Politically Incorrect- Vietnam/ Communism, Continued

This is the second part of that discussion.

A discussion of Vietnam and the issue of communism. Good show with Gene Simmons, the always thoughtful Christopher Hitchens, Whoopi Goldberg and Dennis Prager. Bill Goes against convention wisdom and states that the Vietnam war may not have been a waist like every one thinks. I have to admit I don't quite know where I stand on whether that war was worth it myself.

there was never such a thing as communist country.

Money grabbing fucks, would never allow 1 to exist.

Boy, you can tell this is old school because Hitchens is smoking a cigarette...oh the horrors...

@latequilera22 mind = blown

[cygnusx555]

@PaladinHero what point is that?

[latequilera22]

How do you counter evil? By not being evil. There you go.

I'm a HUGE fan of The Hitch but Gene Simmons makes a good point when he reminds everyone that Stalin killed at least as many people as Hitler.

@BorislavX Communism doesn't kill people, humans in power do. And I'm not defending communism, it's a backwards system, but nothing Karl Marx said anything about killing people.

@vavan100 It cannot, it will not, and it should not. Communism is immoral and goes against basic human nature. It will never work, except for ants and bees.

[vavan100]

@wereaux it can and it should, the problem is people are to attached to private property thingy.

[wereaux]

@vavan100 Actually, the truth is that communism cannot exist. Nobody prevented it from happening, it simply cannot happen. That's reality.

[BorislavX]

Goldberg is ridiculous. Communists killed billions of people... It is a shame this person is giving a platform.

I agree with Bill on most things, but then & now his knowledge of foreign policy is occasionaly embarassing. Bill, Gene, and Dennis Prager seem to be unfamiliar with the concept of self-determination. Regardless of what you think of authoritarian Communism, it's for the Vietnamese to decide, not the US gov't (& Ho Chi Ming undoubtedly had a lot of public support within North AND South Vietnam- would have easily won elections to reunify country in '56 which is why Diem/US refused to participate)
