That's a load of crap echelon, about the militaries, it's not "have to protect from capitalism" it's "have to protect from themselves". Large
standing armies are NEVER deterrants from war everyone knows this, communist nations have always had HUGE standing armies, because what do huge
standing armies deter? That's right....revolutions!
Every communist nation on this earth was founded by a revolution (because no one would willingly accept it) and to keep communism alive in their
nations, they practice this "revolution worship". Much like America still calls its war a "revolution" rather than a war for independance.
Communist nations always refer to their nation as a REVOLUTION, and their parties are always PARTIES OF THE REVOLUTION!
Well all that talk about revolution, would make the young impressionable youths think, well if revolution for communism was good for our grandfathers,
it'd be good for us to revolt against our leaders, and form an even more perfect utopia!
So hence the rise of secret police, and MASSIVE militaries.
No nation of liberty has ever had a large standing Army, America is about as big as they come, and they have only about 1 million Army personel (give
half a million or so depending on totals of Gaurd/reserve) and about 300,000 in the navy, another 100,000 in Marines and about same for AF totaling to
say about 1.5 - 2.5 million TOTAL military personel, of which very few are actually combat troops.
Russia still has about 2 million men, of which most are infantry. During the Soviet era that number (including reserves) was more around 5 million,
this number was not so much to protect themselves from us (they had nukes for that who needs armies now? Hence all the special ops and counter
terrorism) but to prevent constant revolts, which did break out often, look at Hungary.
Communism is "Equality by force". Which is not acceptable to the human spirit.
I've always associated communism to be much like communities back 5000 years ago, say in the alps, where everyone had to help eachother to survive,
but that's not the case, they did that of their own free will.
Communism is taking people whom don't even know the other exists, taking all they have, and then redistributing less than half of it back amongst
everyone equally, and using the rest of the half, to try and prop up your feeble economy, it just doesn't work.
I've already calculated why there will NEVER be a one world government. The only thing that stimulates economies, is trade, and you can not trade
with yourself the logic behind it just doesn't exist, you can't tax something you are sending from one part of your nation to another part of your
nation, because it does not bring in NEW money, this is the problem with communism, they couldn't bring in new money, they stagnated, like a pond
left with no creek or rain.
While Capitalist nations work, because capitalism is TRADE, and they trade amongst eachother, bringing in new money from the other.
You know say all you'd like echelon, but the Soviet Union WAS communism.
I keep telling people, do not confuse ideology with politics, the Soviet Union was Communism, but an oligarchy, if America were to ever some how
become communist, and still manage to remain democratic, the people of america would soon vote AGAINST communism, as soon as they run out of toilet
paper.
People who have a huge army looming over them don't mind pulling their pants up without whiping their a$s, but free peoples like us do mind and
won't allow such "crap" (no pun intended
