Mar 22	comment	Why are many African nations poor? @Anixx: Maybe you should read both by argument, and my reply above? I never said "Socialism made Africa poor".
Mar 21	comment	Why are many African nations poor? If somebody is confused on these issues, I'm willing to spend some time in chat to clarify it for you.
Mar 21	comment	Why are many African nations poor? @Anixx: There has been plenty of examples of socialism in China leading to disastrous results. But wars are the big killer there. And how socialist USSR being richer than the insane socialist regime under Mao in China is relevant is beyond me. :-)
Mar 21	awarded	Nice Answer
Feb 22	comment	Why are many African nations poor? @OwenBlacker: You can disagree with reality of you want to. This is not ideology, it is objective, verifiable fact. As I said above, correcting communist propaganda myths about Soviet economy isn't exactly on-topic in a discussion about the history of African economics, and the same goes for correcting socialist propaganda myths about Swedish economy. I can do it in chat if you want, or email or other reasonable mediums, if you promise to listen with an open mind.
Feb 21	comment	Why are many African nations poor? @OwenBlacker: Scandinavia is not and has never been socialist. There has been some efforts of socialist policies, and these have been failures. Since the 80's all Scandinavian countries have been deregulating and privatizing, exactly because it is recognized, even by the socialdemocrats, that socialism prevents prosperity. Finland is the 11th most liberal economy in the world, Denmark the 15th. freetheworld.com/release.html In other words: Don't believe the socialist hype. Socialism doesn't work, and never has. Scandinavia is not an exception. This is not ideology, it's fact.
Jan 16	comment	Is the claim that Hitler came to power democratically justified? @James: Then we agree. And when other methods fail, then democracy has failed, and violence is an automatic response. But violence is still an non-democratic tool, so I think I'm justified in the clai that this is one of the non-democratic measures used by the Nazis on their climb to power, and hence you can't say they were elected democratically.
Jan 16	comment	Is the claim that Hitler came to power democratically justified? @DavidThornley: As I understand it, the only thing you got directly elected to in that system was president, so no, but that wouldn't be expected in that system either. I guess you can say he got elected to parliament.
Jan 16	comment	Is the claim that Hitler came to power democratically justified? @James: I agree that violence is one political tool. You claim it is the only political tool. That you can't come with arguments, only threaten to hurt, you can't make advertising campaigns, only beat people up, you can make political compromises, only put people in jail. That is utter and complete nonsense. I think you may confuse it with the idea that ultimately state can use violence if you don't agree with it. Completely different things.

Jan 15	comment	Is the claim that Hitler came to power democratically justified? @James: That's complete nonsense. In democracies the parties do not use violence or threat of violence against each other.

Jan 15	comment	Is there evidence of extensive Viking presence in North America? They probably had no concept of continent in the first place, and no concept of exploration. It was just another place to put a farm.
Dec 29	comment	Did Reagan really conspire to drop oil prices? You may wish to, in the future, to avoid being rude against people because they don't provide the information you should have provided.
Dec 29	comment	Did Reagan really conspire to drop oil prices? That's a nonsense excuse as the calculations are only about export. Why did you not just include them? And more to the point, why were you rude when you realized you hadn't included them? Is that my fault that you did not include these calculations?
Dec 29	comment	Did Reagan really conspire to drop oil prices? You are the one writing an answer. It should be in your interest to make it good, complete and convincing.
Dec 29	comment	Did Reagan really conspire to drop oil prices? No need to be rude.
Dec 29	comment	What form of home address did Romans use? @Anixx: Street addresses arrived with modern postal systems, basically 19th century.
Dec 29	comment	Did Reagan really conspire to drop oil prices? Although exports to non-socialist countries dropped with 6 million rubies in 1986, so did imports. I'm not convinced this is depending on oil price, although it certainly is possible.
Dec 25	comment	Why is national identity important? When the concept arose, when it got popular, etc are on-topic questions here. Why it is important is not. But the answer in any case: It isn't important.
