Actually, it is.

Equality of opportunity is less important than extent of opportunity. Socialism achieves equality of opportunity by depriving everyone of opportunity equally.
You are opinionating about the false characteristics of a socialist economy.

No, I am identifying the logical consequences of socialism for an economy, consequences that have been observed in practice every single time socialism has been tried on a societal scale.
In a non socialist economy, inheritance is a privilege because not everyone can have inheritance in a non socialist economy.

No. That is merely an advantage, like being born more intelligent, beautiful or talented than others, not a privilege, because it doesn't take anything away from others. Privilege must deprive the underprivileged of what they would otherwise have. Inheritance per se doesn't do that any more than being born with exceptional beauty, talent or intelligence does.
Some people also get more than others (rich children versus children born in homelessness).

Merely getting more than others is just an advantage, not a privilege. Benefiting from deprivation of others is privilege.
That's because you're not in a Nazi country.

Non sequitur.
It's social norms and you don't realize that because you're a Nazi.

Name calling is not an argument. The science is very clear: it's genetic, not social.
Socialism is the most advanced form of economics.

No, it is absurd garbage -- even more absurd than capitalism -- that ignores the facts of economics.
In socialism, no woman's life is dependent on a man's.

It isn't in capitalism or most other systems, either.
You believing that women prior to the 20th century being smarter than now is very alarming and reactionary.

I didn't say they were smarter. Wiser, perhaps, because men did not insulate them from the reality of their biological nature.
Non socialist politics is demanding because of its money oriented atmosphere and due to higher rates of testosterone.

Isn't testosterone just social manipulation...?

You're not engaging in a political discussion by calling someone "wrong."

Sure I am, especially when I explain how and why they are wrong.
Human trafficking is a type of slavery you Nazi.

Only if it involves labor compelled by force. Some human traffickers are paid by those they traffic to traffic them.
How do you feel about Nazism?

I find it incomprehensible that an educated and supposedly civilized people could have been seduced by such obvious absurdities. But then, a lot of educated and supposedly civilized people have been seduced by socialist absurdities, while others have actually sunk so low as to vote for Trump, or even to watch, "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."

@Truth To Power,

Equality of opportunity is less important than extent of opportunity. Socialism achieves equality of opportunity by depriving everyone of opportunity equally.

There is no "achieving" because that is a capitalist notion. Depriving doesn't exist in socialist economics because everyone has access to natural resources and labour, since there is no currency nor debt to limit them.
No, I am identifying the logical consequences of socialism for an economy, consequences that have been observed in practice every single time socialism has been tried on a societal scale.

Why do you think that lower crime, more stability, more education, and more opportunities for women are "bad?"
Benefiting from deprivation of others is privilege.

With socialist economics, nothing is deprived from currency, nor debt.
Name calling is not an argument. The science is very clear: it's genetic, not social.

Why do you find the term "Nazi" to be so offensive to you?
No, it is absurd garbage -- even more absurd than capitalism -- that ignores the facts of economics.

Socialism is a type of economy. How could a car ignore automotive characteristics if a car is an automobile?
It isn't in capitalism or most other systems, either.

In capitalism, married women have to listen to their families or they will get kicked out and be homeless. You don't recognize homelessness because you lack real consciousness.
Isn't testosterone just social manipulation...?

Some men having to act all tough and cool hides their realities. It oppresses them, and some men can't even say that because they will be mocked by those who should be questioned.
Sure I am, especially when I explain how and why they are wrong.

You have never explained why I am "wrong." All you have done so far is gave angry rants of the false characteristics of socialism, and they are not factual.
Some human traffickers are paid by those they traffic to traffic them.

In some cases, human trafficking is only a financial trap. Those they traffic are forced to pay them, or they'll be homeless or starve or be stalked dangerously.

Currency does not limit, it enables. And debt does not limit as long as it is not created by privilege.
Why do you think that lower crime, more stability, more education, and more opportunities for women are "bad?"

Because to the modest extent that socialism achieves lower crime, it does so by imprisoning and killing the innocent even more than the guilty; it achieves stability by stagnation rather than steady improvement; it achieves indoctrination more than education; and it removes opportunities for men rather than expanding opportunities for women.
With socialist economics, nothing is deprived from currency, nor debt.

Incoherent.

Because it is calculated dishonesty.

No; but under socialism, they have to obey those who claim to represent the workers or get kicked out and be homeless.
You don't recognize homelessness because you lack real consciousness.

Let me know if you ever have anything factual to contribute.
Some men having to act all tough and cool hides their realities. It oppresses them, and some men can't even say that because they will be mocked by those who should be questioned.

Their wounded feelings are their responsibility, not anyone else's.

@Truth To Power,

Wrong: they are deprived of the fruits of their labor upon those resources.

In socialism, those who make the wealth, get the wealth.
Currency does not limit, it enables. And debt does not limit as long as it is not created by privilege.

Currency does limit because if a nation wants to build a large city, and there's "not enough money." But there is enough labour and natural resources. And debt is even more dangerous. If a currency does exist, it is better if the currency was debtless because debt is the ultimate stopping power of labour.
Because to the modest extent that socialism achieves lower crime, it does so by imprisoning and killing the innocent even more than the guilty; it achieves stability by stagnation rather than steady improvement; it achieves indoctrination more than education; and it removes opportunities for men rather than expanding opportunities for women.

"Innocent people" are abusers, rapists, slackers, criminals, liars, and traitors. In socialism, there is nothing to indoctrinate. That is a very far right wing view point, and it is also not a political statement either. Men had more opportunities in socialism because they didn't have to worry about paying for school, paying for retirement, nor relying on their families economically, thus making them prone to arranged marriages. Women had more opportunities in socialism than they did in any other economy. I would be very concerned for any woman who would have to rely on men who pay their bills because the men control their lives and personal destinies.
No; but under socialism, they have to obey those who claim to represent the workers or get kicked out and be homeless.[/quote
In stronger cases of capitalism and pre capitalism/non socialism, there are Private Property Rights. Families do not have to provide because it's THEIR money. So if a woman refuses to listen to them, via arranged marriages, unreported domestic abuse, or being forced to go to weddings or funerals, their families can kick them out. They need the women to do those oppressive things to motivate them to pay her bills because they lack real consciousness, and they're teaching their children to be like that. Be like spoiled pigs.

So if they're upset, what should they do? Act tough? And abuse their wives? And abuse their workers or slaves if they owned companies?

They're angry rants of what they believe is "socialism." Your out of context terms are preventing you from gaining real consciousness.

Jews didn't create socialism. They stole some socialist movements, like the Russian Revolution, so they could have an excuse to exploit labour. Being free from slavery is not Jewish. The jews stealing anti slavery movements and people supporting those jewish movements IS jewish.

You didn't need to.

This is not a political statement.

You don't know what you wrote. Because if you did, you wouldn't be calling humans "rats."

I am not "evil." I am just going against your false conscious modes of productions, and that being in that position conditions me to be labeled "evil."

But on to the Big Lies by Atheists of their goodness and intellectualism...

The Ivy League Colleges of America all have Christian Charters. Is there a single Atheist college with such a charter in America, or even Europe for that matter? No.

I was born in a Catholic Hospital as were my wife and daughters, in a different state than me. There are Baptist hospitals, Lutheran hospitals, Methodist, Jewish, Presbyterian, you name it. One atheist hospital? Ha ha ha ha ha. No, not one. Wherefore their goodness and mercy and intellectualism, these atheists?

Any atheist soup kitchens, orphanages? Who Really Cares by a college statistics professor documents how greedy atheists really are. They can only answer these facts with verbal spin and lies. Don't bother to respond to them. It's futile.

My friends and I, none of whom are religious, recently built(and paid for) a house for an elderly lady in the area. She had fallen on hard times after her house had burned down. No, we didn't go to the media and get attention for it. We did it quietly, and anonymously.

Your arguments are very childish and ridiculous. Morality exists despite religion.

Who Really Cares:
America's Charity Divide,
Who Gives, Who Doesn't and Why It Matters
by Arthur C. Brooks
Basic Books
New York
2006


P 12 But I am talking here about averages, not special cases. It is simply undeniable that today, conservatives are most congenial to the four forces of charity.
(Ten years ago, in graduate school) I lived in a world largely characterized by the kind of impressionistic stereotyping offered by President Carter at the beginning of this chapter. Do rich people want tax cuts? I would have told you it's because they are uncharitable. Europeans care more than Americans about the world's poor. Socialism is more compassionate than capitalism. And so on. My personal views about "charity" amounted to little more than unquestioned liberal political beliefs.

When I started doing research on charity, I expected to find that political liberals - who I believed, genuinely cared more about others than conservatives did - would turn out to be the most privately charitable people. So when my early findings led to the opposite conclusion, I assumed I had made some sort of technical error. I re-ran the analyses. I got new data. Nothing worked. In the end, I had no option but to change my views.

P 13 Indeed, the irresistible pull of empirical evidence in this book is what changed the way I see the world.

P 34: but the evidence leaves no room for doubt: Religious people are far more charitable than nonreligious people. In years of research, I have never found a measurable way in which secularists are more charitable than religious people.

There is no "collective" on the manner that you are claiming to state. The term "collective" is used to make it easier for non socialists such as you, easier to understand, since in non socialist economies, enterprises are privately owned, ruling the people that are relying on them.
A "nation" "wanting to build" something is not enough to justify the cost.

There is no "cost" to justify because nothing in socialism is owned nor payed for.
I agree currency and money should be issued debt-free.

Debt is the ultimate tool that is used to control the masses, and even some of the elitists.
Or as the Soviets called them, "wreckers"...? See The Gulag Archipelago.

Many of the people in the Soviet Union were not socialists. They were either capitalists, feudalists, monarchists, conservatives, or radical liberals who abused the socialist system. That caused corruption, leading to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Your extreme bias is quite evident. Bias does not make one wrong. You are obviously confused and have taken the silly words of other atheists to heart without thinking them through. This is a common practice of the Godless Left.

Every single citation I attributed to your dear friend, Hitler, is correct. I looked them up.

“The dogma of Christianity gets worn away before the advance of science. Religion will have to make more and more concessions. Gradually the myths crumble.” – Adolf Hitler

"Nothing will prevent me from eradicating totally, root and branch, all Christianity in Germany." - Adolf Hitler, April 7, 1933

"Christianity is an invention of sick brains. The best thing is to let Christianity die a natural death. We commence hostilities against the so-called Ten Commandments: the tablets from Sinai are no longer in force." - Adolf Hitler



“When I began my career as a cosmologist… I was a convinced atheist. I never imagined that I would be writing a book purporting to show that the central claims of Judeo-Christian theology are in fact true …. straightforward deductions of the laws of physics… I have been forced into these conclusions by the inexorable logic of my own special branch of physics.” – Frank Tipler, professor of mathematical physics

My source is my own creation, assembled over about ten years. That someone as hateful and angry as you would condemn it is indicative that it is a thorn in your bitter, atheist side.
You can't even SPELL atheist, much less 'thereof."

Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins became atheists after long and exhaustive rational inquiries into the existence of God, both at the age of nine. - The Irrational Atheist, by Vox Day, page 243

The total body count for the ninety years between 1917 and 2007 is approximately 148 million dead at the hands of fifty-two atheists, three times more than all the human beings killed by war, civil war, and individual crime in the entire twentieth century combined. – The Irrational Atheist, by Vox Day, page 240



“It seems to me that when confronted with the marvels of life and the universe, one must ask why and not just how. The only possible answers are religious. I find a need for God in the universe and in my own life.” – Arthur L. Schawlow, Professor of Physics, Stanford University, Nobel Laureate

Buddha isn't a God. And I'm not saying all religions are equally violent, or that all religions or observers are violent. I'm saying people are people, and people are sometimes violent. I don't think anyone can make an argument that theists are more or less violent than atheists. It's just a really terrible argument. You're being hypocrite because you're lumping all atheists together. There's countless non-violent atheists, just as there's countless non-violent theists. The correlation between atheism or theism in general to violence is weak to non-existent.

If you want to go after someone for bad ideas, go after extremists. Atheist and religious extremists are responsible for a lot of the world's violence including all of the violence you're talking about. Blaming the Nazi's or Stalin/Mao on atheism is a bad argument, the blame is on their stupid extremist ideologies just like Bin Laden.

Atheism is not a religion regardless of what any court says. Atheism is the absence of belief in a deity, because of lack of scientific and observable evidence. Lack of belief in the flying spaghetti monster is not a religion.

Mr Wonderful wrote:killed in the name of Buddah [sic]?

Buddhists have killed, will kill, and do kill, in the name of Buddha. Being human, they have the same penchant for violence as other folks. And they justify their killing much like other religions - it is not the act of killing that is wrong, but the 'intention' behind the killing, who you kill.

Example:

The Maha-parinirvana Sutra tells us that there are beings that are incapable of salvation called icchantika.

Sentient beings possess the five good roots such as faith, but the icchantika has eternally severed those roots [via a gross moral transgression]. Thus, while it is a fault to kill an ant, it is not a fault to kill an icchantika.

It is yours, this obsession with starting with God and then denying Him, religiously.

http://AreAtheistsRight.blogspot.com

Because there are very few minds capable of grasping higher-level physics, for example, let alone understanding their implications, and because specialization means that it is nearly impossible to keep up with the latest developments in any of the more esoteric fields, the atheist stands with utter confidence on an intellectual foundation comprised of things he himself neither knows nor understands. – The Irrational Atheist by Vox Day, page 262

Even the most admirable of atheists is nothing more than a moral parasite, living his life based on borrowed ethics.
Hitchens and Dawkins became atheists after long and exhaustive rational inquiries into the existence of God, both at the age of nine. – Ibid, page 263

The program of the Communist International also clearly states that Communists fight against religion…
Remember that the struggle against religion is a struggle for socialism. – Emilian Yaroslavsky, Pravda Editor and Chief of the Union of the Militant Godless
