OK, I accept that you are far too busy to spell check or grammar check, even though both happen automatically on SI. But you really need to think-check!

In a post that starts with "USSR is not a good example as it was a dictatorship. We are a democracy. Everyone keeps forgetting,we are the government." you contradict your own thesis in every phrase:

"Ike built the interstate highway system." Ike didn't build shit. The people built it; because we are a democracy; see above.

"Government converted auto factories to tank and aircraft facories (sic)". Nope, the people built them (literally).

"Israel disassembled entire munition factories after WWII in the US, smuggled them out of the US and into Israel and reasssembled them...." Sure, that must have been allowed by the same US people who were disarming voluntarily because they live in an imaginary democracy.

I like to challenge my own beliefs before I challenge those of others. I like to re-examine history before I speak about its meaning. I recommend these practices to others!
