Major Kong. I thought was Kim Jong-un.

[romulo ortiz]

They're arguing about economic systems on a video about a guy riding an atomic bomb. You will never cease to amaze me, YouTube.

Tis but a flesh wound!

Dark Knight Rises should have ended like this.

Well, there's more to North America than just the USA, and then there's South America.

But since you're obviously talking about the US: Yeah, all 300,000,000+ of us are homicidal warmongers. Every single one of us relishes the opportunity cause violence and mass destruction. There is not a single exception; overgeneralizing does not exist.

Seriously though, you might want to refrain from saying such stupid things in the future.

Slim Pickens, he was one of the greatest, all-time character actors, 90% westerns though, but this wasn't one of them.

"Simply put, logistics dictate it's success."

Quite true, but not just for communism! That statement can be applied to capitalism as well.

Logistics depends on infrastructure, however.

The United States provides several examples: the US railway network, the Eisenhower Interstate Highway System, air freight, even the many barges on the Mississippi River.

Pretty much all of that infrastructure was originally put in place to move goods from source to market as efficiently as possible at the time.

actually communism works perfectly in small doses, it's just got a personnel threshold. there's never been a successful communist culture above 250 people, but under that it has a very high success rate. Simply put, logistics dictate it's success.

All systems in their purest form are impractical my point was just that the american government at the time gave communism a bad rep in a suspiciously propaganda style way, probably to distract people from the fact they were being over taxed.
