Hitler,Stalin And Mao.

[ynnafymmi]

Not really a question,just an observation.Tomorrow would be old Schicklegrubers birthday.Along with Uncle Joe and "great leap forward"Mao all were nationalists and socialists.Perhaps there is a case for capitalism after all.

"Socialists are supposed to be on the workers side,not murder them in their millions.Jesus wept."

errrr, maybe they are not 'socialists' then ????????

[jno]

You make Stalins purges and Maos engineered mass famine sound like a nice day out,jno

really? I wonder how I did that. But as you say, socialists are supposed to care for their people. Therefore, they weren't socialists. QNED.

20th

Hitler's birthday.

[DTCwordfan]

44 years since the last of the triumverate died and you've only just realised this, ynna. Better late than never, I suppose.

[royfromaus]

No celebration?

[ynnafymmi]

Celebrating what,Roy?I might celebrate in ten days time,and 18 days time also.

//No celebration?//

You could organise a birthday party of you want, but I doubt if he'll show up.

[ynnafymmi]

I think his remains were dumped into a sewage drain in East Germany,so if he does show up for Roys celebration there will be a bit of a whiff about him.Hitler that is,not Roy!

jimF //All dogs have four legs.
My cat has four legs.
My cat is a dog.//

This is not a logical statement, because for one thing, not all dogs have 4 legs ( I know of a dog with 3)

A logical statement might be;

All dogs are canines
Some cats are canines
therefore some cats are dogs
