How does somebody try communism?
You mean this? I searched that entire list and there is no evidence whatsoever that American antisocialists collaborated with Fascists. Name one example.
Just because the American ruling class refused to hold a major tribunal for Italian Fascists, let Axis personnel continue running concentation camps, relinquished its commitment to justice at Nuremberg, intentionally recruited thousands of surviving Axis employés and collaborators for anticommunism, relied on Axis servicemen for intelligence, gave former Axis employés comfortable jobs in post‐1945 Japan, staffed South Korea’s police with Axis employés, hired Axis criminals for a space programme, defended Axis war criminals in courts, sanitized antisemitic fascists, discretely internationalized fascism, used a Slovakian fascist as an asset, collaborated with fascists to manipulate Italian politics, nurtured a lobby full of Axis collaborators, staffed the NATO with former Axis officials, declined to uproot German Fascism, became unconcerned with neofascist shrines, worked with neofascists to crush Turkish communism, let Axis personnel infiltrate the Republican Party, saluted Waffen‐SS employés, and allows hundreds of monuments to Axis collaborators, doesn’t mean that it failed to destroy fascism.
Show me one example—just one—of an American antisocialist knowingly protecting, endorsing, or reusing an Axis war criminal.
See, when I complained on Nightdive’s Discord server about map glitches that have not been rectified in twenty‐nine years, the excuse that somebody gave to me was that fixing those glitches would result in compatibility issues with other source ports (which would be especially noticeable if attempting multiplayer).
Here is what I wrote:
Is there something in the contract stating that the current designers aren’t allowed to fix old bugs that nobody—and I mean nobody—enjoys?
I mean, the wall running and the silent BFG trick, yeah, but… inaccessible secrets?
Here is the response that two official developers gave me:
So a chunk of the developers for this port are people who have been programming and modding Doom for 20+ years. As such, we tend to err on the side of caution on fixing specific behaviours because we know the knock on effects of trying to fix them, Technical debt is a problem we are trying to avoid, essentially.
If we change something, we have to maintain that change and all systems it affects.
and mod support is on the table, so anything we change has the potential to break 70000 mods[.] unfortunately Doom seems very much built on a table made out of very thin wafers
I replied that while I did not know if that was a sacrifice worth making, I could at least understand why they were making it. Somebody replied,
if it wasnt worth it, doom purists would just be playing (g)zdoom
I never wanted to know what it would have looked like if Luke joined the Dark Side in Return of the Jedi, but now we have our answer.
Agreed. I know that the original poster isn’t siding with the Herzlians, but this is still in questionable taste.
One of the propaganda lies of the wealthy physicians who control the American Medical Association was neatly exposed by Congressman Andrew Biemiller of Wisconsin on July 13, 1950 (Congressional Record, page 10117):
There is the slander campaign against national‐health insurance which calls it socialized medicine despite the fact that the AMA well knows it is not socialized medicine at all. Part of this campaign is the attempt to use the completely discredited alleged quotation from Lenin that “socialized medicine is the keystone of the arch of the Socialist state.” The AMA has been called upon to either document or stop using that quotation, many, many times. Its officials have admitted that the quotation cannot be documented. Experts at both the Library of Congress and the University of Chicago have declared there is no such statement in the known works of Lenin. Yet the quotation continues to be used in published material, in public speeches, and in political assaults. The use of such falsehoods is typical of the AMA approach to issues of public health, and they can no longer be defended on the lame grounds of ignorance of the truth. They are willful perversions of the truth. (Italics are mine.—M.K.)
Isn’t there something monstrous about the idea that men of power and wealth will try to block much‐needed health insurance for the poor by dangling the scarecrow of a phoney Lenin quotation? And even if Lenin had said this, what would be its relevance forty or forty‐five years later? Must millions of Americans be barred forever from adequate medical care because of something Lenin wrote? How crazy can we become?
I promise that Russia will lose the war tomorrow.
It has been a while since I watched anybody try the first Call of Duty, but there were several instances where the Soviets shot retreaters, and I vaguely remember the Soviet missions depicting the ‘human wave’ stereotype in a few scenes. I’d have to watch a longplay to be sure. The Soviet missions were not nearly as angsty as Company of Heroes 2, but there were some irksome moments.
Welcome again to Lemmygrad. Judging from your comment history, I see that you have some expertise in computer hardware, diplomacy, formal logic, geoeconomics, geopolitics, investigative journalism, media literacy, military tactics, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, the German language, the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Russian Federation, and Ukraine.
We have few regulars interested in so many subjects. Have you been consulting capitalismindecay? What do you think of it?
This is a very serious accusation. Unfortunately, I found one fatal flaw with it:
Your report is now invalid.
I am sure that there is nothing to worry about in the Ukrainian army. I’m not saying that the Ukrainian army is perfect, maybe one or two soldiers have committed a couple atrocities, but nothing that’s a big deal. Everything is fine. Calm down and go back to your daily lives.

You joke, but many antisocialists seriously think that this is a good argument in favor of capitalism.
