Did anyone hear Georgie boy the other day?
Like usual he was on TV, looking like a chimp, yet at the same time oozing the intelligence of a donkey (a dead one. I really don't want to upset Shrek fans).
And what does this baffoon say? Let me semi-quote you (because I can't be arsed to look up the exact quote):
"Bin Laden and Al Qaeda are the same as Hitler...and Lenin..."
I added the dots, not Bush.
SAY WHAT? Hitler and Lenin? Uhhhh... you know... shove a cork up my butt, feed me peppers and Indian curry until it blows out my bum and drink me on New Years eve... but THERE IS NO COMPARISON BETWEEN HITLER AND BLOODY LENIN!!! NEVER MIND A RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALIST...
God damn... Do I have to spell everything in this god-forsaken and sex barren world?
And to make matters worse, I was talking to a collegue of mine and was rampaging on about this screw-up of history and he answered: "Yeah, what's Lennon got to do with Bin Laden?"
I swear to God that it degenerated into a scene from the Big Lebowski (which I can't quote here, because they'll ban my post).

Lenin was a communist. Communists oppose facism. In fact, communists together with trade unionists (which is a form of communism) were the only people to oppose Hitler when he came to power. They were, again in fact, the first people to be carted off to death camps.
Communism is the exact opposite of facism and comparing the two is like comparing bananas with beef.
Stalin was not a communist. He was a state capitalist. The State took over the role of the boss (nowadays the multi-national). That is the exact opposite of communism, where the producing classes have control over production.
See... that's why it's such an incompetant statement.

Well vegetarians eat one and not the other...
However, since banana trees do walk about (absolute truth), I maybe should have picked a more acidic fruit.

Originally posted by aging blitzerI think I see your point, but it is not a good analogy. Communism resulted in millions of deaths in the Gulags, political system, etc., while Capitalism, which is wonderful if greed is not involed, is turning the U.S., and the world for that matter, in haves and have-nots...slow death....good point, though...
Only in the same way that Capitalism is a form of terrorism that the US has perfected.
