I did not write post 6335, you did. Sorry, my typo. Post 8335. But then, you knew that. To: Lane3 who wrote (8332) 8/17/2009 5:44:47 PM From: Hugh D. Phillips 1 Recommendation 8335 of 8397 Now you're changing the subject. The subject was their honest belief that their cause is in the best interests of the people. People who think that we have to be lied to, that we would not buy into their belief, so they must lie and cheat. Then they know that their system is not good for us, but that they only want socialism so that they can capture power, and become rich. They do not care about the people they lie to! Remember that the communist revolutionaries were thugs big time but they were thuggish in their pursuit of what they sincerely believed to be in the best interests of the people, a proletarian revolution They did believe that COMMUNISM was good for the people, Lenin called COMMUNISM and propaganda a tool. A tool to gain power, the only people who believed this were the poor working class who were doing the killing and being killed. ---------------- What you wrote was an out of text statement which I had a typo. Because you took it out of context it is not what I said. So apparently you see nothing wrong with the communist lies, because you are now employing the same tatics. I prefer to think you have simply made an error. Out of context? Lies? My goodness! The statement of yours in question did, indeed, have a typo as there are two complete sentences separated by a comma. Should have been a period. Or perhaps one clause was intended to be subordinate but you left out the connecting words. Either way, how in the world does your "error" escalate to "lies" on my part? So hostile. I always assume error until and unless evildoing is the only possible explanation. Errors happen. No cause for such hostility. So apparently you see nothing wrong with the communist lies There is absolutely nothing in what I wrote to support such a conclusion. It's your figment. I have made no value judgment whatsoever about either lies or thuggery. I have only differentiated between two concepts: 1) an objective perceived by the owner to be in the best interests of the people and 2) tactics used to implement the objective and asserted that they may coexist or not. The presence of one does not substantiate the presence or absence of the other. I always admit my errors. How about you?
