		<description><![CDATA[&quot;...The Nazis wanted to build a Thousand-Year Reich, but because they couldn’t even manage their economy for a decade’s worth of real growth...&quot;

This is not true and is a lie. While farmers in the US were hanging themselves in their barns German workers were going on vacations.

The reason this is so is because Hitler took away the power of the Jew bankers who destroyed the whole entire nation. The banks under the Nazis served the country not the Jews. Using financialization Jews bought up the whole economy and pauperized all the Germans except a few politicians they bribed and blackmailed to let them get away with it. And the more things change, the more they stay the same.


I this absolute deluge of cash given to the bankers, hedge funds and everyone else allied with the Jews, [certainly somewhere over $43 trillion. A shit load of money], were spread around to the middle class there would be no homeless, there would be no poverty. We would be wealthy.
The saying,&quot;And one day for no reason at all the Germans voted in the Nazis&quot;, is apropos.

Kirk is Jewish and a smart guy but he constantly works to hide, tweak the truth or cover up what the Jews have done to hide the situation as the Jews turn everywhere they go into a shit hole. If you believe even half of what he&#039;s said he&#039;s done he&#039;s been everywhere and has done everything. Is he lying? I don&#039;t know but  a very large amount of the time you can not count on Jews to tell the truth. Most everything they utter has some little twist of propaganda or bullshit thrown in. It&#039;s so incessant I have come to believe it&#039;s like a genetic nervous tic that they can&#039;t control.

They are doing the same in the US that they did in Germany. Jews are the ones funding, promoting and providing support for BLM and antifa. It&#039;s no surprise, or shouldn&#039;t be, that the people attacking Kyle that got their asses shot off were Jews.

Hell the Jews are even using the same flag they used in Germany to try and take it over with commies so they could kill off the Germans like they did the Russians. Everywhere the Jew commies did take over they immediately started massacring the fuck out of people. Even though the Germans lost the war I have no doubt that they lost less people fighting off the Jews in war than they would have if the Jews had taken them over like they did in Russia.

There&#039;s nothing to be done about this but throw the Jews out, again, it&#039;s the only thing that works with these psychopaths, as they will never stop agitating to overthrow governments and kill off everyone who doesn&#039;t want to be their slave. It&#039;s their own damn fault for continuing to behave this way for thousands of years. They have some sort of genetic disorder where they can not live in peace with anyone. They always have to totally dominate them or they are not satisfied.

And don&#039;t bother to complain that I&#039;m antisemitic, first it&#039;s Jews I hate not semites and second it&#039;s as if you had a red neck in a suburb playing country music at full blast at three o&#039;clock in the morning, firing off shotguns every hour and then complaining that people are racist and don&#039;t like red necks because people called the police on them. And the Jews are even worse than this as they destroy the whole damn country.

We need a Hitler.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lucklucky,

I&#039;m speaking to the reality of implementation, not the efficacy of its use in the confidence games made by the various demagogic swindlers who&#039;ve used it to snare the marks into the con.

It&#039;s a lovely tool, for that: You need never actually produce the imagined cornucopia, and you can use the fact that there isn&#039;t one in the first place against your enemies, blaming them as &quot;wreckers&quot; that have prevented you from keeping your promises to the rubes.

It is really sad how you can analyze a lot of politics using the framework of organized crime, and observe just how prevalent this behavioral pattern is for our species. For example, you can look around you and observe that the forces behind the Democratic Party are conducting themselves in such a manner that you can observe the features of your typical &quot;bust-out&quot; operation dedicated to extracting all the value from a legitimate enterprise, and then destroying it.]]></description>

Absolutely right.

WRT how stupid they are, there is a left-wing/Marxist publication spouting the usual Marxist garbage, called (I shit you not!) &quot;The Jacobin&quot;.  Not the Rights of Man, or the Revolution or whatever, but Jacobin.  That they can be so completely historically unaware of how their namesakes ended up! 

The thing that ultimately drove Yuri Bezmenov to defect was knowing that the Indian communist activists he worked with, liked and respected, would be second against the wall come the actual revolution.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Paul,

The one thing I&#039;ve noted about most Marxist types is that they seem to be entirely unable to learn from the experience of others. They&#039;re also some of the stupidest people I&#039;ve ever met, in general. Even the ones running the long con aren&#039;t that bright, because they seem to be entirely unable to recognize and work around the facts that their ideas just don&#039;t work.

What they do possess, unfortunately, is a glib self-assurance and certainty that they &quot;know best&quot;, and that&#039;s a tremendously seductive siren call for a lot of people. They claim that they&#039;re interested in &quot;improving life&quot; for everyone, but what they leave out is that they&#039;re going to have to set up a bunch of re-education camps and gulags for everyone who doesn&#039;t agree with them, and that there may need to be a few salutary holodomor-like events to really get things rolling.

The &quot;dictatorship of the proletariat&quot; always seems to need a certain amount of tyranny and a requirement to crush dissent right along with individual liberty. No matter who, no matter where, it always ends in death camps and massacres, because the vast majority of the human race simply will not comply with a socialist regime. In frustration, the new elites always resort to killing the dissenters, the ones who ask &quot;Hey, how is this going to work...?&quot;.

The other issue is that the typical socialist wannabe is unable to observe that the world is far more complex than they understand, or are capable of understanding. They try to implement the &quot;5-year plan&quot;, and discover that they actually knew jack and shit about what lay beneath all of the economy they&#039;re trying to command from the capital. A traditional market economy manages all that with such ease that they fool themselves into thinking that they can do better, and the fact is, they cannot. Traditional market economies are messy, and prone to abuses, but they have the signal advantage of working when they&#039;re left the hell alone to function. Socialism simply does not--You cannot remove the incentive from things, and then try to control everything from the top. It won&#039;t work--You&#039;re not God, to know when and why every sparrow falls. Chaos reigns supreme, and the only thing that can cope with it is a traditional market economy that&#039;s been built up over hundreds of generations.

Hell, there&#039;s good evidence that even primitive hunting bands have market economies, or else we wouldn&#039;t be finding cowrie shells all over the inland Plains states.

All of this fantasy-wankery turns to disaster, if it&#039;s allowed to take over a country. Witness Venezuela or the Soviet Union. God alone knows where Russia would be today, had the Tsar had the wit and wisdom to stay the hell out of WWI. I&#039;d wager it&#039;d be a much more developed and a lot happier place. Unfortunately, the Russians have a natural talent for fucking things up, mostly by trusting in autocrats to run things. End of the day, Putin is going to be remembered as another in a long line of Russian leaders who made really stupid long-term decisions.

Whole thing is a sad commentary on the essential feckless credulity of the average human, and the equally essential nature of the usual human who is &quot;called to leadership&quot;--Which are almost always &quot;confidence men&quot; and swindlers out for their own benefit.]]></description>
