Excuse me? Capitalist? What? Only in recent years has India adopted more capitalist market solutions.
Between 1947 and 1991, the Indian economy was modeled after the Soviet Union, including 5 year plans, government ownership of industries, and the sheer involvement with the government in the operations of businesses. Nobody can look at the "License Raj" system and say "Oh yeah, that's capitalism!"
Considering that people here aren't willing to oppose Trump over his policy of separating the children of an ethnic group from their parents, yes, you do endorse genocide.You intentionally, falsely equate my acknowledgement that crimes may occur as an inevitable consequence of necessities because those necessities break down the bonds of civilisation, with an endorsement of those crimes. You do it because you don't care for nuance, and you are focused on your ideological objective to the exclusion of everything else.
People here are not necessarily democrats, but we certainly do not endorse genocide. Your reduction of this matter to simple cases of democracy = good, and Stalin = funny, amply demonstrates how little you really care about the victims of the purges and the Terrors.
Even if you aren't aware that what you're advocating is genocide.Article II: In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
No, you're remembering incorrectly, the children aren't being sent home or being let go, they aren't old enough to make the decision to leave on their own which is the typical flawed defense of the Trump admin's actions and wouldn't be able to survive on their own regardless, and Trump's ICE has made sure to never document who the child's parents were to ensure that they can never be reunited with their families.@Name Corrupted by Chaos, please demonstrate one case of a child from the ICE detention centres being put up for adoption to a non-hispanic family, or indeed at all, without the permission of the parents.
I seem to recall the children are being sent back to their own homelands and ethnic groups. Also, this is a derail, so if you want to talk more, create a thread.
Illegla imigrants aren't an ethnic group, and almost a third of them don't arrive with their parents, but rather slaves that were bought/kidnapped for either sympathy or sexual usage.Considering that people here aren't willing to oppose Trump over his policy of separating the children of an ethnic group from their parents, yes, you do endorse genocide.

@Husky_Khan , I don't think anyone supports those cruelties; to be honest, for the most part, I doubt the people who committed them supported them except for a small fraction who were sociopaths. The human mind does strange things in groups and in situations in which the whole moral fabric of society has degenerated. Events are tolerated to occur which a person may sincerely find abhorrent; the ways, means, and rationale of protest seem to slip away in the exigency of circumstance. That is the true horror of war, the true logic which it has to its own. To embark on civil conflict is to ultimately leave sanity behind.

I think raping people with dogs is bad and do not support it.
Just as WWII, with all its awfulness, was more or less a necessary undertaking by Britain and France in order to stop Hitler by 1940.
Sometimes, Dictatorship is the right solution. There's a reason the Roman Republic, who so jealously guarded their Republican norms and institutions, had a "get rid of all that and put the Dictator in charge for a year" clause in that otherwise immensely Republican power balancing system. There's a reason the US system, designed by people with an immense amount of suspicion of central or unchecked authority, still created a position wielded by a single man (not even dividing it in two like the Romans did with their Consuls!) which, if the President wished to, could wield an awesome amount of power.
Britain and France were not dictatorships, that was Hitler. We fought two fucking world wars because of dicfuckingtatorship. In what universe is dictatorship "right"?
And BTW, not everyone who protests police brutality thinks every police officer is a KKK. That's just fucking stupid.
They think "Communism isn't the necessary evil, it's the necessary good, and everyone who opposes our ideology is EVIL!!1!"I get the impression that some people have a difficulty with the concept of a necessary evil.
