A. E. Samaan Quote

"Fascism, communism and national socialism all share in common the explicit premise that the individual must subordinate himself to society's needs, or as Hitler would phrase it: 'Society's needs come before the individual needs.' "

It is that exact tyranny that the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land parrots as its primary mantra.  -- Mike, Norwalk      5
Collectivist societies which no longer value the individual more than conformity, suppress excellence until they have nothing but dreary mediocrity.  -- empty pockets, NO, La      8
Fascism, Communism and National Socialism are all systems to deny, violate and erase the natural Unalienable Rights and Choices of the Individual.  -- Mary - MI      6
Okay, Mike: the 'Slstatist therocracy' that is infesting your POS country in 2008 inherited a total mess. They took the control of the White House with unemployment at 8.2% and $1.2 T USD in deficit. Now unemployment is 6.5% and your deficit is down to under $1 T USD: or do facts not matter fantasy universe? Which part of this is bad or so evil that you have to constantly revile the people that turned everything around, despite being opposed at every corner by a Republican Senate and House. Everything in your country, in the last eight years, has been better. Now, you want to throw it all away on a orange-dyed clown, who will surely become the last POTUS.  -- L. Hanson, Edmonton, Canada      8

"The individual must subordinate himself to society's needs" -- and who speaks for society when the individual is subordinate? What are society's needs and who says? And who enforces 'society's' needs? This herd mentality is exactly what meat packers want. Hanson's statistics are incomplete and do not account for millions of unemployed who are not counted 18 months after their unemployment benefits expire. I don't know what deficit numbers you are quoting but as far as deficit goes, well ;-), ALL the money in circulation is borrowed at interest, and the US money supply was increased dramatically (QE1,2,3,4,...) Real GDP is practically nil, and this credit bubble is being propped up to keep up appearances. But the next crash is likely coming -- and I would prefer that Trump be on the scene rather than the Clinton's. At least Trump knows how currencies work as well as international trade. Obama and Hillary are in the pockets of Wall Street -- always have been.  -- E Archer, NYC      4
L. Hanson, Facts do matter and when I reference the statist theocracy infesting this land, that includes the more stupid and gulable of the patrons that live in such northern states as Alberta (the disenfranchised helot, serf and slave step children). Five Percent (5%) unemployment at 31 December 2007 according to United States Department of Labor. Mr. Obamunist Goodwrench came into office touting shovel ready jobs. Not statistically but, by pure numbers, there are over 40,000,000 fewer people employed (of employable wage and physically able) as of this date than when compared to that same date of 31 December 2007. Children on government assistance has risen to over 60% of all children in Socialist Amerika. Over the last 4 years, the U.S. has had more business fail than start (the first time ever) and that doesnt count all the companies that have left due to socialist over regulation and over taxation. Adjusted for inflation, Amerikans are bringing home less money for hours worked than 8 years ago. Socialist legislation has systematically continued to increase its usurpation, tyranny and racism. L. Hanson, I guess your definition of better and evil differ from mine.  -- Mike, Norwalk      6
This is not correct, fascism is pure self-interest, while communism and socialism is the communities' social attention paid appropriately to the individual and their appropriate position in the societal structure.   -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown      2
Wrong.  Both fascists and communists call themselves socialists — because they are!  They are authoritarian, statist, and anti-liberal in nature, the very antithesis of a liberal republican form of government founded upon the natural born rights of the people. A truly socialist democracy is the centralization of power by 2 warring socialist factions, the 'left' (communist) and the 'right' (fascist) ever vying for the seats of power of the ruling class, which is the complete opposite of a constitutional representative government supported by the distributive powers of the people (individuals) across thousands of counties, 50 states, and 3 branches of national government that each are checks upon the other. It is a typical argument of the collectivist (statist) that individualism is 'selfish' while in fact the individual looking out for his own self interest is the very basis of liberty.  Socialists find individualism a constant thorn in their side because they take responsibility for their own lives rather than bow to the whims of the truly selfish who lay claim to the power to dictate to others because they know better — or as you constantly remind us, that YOU are the only adult in the room, and the rest of us are children in need of your guidance.  I am willing to bet, Fred, you have no children of your own, hmm?  Am I right?  -- E Archer, NYC      2
Mr Archer, one thing I would like to confirm, is that I am not in a contest of who is right and who is wrong. I am here, first and foremost, to learn and grow.  With that conceptualization in mind, I would now wish to focus on the the concepts of the swindle or scam which is really what most have used for any activity of material gain in our environment, and the term Socialism has been apart of the swindle or scam procedures. I am not attempting to swindle or scam, I simply assert that the social feature is the most basic of our being and has been misidentified, and in the case of  this misuse, it must be accurately clarified.   -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
If that is truly the case, Fred, you will have to start speaking English.  "Socialism has been apart of the swindle or scam procedures" — do you mean 'apart' or 'a part'?  What swindle?  What scam? What procedures? What is 'our environment'?  Please come down to Earth and stop speaking in generalities.  It is only when you make clear unambiguous statements that the truth comes out — that your ideas are authoritarian in nature, and differ little than those espoused by Hitler and Stalin.  Seriously.  -- E Archer, NYC      2
We need a national housing project with everyone living in the same basic sheltering guidelines. No individual is afforded or according anymore valued living quarters than anyone else. You just might find yourself living right next door to Bill Gates or Warren Buffet and this shouldn't be the least surprising to either one of you if the appropriate information guidelines are put in place.   -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown      2
We need a national transport rail system put into place where we transport around cities and between cities on rail, light rail in the cities, heavy rail between cities.  The trains themselves stocked with goods and services so you can both enjoy journeying and accomplishing day to day tasks at the same time.     -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown      2
Mr Archer, you might notice, I hold no designs on any great office or title or possess any, I'm just the voice of democracy and social responsibility, yet I'm more effective than all the presidents, chairman, kings, queens, princes or princesses, emperors put together.    -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown      3
"We need a national housing project with everyone living in the same basic sheltering guidelines. No individual is afforded or according anymore valued living quarters than anyone else. " NO, NO, a thousand times, NO!  See the former USSR where this was put into practice — it is the very definition of tyranny and servitude!  It is the gospel of envy and the curse of ignorance.  -- E Archer, NYC      2
"I hold no designs on any great office or title or possess any." This is not an accident — you are in fact NOT more effective than presidents, monarchs, or emperors, you are living in a narcissistic dream world.  You are ALONE, have no power, and if your ideas were followed, that would herald the end of the world.  Heed the council of the last known remnants of your friends: snap out of it!  The path you are on leads into the abyss.  -- E Archer, NYC      1
Fred, the means to such an end (and history has proven 'by any means necessary') would be bloody and disastrous.  Shame on you for being willing to pay such a price for your utopian wet dreams which would NEVER come to fruition, only result in the death and destruction of those who would rather die than live in your socialist nightmare.  Your hubris is astounding.  -- E Archer, NYC      2
Mr Archer, my dream world would be the beginning of both genuine humankind and genuine civilization.   -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown      1
So, Mr Archer, the USSR decided that Mr Putin, Mr Attila the Hun charm school summa cum laude graduate, needed a billion dollar mansion and so disbanded, bullfeathers. Soviet Russian didn't perform anything near what I PROPOSE. We need all inclusive, non exclusive housing project under a universal guidelines leaving absolutely no one without a HOME.    -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown      2
Mr Archer, what I purpose is functional, wholesome and is a nonviolent inevitability.   -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown      2
Sillik, your a shallow idiot thinking off topic / misdirection religious babble helps your word salad — it does NOT ! ! !  It doesn't matter what you do from a socialist base, it won't work. Attila the Hun didn't necessarily participate in a socialistic endeavor. Marx, Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Castro, Pol Pot, etc., etc., etc. all practiced differing forms of socialism with the same end result.  -- Mike, Norwalk      1
Sillik, that is a lie based in religion.  -- Mike, Norwalk      1
Mike, Norwalk, I'm always, always on topic because feeding, clothing, housing, and developing the species is the only topic there really is, everything else is razzle dazzle, the picket fence, the dipsy doodle, and politics as usual.   -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown      2
Fred, no other species requires a central 'scrutinizer' to plan for its existence — neither does humankind.  We can trace all social ills to such arrogance.  Please, the world is not in need of your saving it — you can't do it, there is no way to pay for it even if you enslaved every soul on Earth, but you can kill off billions in the process which is the not-so secret aim of the geo-fascists that count you among their useful idiots who will happily make life unlivable for those that would rather be free to guide their own lives as they see fit than be enslaved by the likes of you 'for their own good.'  Pitiful.  -- E Archer, NYC      2
Mr Archer is the acknowledgement that 1+1=2 slavery, is the acknowledged fact that the planet is a round spherical globe slavery?   Mr Archer, there is no arrogance in insisting that individuals live in appropriate developmental behavioral regulation and principle.  It is complacency and neglect that will kill us.   -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown      2
Sillik, your here lie is beyond laughable and is nothing more than a religious off topic / misdirection to disguise you desired enslavement of the noble specie.  -- Mike, Norwalk      2
