Nazi Germany was a capitalistic country... it participated in genocide.... the theory behind capitalism doesn't imply genocide.
A theory about how to commit genocide? That’s a great theory to study for you.

Again.. you don't quite understand what I'm posting.

There is no theory of committing genocide in either the theory behind capitalism, socialism nor communism. There are examples of all types that committed genocide... one could argue we did the same to Native Americans in the name of capitalism. Nazi Germany is another example. It doesn't imply that Capitalism advocates genocide no more than communism.

I am still waiting.
lol quit waiting, the fact that the Nazi party uses 'socialist' in their name does not mean that they were a socialist country anymore than the Democratic People's Republic of Korea means that North Korea is a democracy SMH

If you ban books like these in school you are no better than the propagandist government systems that you all decry.... in order to not repeat history, you have to study it.. All of IT.


The fact that people want to ban studying texst such as these in school is in of itself a page from the communists they so hate... it is an uneducated stance... to develop an uneducated population that is easily suppressible. A free society should allow people (and young adults) study any text of their choice... free thinking is the premise of free speech.
Same here and I went to school a very long time ago. In two years of Honors English I recall reading both of those and "A Tale of Two Cities", "1984", "Siddhartha" and Dostoyevsky's "The Idiot". I whined at the time about "all that reading" but I graduated with a lifelong love of reading and an insatiable curiosity.

Let me ask for the fourth time: Can you think a way to achieve what the quote says without genocide?

Fourth time. You don't quite grasp enough to understand the quote.

They also have the "Big Red Dog" in the cirriculum. Perhaps the red dog was really symbolism for COMMUNISM and they brainwashed our kids. Thankfully Trump will immediately reveal that conspiracy of this supposed "big red dog" after blowing the lid on Joe Scarboroughs intern murder leads that implicate Hillary and Vince Foster and none other than.....George Soros

Again, you have no answer. You know it would require genocide or at least the threat of genocide to implement either socialism or communism.

It's good we are on the same page.

The issue here is the question you are asking... it implies you don't quite grasp the quote. And no... socialism (and communism) don't imply the threat or execution of genocide.

Again.. several capitalistic countries (including ours) have committed atrocities against peoples. It doesn't mean to establish capitalism implies atrocities were required.

The quote you don't quite understand which is in line with much of your posts here... single line of thought.. ignore others that don't quite play well with your line of thought.
