Keeping it 100 Pinochet style ! LOL

Great guy! Here's just a partial list of his many victims:

Dictators are dictators, right or left.

This boat is usually hanging 5 feet above the water level. Almost screwed up by not getting the wake tower down. Once the water came up, it was too late to do anything.

Got a pic from my brother in Memorial area of Houston of my nephew playing in the river that was the street and yard, so far not into the house but crazy. No where for the water to go. (The tax-free "prepping" discount was a few weeks late for y'all down there. Be safe.)

Today in Houston

You hate communism, a system that, at least, theoretically attempts to be based on reason yet I've never heard you criticize the system of monarchy, a system that proposes that God just favors certain families. Fascist dictatorships are always supported by monarchies, funny enough. How about that for insanity?  :

The problem with communism is that reason escapes the vast majority of people. Humans are not robots. And that makes communism unreasonable. It is not a human system of government.

That part can be said for any system of government. I don't agree with the reason.

Maybe by pretenders and smaller Houses but I don't think, for the most part, the Big royal houses liked fascists, or communists, (or the bankers that funded them all.) Where are the royal houses now, with real power, even in places in which they still titularily exist, much less others? Italy? Greece? Russia? Germany? Austria? Hungary? South America countries? etc? And the conditions, aside from the UK and some Scandinavian countries and Iberian ones, very weak (though I agree not in certain aspects like freeholdings etc?)

[Ghost Nutter]

It's  slow on here tonight...good show though

Is purgatory still part of the Catholic doctrine?

Yes. Though it's sort of been watered down lol.

I spent 4 months in China. Those poor non-party people.  But in many respects it is just like any country run by a cadre of iron-handed suppressive elitist one- percenters under a dictatorship.

Better Dead than Red!
Long Live Scandinavian Socialiism!

I'm not defending any particular manifestation of communism or even communism in general. I agree there have been great atrocities committed in it's name but so have there been in the name of defending monarchies and the power elite too. Both extreme have been bad for the greater good. I'll only mention briefly that the whole fight against communism in Central and South America led to the US government essentially becoming the biggest drug dealer in the world and one that was willing to use it's own citizens as a market for that. However, I think we need to remember that the country was founded out of a hatred of the system of MONARCHY not communism. Of course, no manifestation of it existed at that point in history.

[Dr. MD MD]

You really believe there's rationality in the system of monarchy?!

You're right. Extreme ideologies always ends up with government in the hands of elitists.

Exactly Socialism is a good thing in a High Trust , Homogeneous , Society where misuse through peer pressure . Insures little abuse !

Never said Monarchy or the "Banks " . History Always repeats . Guess what it is happening again .  Like I said not taking the SJW Bait !

Depends on what you mean by rationality. It's perfectly rational to take over the world if your ideas are for the greater good of the human race. That's what drove Napoleon. The sad fact is that Emperors are effective. Effectiveness is rational.

[doctor weird]

Today in Houston

haha, my gf saw something very similar in my neighborhood

[Dr. MD MD]

Good, cuz I'm not an SJW. Just a man with a brain in his head that still works somewhat. I'm not falling for your Pinochet crap either. 

[TigerLily]

Thank you, Admiral. I always find your approval uplifting

[akwilly]

Just got back from watching The Jungle Book. Pretty good show.

Indeed, SP9. Good to see you as always

I should've used the word reason instead. The greatest good for the greatest number of people. Not just a rationalizing of elitism.

Good . I think You will like the movie ! Can't wait to have a real conversation on something we both have seen . LOL . I like your style !

Get the right king or emperor and they can be infinitely more effective at passing laws that work for the people than Congress.
