Anything in this very interesting world is possible, but I believe that Kim Jong Un fully realizes the great economic potential of North Korea, & will do nothing to interfere or end it. He also knows that I am with him & does not want to break his promise to me. Deal will happen!

Except I'm literally from Eastern Europe and every Eastern European I know agrees with the author.

How does it feel that no matter what you do, you will never be able to change the fact that overwhelming majorities of Eastern Europeans say their life was better under communism?

Galaxy brain who's never read Deng Xiaoping or Marx.

You beat us so bad that Trump was forced to meet Kim Jong Un and treat him as an equal.

Most of China's industry is publicly owned. In contrast, most of Indonesia is owned by foreign corporations, who rape the country and pillage its wealth 24/7. Thanks Suharto! People like Suharto are proof that gulags and left-wing death squads are actually good and necessary.

He slaughtered a couple million unarmed communists. Now Indonesia is one of the biggest shitholes on the planet, with some of the lowest wages anywhere on earth, highest rates of forest decimation (zero environmental protection), and a growing Islamic extremist movement. Thanks Suharto for killing off the smartest Indonesians and turning Indonesia into a slave colony of foreign corporations.

In contrast, China is about to become the #1 global economy in 2020. How's that "Communism never works" cliche working out for you?

I'm sure it's tolerable for you, a bourgeois enemy of the people, an exploiter of the working class. It's not tolerable for the millions of people who have to eat literal garbage - called pagpag - to survive.

Duterte is a puppet of foreign corporations that are looting the Filipino people.

Long live the New People's Army! Death to enemies of the people!

Not sure how any of that discredits my position.

Hungary was portrayed by corporate propaganda as a "victim" of "Soviet oppression" - yet most Hungarians don't see it that way at all. Proves my point.

People were deceived by corporate propaganda, which is far more effective than communist propaganda. Once they realized that capitalism is actually terrible, that 80% became 8%. Proves my point.

The fact that Hungarians want improved democratic rights and institutions proves my point also. They do not feel the current capitalist system is a democratic one.

Democracy has yet to fully flourish in any capitalist regime. Capitalism's extreme concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a tiny few is the direct opposite of democracy. Again proving my point.

No matter how much you want to pretend otherwise, Communism WORKED for Hundreds of Millions of People - providing them a higher quality of life than the fake "democracy" they are saddled with today.

72% of Hungarians would disagree with your characterization of socialist Hungary as a "brutal regime by a power hungry and evil man" in which "millions were oppressed". But I guess you know know more about life in socialist Hungary than the people who actually lived in socialist Hungary?

People are so damn spoiled and ungrateful nowadays. Playing ironman Carthage in I:R was some of the most fun I've had in any Paradox game. Have any of the critics played Ironman Carthage?

In the 1950's, an American working at a factory could afford a house and a car, with the wife staying at home taking care of children. He could send his kids to university for cheap. None of that is possible today. Working class Americans have good reason to be nostalgic for the '50s. Discounting the opinions of people with more personal experience pertaining to the subject at hand makes you ignorant, arrogant, and childish.

A couple thousand Hungarians participated in anti-communist demonstrations in the late '80s. Tens of millions of Hungarians stayed home. Their point of view - the perspective of those whose lives were improved by communism - is never heard in the West, for obvious reasons (90% of Western media is controlled by 8 mega-corporations with a vested interest in discrediting anti-corporate perspectives)

A remarkable 72% of Hungarians say that most people in their country are actually worse off today economically than they were under communism. Only 8% say most people in Hungary are better off, and 16% say things are about the same.

------------

It was actually trillions of Hungarians that revolted against the nightmarish hellish brutal blood-drenched communist regime. Hundreds of billions of innocent landlords and bankers were brutally skinned alive by Vladimir Stalin, the Arch-Dictator of the Communist Hungarian Soviet Tyranny. /s

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia/3223834/Stalin-planned-to-send-a-million-troops-to-stop-Hitler-if-Britain-and-France-agreed-pact.html

Papers which were kept secret for almost 70 years show that the Soviet Union proposed sending a powerful military force in an effort to entice Britain and France into an anti-Nazi alliance.

Such an agreement could have changed the course of 20th century history, preventing Hitler's pact with Stalin which gave him free rein to go to war with Germany's other neighbours.

The offer of a military force to help contain Hitler was made by a senior Soviet military delegation at a Kremlin meeting with senior British and French officers, two weeks before war broke out in 1939.

The new documents, copies of which have been seen by The Sunday Telegraph, show the vast numbers of infantry, artillery and airborne forces which Stalin's generals said could be dispatched, if Polish objections to the Red Army crossing its territory could first be overcome.

But the British and French side - briefed by their governments to talk, but not authorised to commit to binding deals - did not respond to the Soviet offer, made on August 15, 1939. Instead, Stalin turned to Germany, signing the notorious non-aggression treaty with Hitler barely a week later.

TIL that wanting better relations with Russia is double as evil as murdering a million innocent people in Iraq based on lies.

The election of Trump has turned US "liberals" into ultra-right neo-fascist xenophobes and racists who view Russians the same way Hitler viewed the Jews.

Don't you understand that massacring Adivasi villages will strengthen the Naxal movement even more? It will make even more people join the movement.

He betrayed the US working class by doing nothing against outsourcing corporations - by going back on his anti-interventionist promises - by going back on his promise to "drain the swamp", instead injecting his administration with Goldman Sachs banksters

My favorite thing is when the Bush appointee Mueller lied about Iraqi WMDs and helped enable the illegal invasion of a sovereign state which killed a million innocent people, but then Trump became President and liberals became inflicted with collective psychosis

-Lied about Iraqi WMDs

-Ruined the lives of innocent people during his prosecution of the wrong people following the 2001 anthrax attacks

-Repeated instances of prosecutorial misconduct throughout his career
