I did my best to systematically build up a definition of socialism and how #bitcoin prevents it here. Would value any feedback.https://github.com/JWWeatherman/human_threat_model/blob/master/README.md …
"Since 1917—in the Soviet Union, China, Mongolia, Eastern Europe, Indochina, Africa, Afghanistan and parts of Latin America—communism has claimed at least 65 million lives [via] mass deportations, forced labor camps, and police-state terror."https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-communist-century-1509726265 …

Nonsense: - Hitler was a huge fan of state-owned/run products and services - China is a mix of Communism and Socialism, with leaders who only recently allowed capitalist elements. - The attempt to tie authoritarian dictatorships to capitalism is just plain laughable.

"the problem of how the future of the German nation can be secured is the problem of how Marxism can be exterminated." - Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf

Hitler was a socialist, this is not in dispute: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/hitler-and-the-socialist-dream-1186455.html%3famp …

I think you'll find this disputed by most socialists on the planet.

The definition of socialism is state owned/operated industry and government dictation of market/individual choices. Hitler loved both - he was, by definition, a socialist. In case you forget again, you can keep this for quick reference:pic.twitter.com/neY7QTWhYV

I prefer Lenin's definition: We want to achieve a new and better order of society: in this new and better society there must be neither rich nor poor; all will have to work. Not a handful of rich people, but all the working people must enjoy the fruits of their common labour. 1/2

Machines and other improvements must serve to ease the work of all and not to enable a few to grow rich at the expense of millions and tens of millions of people. This new and better society is called socialist society. The teachings about this society are called socialism. 2/2

And the US killed how many in Vietnam, Korea, and the 40+ other wars, invasions and installation of puppet dictators across South America, Middle East and Asia since ?

Ah yes, the entire population voluntarily taxed itself and soldiers risked lives to go overseas to murder random people in a never ending war in the name of the “free market.” Oh wait, the monopolistic state forced it on a citizenry that wanted noting to do with it

The picture isn't so simple. Capitalism (and its attendant ideologies Colonialism and Fascism) claimed plenty of lives of its own, and has a black book with almost as many entries

Not to discourage you Nick, but even the people I shared this fate with, barely talk about it. To me it was like yesterday, and I was not even that much of a victim of that system. I am just a guy who did not like what it did to others. People forget.

...plus censorship, surveillance and informant societies, and POLITICAL CORRECTNESS CULTURE. We either fight this or Life, Liberty, and Property will be appropriated by the Corporate Socialists and Leftists. Also, buy Bitcoin....sharpish.
