The problem is that western propaganda is very strong...
The Germans killed more than Stalin ever came close to... it is the attempt to equate Nazism with Communism that creates the need to distort the truth.
The west has exterminated most of the native cultures on the planet but that is ignored.
I am proud to say I am a socialist too... communism didn't work, but then with better management it might end up the best system of all.
Capitalism isn't working either... voting for the most popular candidate has become a farce made even more so by the fact that the rich are bribing both political parties to get laws that help them maintain their monopolies and increase their profits, and pay their workers less until they can't pay them any less and have to move production to the third world
Consumerism is bubble and burst bubble and burst, with most governments getting into debt, which means they are controlled by the countries who lend money... which of course leads to small countries betraying their own people and opening them up to exploitation by the rich... which previously meant the west.
The problem for the west is that China has realised what the game is and is now playing too and Russia will do the same, but China and Russia don't have the history of being total bastards like the west has... the west had no competition so they were total
most of the time... but now there is competition... competition from countries that are often offering a better product for a much better price and with no strings attached except the fact that the west will become hostile if you buy their products. All China and Russia and anyone else who wants to play needs to be able to do is replace the west.
Iran was isolated by the west so China saw the opportunity to buy their oil products and likely sell all sorts of stuff, and make all sorts of deals... it will help Iran but also make money for China and secure resources for China at a rate they wouldn't get with any other customer. They aren't screwing Iran... they are actually helping them.
The great white west PD thinks is so damn wonderful spends a lot of time destroying countries... usually because they are getting in the way of American companies making money.
Very simply what I believe is that there needs to be a balance... certain things can't be left to "big business" to control and run... most of the time they really don't have the customers interests at heart, and just want to create a monopoly for themselves and once they got that they will screw the customers for every penny they can because there are no alternatives left.
You might suggest that is where capitalism shines because when private companies are charging too much then it is an opportunity for another company to come in and offer a better deal... saving the consumers money and being a real hero.... the problem is that those big companies will recognise the threat and will buy out the little company, or just squash them like a bug...
Police forces, Prisons, Schools, Healthcare, all need to be publicly funded and publicly run because they are in the public interest.
Everybody pays tax to contribute to roads and bridges... why wouldn't you pay for healthcare and education too?
The US has the most expensive healthcare in the world which makes it inaccessable for a sizeable proportion of the population, but they will spend three quarters of a trillion dollars on "defence".
More importantly most people don't give a shit about politics except stuff that directly effects them.
Those black lives matters protesters don't care about the ozone layer, they have one problem they are focussed on and don't care about anything else.
Here in New Zealand on our 10 dollar note we have a lady called Kate Sheppard... she was a suffragette... she wanted voting for women. Learned about her in school. Thought she was a hero. Turns out she wanted voting rights for women at a time when working people didn't get a vote... only male land owner got the vote at that time so she was demanding the vote for all women at a time when most people didn't get a vote anyway.
I would have had more respect for her if she was demanding the vote for all adults over 18 years of age...
The point is that western democracy doesn't work at all either... soviet communism could have worked... the way chinese communism is working, but not while trying to fight off the entire western world and her colonies.
World War 2 happened because Britain and France and the US decided to blame WWI squarely on the shoulders of Germany, and basically whipped and pilloried Germany for the next 40 years... even today WWII was a war against the German bad guys.
Britain and France and the US are not trying to equate Nazism and Communism so they can blame Russia for everything.... which is weird because the west was happy to jump into bed with Stalin to get his help against Hitler and said lots of nice things about the Soviets at the time, but then they jumped straight in to bed with Nazi west germany and imperial japan when that war ended...
If they don't have an enemy then they will realise how many problems they have of their own that need fixing...
You killed half of your own population, it was definitely last laugh for quite a few folks, RIP

WW2 happened because Germans were given an open playing field, this would not have happened had commies not surrendered WW1
