The English actually USED the conquered areas for trading, shipping, factories, etc. Thats why they were able to keep such favor among the conquered for so long.

I very much doubt the British built up a industrialized economy in their conquered lands. In the American colonies as in the Indian sub-continent the British practiced Mercantilism, this means that the British built up their industry at home, protected it with tariffs, then sold the goods to the colonists who in return provided Britain with agricultural goods and raw materials. This economic policy is one of the reasons (and taxes) we rebelled against mother england.

I don't know my history very well, but didn't almost every country used their conquered land for trading and stuff? I mean... what else to use the land for? Porn storage?

Most empires did...I like to think the Mongols didn't do that...they just pillaged and raped but thats probably not true.
Reconcilia Rem Publicam!

Under that assumption Social Security that goes into the pocket of old, rich, greedy hacks can be also called communism.

Well considering that communist regimes have historically been the most brutal in regards to human rights violations...I find that assumption not too far off the mark.

Only second to the US, it has an established record of overthrowing electing military governments and creating dictatorships in the name of "democracy".

Marxism doesn't work in large populations. You know, such as America that has 300 million people.

Funny, I assumed that it didn't work because the West was trying to overthrow Communist governments every other Thrusday.

You don't understand what I mean.
See, what Hitler did, was that once he conquered an area, he would set up factories and such. HOWEVER! The english were different. The English didn't crete mandatory factories or anything like that. They just used the places that were already there, but got greatly reduced prices, and bonuses. The reason they did this? Quite simple. People who are essentially, slaves, are going to want to revolt at some point. This way, the people remain at least somewhat happy, and get PAYED for the job. The English Empire, until sometime in the 1800's, was the most powerful country on earth because of this tactic.
Basically, the differince is, one of them forced people to work, the others just ''bargained''. But of course, if they didn't do as expected, punishmental action would mostly be taken. Its sort of, don't ask don't tell.
I actually studied English History for 2 years in college. Pretty amazing stuff, actually.

Well if you stopped focusing on the color of people's skins and focused only on their words and personality, then you might not be such a huge racist faggot.

Hypocrite.

k most everything i say involving race such as my first post have just been a joke in a satirical fashion. Mwright's posts are outright racist. Too bad you're too much of an elitist piece of shit trying to be smart to notice this.
and to Mwright himself, you faggot. You are incredibly, and regardless of if i'm a hypocrite (which i'm not), racist and trying to attack only me instead of the argument proves how big of a retard you are.

People need to learn that Ron Paul is NOT an Isolationist and DOES NOT promote Isolationism. Ron Paul is a non-Interventionist. He still wants America to be a part of the world economy and be friendly to all nations. He just doesn't want to intervene like we have in the Middle East over the past 30 years and longer.
|
Good luck with that. That's me telling people that Hillary isn't a Communist and doesn't have sand in her vagina. Even though it's true, Americans believe what the TV tells them.
|
AHAHAHA. Quote of the year! 
|
I'm not sure if you understood me. I actually support Clinton.
Speaking of whom, she won the Primarys, along with McCain. Things are going my way it seems. 
|
O.
Even so it made me laugh.
PS: Hillary is loco. Nation wide health care is what communism does.

We used to have a elected Communist in Canada, which is why we don't have to pay money to go to the emergency room, like you people.

I wouldn't use those examples as laissez-faire economies. The French Monarchy and the British Empire were more like mercantile economies where strong government regulation at the federal level was used to protect the industries of those countries.
|
The English empire has been the 2nd most successful empire ever created. For one simple reason.
Hitler had it all wrong. He tried to make enemies to conquer the land.
The English actually USED the conquered areas for trading, shipping, factories, etc. Thats why they were able to keep such favor among the conquered for so long.

I'd say Rome, except it wasn't technically a country. America has been the most successful for multiple reasons:
- Its democratic system is unmatched
- Its on good terms with most countries
- It has the least problems in terms of benefitting the poor
- Its the most technologically advanced country on earth (NO. It is not Japan. This is a retarded misconception. Japan has the best technology in things like, cameras, computers, etc. However, for weaponry, it comes no where close to America).
- Has lasted over 230 years, which is more than I can say for many countries.
- Has an unsurpassed army training programm, and the most well equipped troops on earth.
- Trades with nearly every country in some form or another
- Has one of the highest money values of any country
- Has one of the best immigration policies in the Americas
I can keep going on and on. Point being, America, in my view, is the most successful country.
