@bookhound63 Yes. Very true. That's why the conservative attack on Marxism and socialism is so ludicrous and furthermore undoubtedly empirically false. The Business Party of the United States has two factions, Democrats and Republicans. The system of electing elites chosen from a group of elites by the group of elites is called polyarchy. It's democracy of the rich elites. It is similar system to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The Grand Duke was elect, chosen from the nobility by the nobility.

@bookhound63 No, thats not in any way correct. Fascism is collaboration of private corporations and government to form unaccountable tyranny. That is the U.S model, in fact most countries in the world are to some degree fascist. Which is terrible and creates widespread poverty, disenfranchisement and corruption. Socialism and Marxism have many more logical and realistic approaches to solving our current world economic crisis. Governments can cut spending, and increase standard of living.

@pushups2345 He was always aware of the socialists, also asking them to leave him alone and run their own candidate for the elections, thereby most likely getting him up to 3 million more votes. The communists destroyed Wallace.

Scott, your grandfather was a genius. I'm a big fan.

@RuflessRecords I guess all of his ideas of racial and gender equality, fears of people hurting the environment and ideas of creating an agreeable foreign policy background was bad for America too. Not to mention he was an agricultural revolutionary that completely redesigned how Americans, and more specifically Iowans, farm and operate. Also, he was highly trusted by FDR, heading foreign policy committees and discussions. Yup, what an ass. (sarcasm).

Henry Wallace was at worst a Stalinist traitor, at best a clown manipulated by bloodthirsty mass-murderers to advance Communism around the world and in the United States.

The employment rolls of his Agricultural Adjustment Administration during the 1930's were loaded with Stalin agents, and he never stopped from defending any spy during his lifetime. His and other descriptions of the trip he took thru the Soviet Union are at the same time laughable and almost horrifying.

[RuflessRecords]

Henry Wallace on Stalin's Gulags where millions of innocent people were murdered or worked to death, after visiting one on an overseas trip as Sec of State:

They are "a combination of the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) and the Hudson's Bay Company".

Must be nice being in a death camp in a slave nation like the USSR and have free citizens from other places come over and describe the death camp as wonderful.

Huhuh, just like Hudson's Bay Company.

why not base the Wallace Global Fund on wallace's post-korean war attitudes, after he discovered he was being used and denounced stalin? it took a lot of courage for him to leave the progressive party and put the final nail in the coffin of organized old left stalinism, which i think is his true lasting legacy

[pushups2345]

@youngbuck189 then why was there a nazi-soviet pact and never a nazi-US or nazi-british pact?

[youngbuck189]

@youngbuck189 You have such a shockingly superficial knowledge of what you are talking about that it's embarrassing to read your comments.

[bookhound63]

@youngbuck189 LOL, You just told me I was right and then turned around and said I was wrong. Do you even know what you are talking about? If fascism is a collaboration b/n private corps and govt, what is socialism except govt taking over private corps? Its the same thing. You get the same results: failure! Why do you think the "peasants are revolting" right now in France and Greece? You are being deceived. Marxism leads to fascism, always has, always will.
