Dear /lit/

I'm trying to find a story I read a 9 years ago in the 8th grade. I was a story where the government of an unnamed country forces everyone to be equal in every way, to the point were people are wearing contraptions that inhibit their ability to function (they are equal to retards that way).

I remember quite fondly, a particular scene, where the main character is with his wife, watching an orchestra attempt to play music on T.V. Then, the Main character's brother (A complete Alpha in every way, and broke out of the contraptions) Burst onto the stage, frees the musicians, and then tells the viewers to do the same and to live life as best as they can, not to the government's requirements. All of a sudden, the President walks in with a 12 Gauge and blasts the Alpha.

I wish I could remember the rest

In regards to your picture, its because the kikes invented communism and the kikes run our countries.

Also because leftists all want to be mass murdering tyrants and find it real easy to excuse that sort of shit.

But I do find the story of greater importance as of this moment

It bet them Viet Kongs call themselves Charlie too.

Those deaths occured because individuals were killed by human beings, NOT by ideologies.

The entire picture is flawed because its argument depends entirely on the fallacy of reification.

>> No.2482899

Idealogies don't kill people, people kill people. The shitload of famine and other deaths in Mao's China weren't very much related to either Marx or Lenin. Neither were the deaths by German hands necessarily related to nazism. Opposites clash, people fight and people die. You could just as easily throw around silly numbers about "deaths as a result of capitalism".

>> No.2482902

if we want to get cute with this propertarian ideology killed a lot of people in famines who otherwise could get food from the storehouses of landlords.

killed by human beings motivated by these ideologies.

Nazi's fought only in defense of their nation and land.

Commies were mass murdering butchers

>> No.2482913

It is not really fair to call, say, a brutally oppressive Bolshevik dictatorship established under the guise of communism simply "communism" and the same thing can be said about other alleged communist countries, and national socialism.

You are over simplifying the problem by targeting the initial ideology and not what it morphed into.

There has never been a truly communist country, people grab all the power they can and it falls to shit.

CARICATURE OF EVIL WORST PERSON EVER THE NAZIS ARE THE EPITOME OF EVIL WW2 WAS THE ONLY WAR THAT WAS ACTUALLY FOUGHT AGAINST THE CLASSICAL ELEMENT OF PURE UNFILTERED EVIL EVER SEE THAT EPISODE OF STAR TREK SKIN OF EVIL WITH THAT ARMUS THING THAT WAS WHAT THE NAZIS WERE THE COLLECTED EVIL OF THE HUMAN RACE FORMED LIKE THE URUK-HAI INTO AN ARMY OF EVIL LED BY THE SON OF SATAN THERE IS NO HISTORICAL CONTEXT FOR WW2 JUST EVIL

Just like the United States' wartime budget, their wartime propaganda never turned off either. The Soviets are incompetent boobs who got beaten in a far fight by American ingenuity; the Nazis are.. uh, evil. Blame Wilsonian idealism.

There is no need for a middle man here. It's people killing people.

While you have a point, this can be said of any ideology put into practice ever. We are all a bunch of cunts.

No its not, the theory of communism predated any attempts to establish a government, and they all fell demonstrably short of even the basic meaning of the name "communism", i.e. the establishment of a communal society.

>> No.2482936

I don't know your story, reminds me of V though.

>>2482846
Sure. I think it's easier to assume WW2 was a real war, one the allies won. Now when you have an enemy it's best to portray them as pure evil. Remember how nazis have no feelings and care only about killing as much people as possible and reducing freedom? When you win a war, you can show to everyone how right you were.
Americans write aluminum (just an example), that's not because the top scientists couldn't write aluminium anymore, it's probably more because the lower educated people weren't quite as good at it, and they were with a lot more. Especially back in the '40s/'50s there were more un- or lower educated people around, they care less about objective information somehow. Then in the Cold War true honesty wasn't top priority of education, nothing really bad with that, I think it only raised the American morale.

I watched something on National Geo once, filling the time with repeating vague reconstructions while telling some things. Like the NSDAP, the National Socialist Laborer Party. Oh please, you have all that time, translating the D wouldn't be that hard.
