[QUOTE=Gmans Granny;26226304]Because communism has never led to anything good except maybe USSR's technology. Looking at countries like Cuba, North Korea and most of eastern europe during the oppression of Soviet it didn't work out so good for them. Now the whole idea of Communism is great but the level we have put it in during the whole history of mankind since communism was invented, it never, ever worked that way. Also to the guy that told me that I look like a dumb american, I am actually polish and ignorance doesn't only come from americans. And Palmes' socialism wasn't no where near socialism as it is usually. He praised communism and didn't even give a fuck about soviet subs on swedish territory. I do know he was praised by so many, but i guess on Olof Palme i was more hung up on my opinion so I'm not gonna try to start a debate since we all know how facepunch responds to opinions.[/QUOTE] I just want to insert a little fact here: All and every communist state were (and some are) dictatorships. No communist state has ever evolved out of a democratic nation. Why this has happened is up to debate but please consider it just once. And no, I'm not a communist. I'm a socialist and I don't believe in communism. I just think it's a misunderstood ideology.
Here in Italy Benito Mussolini is the Hero.

[QUOTE=KlaseR;26226479]Here in Italy Benito Mussolini is the Hero.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I remember even when he died, his adoring fans tied him to a lamp post, so everybody could bask in his glory. Then, they transferred their saliva to his body in an ancient Italian ritual that I don't really know much about, but it looks quite similar to spitting.
[QUOTE=laval;26219613]They did one of these for Canada by popular vote.

[QUOTE=Dragon Master;26224036]Don't you get it? I couldn't care less about your opinion. This thread is about your hereos, I listed mine.

[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simo_H%C3%A4yh%C3%A4[/url] This man's got balls the size of coconuts. He was a Finnish sniper in the Winter War who sat in fucking snow, shooting ruskies, aiming through the iron sight instead of a proper scope, and he kept snow in his mouth so his breathing wouldn't give his location away. He's been rumoured to have shot about 550 ruskies, but 200 kills have been confirmed. His damn jaw is disfigured due to an enemy bullet. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5a/Simo_hayha_second_lieutenant_1940.png[/img] The bullet put him into a coma, and he woke up the day peace was declared.

Wait wait wait. I've not read the whole thread, but all this bravo sierra about Einstein not being a US hero is wrong. He's the one who warned FDR about the Nazi nuclear experiments and led our endeavor into nuclear weapons and ultimately defeated the Axis empire. I think he's an American hero.
