Your generalization that "only war let Stalin consolidate power" is shallow, as history is filled with many wars, some of which have more positive outcomes than others.  A war of more freedom-loving individuals taking up defensive arms, first against the white czar (Russian monarchy) and then the red czar (communism) would have had a much better outcome, just like wars limited the power of the monarchy in Britain and defeated socialism in Germany, Japan, South Korea, Chile, and pretty much everywhere else there's relative freedom and security today.

You just listed places where socialism won, and is currently in power, as examples of how war stops socialism?

Thanks to Statists like you, there has never been less freedom on this planet, and socialism has never had as much power as it does now.  I can't think of a single non-socialist government, anywhere on this rock.  Go you!

Now you're just throwing out insults and not even reading what I've said.

I've made my point.  I don't expect to change anyone's mind, on this or any other forum, only to express and document my position.  I don't need your help nor your approval.  Go and enjoy your simplistic illusion of a clean conscience, but that is a luxury that I cannot afford for myself.

I've read everything you said.  You're just 100% wrong.

I don't even imagine that you can come up with a realistic situation where there isn't a NAP-consistent way to handle things.  As a Statist, you prefer war, so you wouldn't even try.

Have you personally done a lot of killing?

Yes, I've used my telekinetic powers to give Ted Kennedy a brain tumor. 

(Which was quite hard when you consider the size of the target I had to work with.) 

Now I'm focusing on Putin's prostate.  C'mon, matastesize!  Matastesize, damn it!  Roll Eyes 

Whoopsie, I missed!



My telekinetic tyrannicide death ray hit Hugo Chavez instead!   Evil
