@historypoliticsbb I like turtles

@ped200014 Non sequitor is me pointing out how Germany achieved full employment thanks to complete control of their own country (ridding themselves of the private central bank) and then you talking about Germany invading Poland because you couldn't answer any of my points.

[ped200014]

@historypoliticsbb It's only strange because it's a non sequitor

[historypoliticsbb]

@ped200014 And when the USSR invaded the other half of Poland. Strange how nobody ever wants to talk about that though...

[ped200014]

@historypoliticsbb Yeah, when Germany invaded Poland....

@ped200014 The FDR adminstration did not emerge from the depression until they entered the war in 1941. Their great depression continued right through the 1930s, unlike Germany which achieved full employment by 1939.

'Economic growth' is really irrelevant to people, it places profit over people, makes people slaves to the 'Economy'. What matters are homes,access to food and clean water. Bottom line, Germany achieved this thanks to debt free money, they provided everyone with what they needed.

[ped200014]

@historypoliticsbb Yeah because of their arms production for the war effort. Not because they had stable economic growth. Same thing could be said for the FDR administration.

[historypoliticsbb]

Could Chomsky be more wrong about the Nazis? In the 1920s there was chaos and mass poverty. By 1939 Germany achieved full employment, full housing and had the fastest growing economy in the world. Workers were given special 'days-out', this is documented.

Closing the Federal Reserve, and the government printing it's own money is exactly what America (and most of the world) needs right now. No debt, no interest, no bankers sucking up the world's wealth, just money as a means of exchange.

@KrugmanTheKing "As a result, guns became widely available. Factional fighting escalated into mini–civil wars across China . . . The regime began sliding into something close to anarchy . . . Mao quickly realized that his “storm troopers” notion would not work everywhere. So, while he continued to build up a force of them 1 million strong in Shanghai, where he had particularly strict control, elsewhere he had to rescind his decree to “arm the Left."

It's a double-edged sword.

@KrugmanTheKing Oops, I should clear up a simplistic statement.

"But this order to distribute arms to civilians opened up a can of worms . . . As a result, guns became widely available. Factional fighting escalated into mini–civil wars across China, involving practically all urban areas. The regime began sliding into something close to anarchy for the first time since taking power nearly two decades before."
