I don't feel very strongly about politics, but I guess I'll respond to every one of these with my opinion. 1. NOTHING can survive without capitalism. That being said, I think that securing capitalism is above democracy.
I THINK the reason Communism failed in Soviet Russia was because Capitalism was still out there. Communism works great on paper, and I think it has to be all or nothing to work irl.
2. Free Enterprise, Private Property, and the rights of corporations are the first steps to any free, democratic society. What is good for the corporations is good for ALL OF US.
What is good for corporations is making money. How is that good for all of us?
3. America is the closest thing to my heart. I am willing to sacrifice all rationality, all my possessions, and all of my memories for Mother America
disagree. America's nice, but I'm simply a citizen of it, I'm not obsessed with it.
4. ANY COUNTRY that tries to get nukes without our permission should be couped, overthrown, or somehow get to be in line with our economic interests
Canada can have nukes. . Any country that could be a threat to us and the rest of the world should be controlled and not allowed WMDs.
5. I don't think liberals, communists, socialists, etc. deserve free speech. Anyone who openly speaks out against capitalism, OR tries to challenge our privileged place in the world, should be immediately imprisoned and their children sent to re-education camps.
You HAVE heard of the bill of rights, correct?
6. I believe that Manifest Destiny is divine, that we have a GOD GIVEN RIGHT to CIVILIZE INFERIOR cultures.
At last check, Manifest Destiny = Early Americans wanting the US to streatch from coast to coast. Your statement is invalid.
7. We are the only ones that can civilize muslims, bring them capitalism and free trade, and convert them to Christianity.
We Can? Really?
8. I believe American, Christian people are a superior race/group of people.
superior? RACIST!!!!
9. Dissent against capitalism should not be tolerated, socialism is a failure. Capitalism and free trade work for solving problems rather than big govt. Why should I have to pay for everybody else?
Capitalism favors the rich. I'm happy with it because my family isn't poor.
10. We have the right, THE RESPONSIBILITY, to make the world safe for capitalism, even if that means overthrowing foreign states and putting in regimes friendly to corporate interests.
We have the right to worry about our own shit, and let the rest of the world be.
11. The USA govt. is the leading force of good. NO OTHER COUNTRY has done so much good in the world!
We civilized the red indian savages, defeated the japs in WWII, saved Europe from Communism, and gave Latin America corporations!
In order, savages? really?, good, meh, boo.
12. The communist manifesto is a lie.
The cake is a lie.
13. I believe Israel has the right to exist, and expand their territory. ANYONE who thinks otherwise should be exterminated like the anti semites they are!
People are free to express their opinion, but I agree with the first sentence.
14. Human nature is fixed. Might makes right. We have the most guns, we have a monopoly on what is moral and what isn't. No people have a right to disagree with us. Disagreeing with America's policy is irrational, and is a symptom of an uncivilized society.
What works in America doesn't always apply to the rest of the world.
These are just some opinions I have. My family is Republican. I haven't studied communism in too much depth, but I'd like to.
