Karl Marx was a man so profoundly incompetent he never supported himself: Engels propped him up his whole life. Yet he thought to organise the World, under the most stupid “political system” ever dreamed up, Communism. A totalitarian system of central control of the many by a very few through a system of terror via informers, secret police & gulags.
Communism kills:

Note how high Communist China, USSR & Cambodia figure in this gruesome tally.
Communism is fatally stupid because it fails totally to take human nature into account. It is a system which can only work in the imagination of an intellectual without much practical experience of the real world. & I’ve almost 40 years of experience in business to back that statement.
Communism & Fascism a “Bankster Project”?
I recommend William Guy Carr’s Pawns in the Game, 1955. In many ways this is the ideal book to read before G. Edward Griffin’s excellent The Creature from Jekyll Island.

The way the so called moderators police the Guardian’s public comment forums these days is nothing short of sinister.

Thanks. Reading the other comments, it was good to read a more rational reflection on history: a history so widely misconstrued, so largely and heavily edited by pseudo-historians and their senior powers that be and have been, that it was obvious that both Mr. Christopher Gwynne & jdseanjd are both confused and extremely selective and limited in their knowledge: limited by their ZioNazi environments and edited experience of life and reality, today.
I think if many people today were faced with the truth, supported by all requisite evidence, like a copy of Marx & Engels’ industrious contemplation of globalisation, & subsequently smashed lightly on the head with the book simultaneously, commanding their attention to detail and true historic writing, they would quite probably still rest in total denial and think all to be totally implausible, due to the massive legacy of Brainwash in Western climes ..

Do you mind if I ask if you are from the USA or the UK ?
Given that your pet hate seems to be “Communism” , you seem somewhat muddled in its’ true design, construct & completely misinterpreting the word & ideology of “Communism”, as written by MarX & Engels; you proceed to assert random absurd critique, that barely relates, in fact your criticism of “Communism” appears inconsistent & ignorant of any historic reality: when the fact is that we would not even be communicating here & now , were it not for the most significant development under western sponsored pseudo-communism, that of the ‘Sputnik’ !
The first ever Sputnik being but one positive product of what you label as ‘communism’ .. then there was the first ever space travel & of course , the Bulgarian Atanasoff, preceded by Nikola Tesla, all of Slavonic descent ! Computing all things electric and all MicroRadioWave technology, the very keys to our collective futures, gone global, as Marx suggested & Tolstoy re-affirmed, in many ways .. And Dostoevsky even predicted all the “Demons’ that would arise ..
The USA & the CIA is unquestionably A Fascist Corporate Ashkenazi construct, quite feasibly of Khazarian designs to revenge itself on the Russian rejection of the brutal Khazarian societal designs of rule by fear: pretty much along the lines of the Zionazi MSM of today, which still propagates Apartheid & sponsors promotion of Divisions.
I believe it is fair to assert that this world has never experienced either true Communism or Democracy. Would you agree ?
“The Communist Manifesto is probably the most misinterpreted and misused book in history, (probably second to the Bible). Though it may need a few revisions to be applicable to the 21st Century global economy, the core message remains universal and timeless. Marx says that if globalisation is inevitable, workers must rise up to see to it that it serves for the best interests of all humanity. Though he wanted socialism to be established as a phase in fully industialised countries, history had other plans leading to the 1917 revolution in the backward feudal Russian Empire.” (Anon.)
Logic dictates that the DPR (Donbass People’s Republic), wants nothing to do with the Khazarian ZioNazi Central Banking Capitalist mentality of “The Creature from Jekyll Island” (which I have read), as well as their various predecessors in governance, be that Russian or a CIA backed Fascist Ukrainian like Poroschenko , from Kiev: & this has been subject to a DPR referendum. In fact , were it not for the Welshman Hughes and his successors, back in the time of Marx & Engels, we would probably never have seen Shaktar Dontesk winning the football in 2009 ! Because Donetsk was originally called Hughesovka .. (Yusovka until 1917).
“Communism was & is a Bankster project.” This comment alone, discredits most all that you have said, some of which is not far off the truth in some instances: when one has studied the FULL history , since Long long before Veterans Today ever existed .. why misquote Marx & Engels & misconstrue ‘Communism’ ?
Shame that .. would you agree ?

The rescue of the financial parasites after 2008 was the apotheosis of capitalism, not its ‘chucking out the window’.

Name me one article they’ve got wrong.

“Indurated down to a fixture” is a phrase within a comment the Rothschild owned Times of London published in 1862, relating to President Abraham Lincoln having printed debt-free greenbacks. He was assassinated.
Indurated down to a fixture is the prison we reside in now, inside the Western Rothschild Central Bankster Empire. When our spineless politicians declared, 2008, the Mega-banks “too big to fail”, that chucked capitalism out the window. We now have a pretend democracy, an actual crony corporatist Fascism where the Banksters command the supine politicians, decreeing austerity for us plebs & larger profits for themselves.
Iran is not a part of the Central Bankster Empire & has vast oil reserves. Iran is therefore a Western target, along with Russia, on whatever pretexts can be cobbled together by the mad May. An interesting timeline:

Thank you John for your opinions regarding Communism, taken almost verbatim from page 17 of the Young Conservatives little blue manual of deceit and misinformation. Virtually everything you said applies to the free market system, at some time or place. Agreed Stalinist efficiency was deplorable, but by then the pre-revolutionary ideology of Tsarism and Capitalism had risen to cultural dominance, in short everything you describe was a counter-revolution with one critical exception- the planned economy. Paradoxically the degeneration of the Russian revolution is closer to your politics than that of Marx or Lenin.
As to the Off-G topic, it was pointed out from the 19th century that newsprint would represent the interests of the millionaire owners rather than truth or majority interests, and that reflects the social dilemma in which we all live today.

Almost sad to see a ‘libertarian’ paranoiac who does not even comprehend that ‘Veterans Today’ is a disinfo site.
