Some of the propaganda is always right. The USA vs. the Soviet Union

Total nonsense. Liberal when young, you have no heart. Not conservative when older you have no brain
“If you’re not a liberal when you’re 25, you have no heart. If you’re not a conservative by the time you’re 35, you have no brain.” This quote is misattributed to Winston Churchill and is often used by conservatives to point out their blind faith. Yes, if you have an IQ of 85 which is…

What would the real Neo-Nazism look like?

Some right-winger gladly points out the inequality was greater in the Middle Ages. Not only it is not the truth but we live in ages with unprecedented inequality (arguably with 19th-century capitalism). Yes, there is scientific and technological progress that has helped billions of people out of poverty and heightened their life expectancy. The Westerners…

Communists have been destroying lives. What about capitalism?
Since the Czechoslovak communists have taken over the power in the late 1940’s huge repression occurred. Around 250 000 people were interned, 248 executed and 8 000 died in prisons. All because of the Stalinist repressions. Most of the people executed were communists sentenced in fabricated trials (some of them, of course, were spies). Klement…
