Were you born that stupid or did it take you years of Russian Communist "education" to becomethat stupid? How much revisionist history have you been taught? Perhaps you will next tell us the first interchangable parts in firearms came from Russia next. Or that the telephone was not invented by Bell or Come on, give us another LIE!!!

Your Stalin's own words & it shows the backwardness of Russia & how they failed: (yes, you were crushed - history - over) In 1931, Stalin justified these sacrifices by saying, "We are fifty or a hundred years behind the advanced countries. We must make good this distance in ten years. Either we do it, or they crush us." (Lih) usaor.net

<The main factor of human technological progress is war> Open markets and Free trade are indeed essential for Capitalism to Grow. Otherwise it stagnates. <The second is laziness.> The Capitalist owns the means of production. He puts his capital at risk for the sake of profit. The Worker can always get another job if the business he is employed at fails. The Capitalist, on the other hand, can lose all his money if his business fails. The Capitalist is not lazy. The Capitalist is the Idea behind the whole operation of the business. I wouldn't call thinking a lazy activity. Sure, the worker is somewhat dehumanized in the sense that he is treated as a tool by the capitalist for the sake of profit. But the worker doesn't assume the risk that the capitalist does. So, the worker can't (and shouldn't) be compensated in the way the capitalist does. Marx is heavily biased on behalf of the worker and was naive enough to think that the State can be impartial and play God. <Greed is caused by Fear> It's the business cycle. One needs to accumulate as much Capital as possible to survive the inevitable "hard landing" or Recession. Communism was a genuine threat to the survival of the Capitalistic system and vice versa. They could never coexist peacefully with each other. PS I studied some of the Young Hegelians in Grad School: Bauer, Feuerbach and the early Marx. I know where your coming from. PSS Marx underestimated the vitality and power of the "petite bourgeoisie" or what we call today, the Entrepreneur.
