    I have to be honest, only ignorance on the subject would be responsible for a retort like that. I will show you something.

    Do you know North Korea full title is "Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea" - now is North Korea democratic? No it isn't. Is North Korea a republic? No, they have a monarchy. The United States, a nation built on democracy and it is a republic, are they the same as North Korea because North Korea's name? That is what you're currently arguing.

    Hitler hated socialism. He was foremost a Nationalist. When he came into power, first things he did was ban the socialists from government, and sent them off to prison camps, and later exterminated them. He saw himself as an antithesis to socialism and capitalism, the "third way", and created a totalitarian regime. The reason for the name was because after WW1, there are effectively two camps, the socialists and the nationalists. His party was an 'experiment' in trying to unite two opposing factions under his banner.

    On a side note: "i won't give away who I am voting for in presidental election as he is quite controversial" .. there is only 1 male candidate, Donald Trump.

    I still think that a capitalism that is heavily restricted by socialism is probably best until we find and try a system that works better than both, but I guess the world just has to be black and white...

    Hmph Bested me there. However there was a faction running with Hitler that did interpret Socialist part of the message as literal Marxist socialism though, i think his name was Otto if i can recall correctly.
    also Hey you guessed right.
    didn't mean to come off angry if that's what my post relayed.

    Also there is an issue on what you call 'capitalist' too. Since there is the corrupt hypercapitalism in places like the USA where corporates buy the government.
    There's world of difference between 'crony capitalism i.e corporatism and real capitalism.

    And since you mentioned Argentina, that one was ruined again by a capitalist
    Argentina was at the beginning of the 20th century the equal of the USA in GDP. A few decades of socialist policies soon put an end to that caper.

    Are capitalists proud of kicking people who already lie on the ground?
    Yes I kick puppys too.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    And then a capitalist came along and socialized his losses to bring the country to its knees once more. Maybe there is a socialist even in the biggest capitalists, just wait until they end up on a losing streak in the big lottery of capitalism and/or see an opportunity to socialize their losses. It's easy to say socialism failed due to the way humans are, but then I'd argue that capitalism devolves into corporatism all the time for the same reasons.

    I think this is exactly the point. We could point at extreme examples, then tar everyone with the same brush.
    Does InsaneApache as a capitalist want to sell off his mother? Does Husar who believes that people should have a fair wage, want to send people off to gulags? The answer to both of these are no (I hope) and would be silly to suggest otherwise.

    The socialist theorist that I admire most is George Orwell. That's someone who formed his ideas by attempting to live the lives of the oppressed, analysing their position in relation to those who are in power, and coming up with ideas to improve lives. And not ducking any difficult questions that arise from factional politics. His socialism is non-factional, but grimy with sweat.

    Wow you're really into that non existent oppression malarkey aren't you, I don't think you can conjure up the homeless of France as oppressed, Have you even read down and out in Paris and London not once did he mention the homeless as oppressed, he even mentions you become homeless due to the choices you make in life. George Orwell wasn't socialist theoreist at all he even despised socialism as a dogma a route to communism or totalitarianism, went into the Spanish Civil War as an Communist/Socialist and came home with a lot of anarchist ideals the books he wrote such as Animal Farm and 1984 will testify to that.

    However George Orwell was undogmatic, and dissaproved of dogmatism in socialism.

    Does InsaneApache as a capitalist want to sell off his mother?
    I tried that but there were no takers. Someone suggested giving her a good ironing might help.

    A great video which draws parallels between the Roman Empire and the pelopennisian war and the ever encroaching EU army to make the case for leaving the EU

    It is however, unlike you stated by altering the quote, not displaying ignorance on the subject.

    Unlike many, who either flock to 'remain' or 'leave', then demonize the otherside, I have criticized both. I find the decision to be difficult due to conflicting personal views. I have also read a lot on the subject. So trying to dismiss one of the least ignorant people on the subject as "ignorant" only reflects poorly on yourself.

    A United States of Europe or as I like to put it the EUSSR, as an idea Is not inherently a 'bad thing' but to implement this concept would take fairly benign and sinister actions, undermining of each European Countries culture language and a lot of people would not just simply accept this it would therefore take genocide, mass killings, re-education, weakening of societal values, oppression, mass immigration etc.

    All details can be found in the Kalergi Plan.

    Honestly I am not sure if it is even all that desireable, if it wasnt for the immigration issues and the prospect of membership including those too underdeveloped or culturally incompatible for stability in the EU, this level of european integration would be a pretty comfortable status quo for us. Only problem is, even if those two issues were solved, there's still the incessant drive for further unnecissary and even detrimental integration that we seem to be becoming incapable of keeping in check.

    The hollow men. The EU in it's current state is doomed, nobody wants it except those that do. I love simplicity as complexity is too complicated for me, and it seems pretty straightforward to me that there should be a northen-EU. maybe including Germany if the AFD can send the Merkel back to the village of her childhood to raise cows and report it to the owner of the farm if the cow do something wrong, she is perfect for the job she knows how these things work, plenty experience.

    It's tragic as some eurocrats are genuinly ideologic I won't doubt their good intention.
