It's a permanent stain and disgrace on the Republicans and will hopefully end them as a political influence in this country forever.

    I was no fan of his, but you have nothing on him about being a racist or fascist.

    Google is your friend. Racism is Trump's stock in trade, you know that. There is less that brands him a fascist but there his actions speak loudly.

    Well, not exactly.

    There's no doubt Native Americans warred amongst themselves, and there's also no doubt Europeans took their land.

    Capitalism is an economic system in which business and commerce are owned and operated privately. Socialism is the opposite. It is an economic system in which these things are owned and operated by the state. Marxism is a term defining those who follow the writings of Karl Marx who had little understanding of human nature. Wokeism has as many definitions as there are people. For the most part it represents liberal behavior not supported by conservatives. Let me know if you need any more definitions.

    No. Socialism is an economic system in which business is owned and operated by the state. Social spending the act of the state paying for programs aimed an individuals. We have no socialism in the U.S. We a much social spending. Way too much at the federal level.

    Socialism is not an economic system. There are plenty of places that have socialism in action, like in the USA as I have endlessly pointed out, where businesses are privately owned.

    See above.
    Any specific writings of Marx that you object to?
    We agree that woke is ill defined.
    You mention business and commerce owned and operated privately, that may be your definition of capitalism, but that does not include the areas of activity voted for and operated by the government.
    Private business and individuals pay taxes to that government.
    Taxation with representation.

    No, I think everything he wrote was naive. I don't object to anyone writing whatever they like. I'm a firm believer in freedom of speech.

    It isn't my definition of capitalism. It is THE definition of capitalism. The only business operated by the U.S. government is the postal service. The reason is that it is defined that way in the constitution.

    Yes. Did you want to make a point?

    That is one proof. Indians don't want to be a part of the US. They hate the US.
