They will never admit it. Just now there was a guy saying the holomodor was capitalism's fault in some thread out there.
You have to understand that commies think they have a higher moral ground. Their entire personality is based on that. It's not easy to let this go.

With the image, he's probably not talking about the novel itself, but the reaction to it, which is history.

What would the world be like today if nukes were never invented. What would change in our history?

There would have been a third world war between the US and the USSR.
>>
>>584657
What makes you say that? I would think far more likely is you'd have a massive conventional buildup by the west in Germany; and then a rough balance being maintained. The Soviets can't compete with the manpower and industrial resources of the West, but the West won't want to go to the expense and the multiple millions of people that would die to take out the USSR. Stable.

Between NATO and the USSR, you mean. Even Operation Unthinkable was planned as a joint effort.
>>584644
The real shit, though, would've been Operation Downfall. A conventional invasion of the Japanese home islands would've been horrific for everyone involved. The sheer slaughter, on both sides, would've rivaled the Eastern Front, and would've scarred US/Japanese relations for decades and perhaps even centuries, assuming there was even a Japan to have relations with by the end of it.
There's a reason the US has never had to manufacture any new Purple Hearts since the 40s; we're still using up the stockpile made in preparation for Operation Downfall.

We do our best to define Fascism.
We all know about the Nazis being the most infamous example of Fascism, second comes the Italians. However there was also Spain, Portugal and Brazil being examples of other nations that experimented with Fascism, and came out much more successful than their communist brothers. Why is it that people are allowed to be Communists and not Fascists even though Fascism has a better track record and has killed less people?
I will try to lay out the "vanilla" criterias for fascism:
>Dictatorship
>Social Reactionary
>Can be economically left or right wing
>Focus on 'empowering the nation'
>Hate communists
I notice when Fascists are success, people refuse to acknowledge them as Fascists and instead as 'Conservative Dictatorships' in the case of Spain and Portugal. Are people that triggered to realize that Fascism can actually work unlike Communism?

His how do I research the problem of intentionality?
For example If there is a guy and a girl that like each other but dont know the other one likes them back.
If one tries to maka advances they are risking getting hurt by a rejection but If they both telegraphed it because they were forced to then the problem would be solved.
Lets say they both had a gun pointed to their heads to be triggered if they did not convey their feelings towards one another, i.e. they were forced and it was not a matter of their choice.
This creates a win win situation where both parties know the intentions of the other but none has a reason to be hurt.
This is obviously an extreme example but there are many other examples which are similair but realistic.
I dont fully understand the mechanics of why the first normal situation creates a problem with possibly negative consequences and i dont fully understand why the later solution actually solves the problem.

No, religion is an answer that philosophy can't give us. Religion is for people who are tired to endlessly play with concepts.
