Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

        .....and since i just jumped to conclusions regarding your statements from above... How else would you explain the sentence 'the state interferes'. It seems to me the only way they do that is by putting rules and regulations. So that seems like quite the logical assumption for me, in all my pencil-neck glory, to have made. What else did you mean? how else does the state 'interfere'?

        also, i never suggested you always look for a way to achieve lawlessness, I was simply responding to the statement you made above....

          It means that you made assumptions such as "not everyone is educated etc " or "can't think for themselves". That has nothing to do with the economics of how the State interferes into the free market. It cripples competition in the free market by putting regulations, which itself is a monopoly of force. Thus it tries to redistribute, and tax, which is precisely what socialistic entities do, having a central bank ( one of the ten plancks of communism ) and "public" goods.

          Thus the State is responsible for creating huge monopolies and allying with big business, creating regulation and harming the little guy. Microsoft is an example of a government created ( Copyright ) monopoly.

          I refer you to my other thread.

            yes well, after all that, doesn't it suck that all we do is complain about the situation rather than trying to figure out a plausible way to change it? BTW, i mostly agree with you on whatever you said here AND in your last thread. I just felt like an argument, although I shouldn't have started that in here because what little I know about these topics wouldn't take me very far....

                How do u think Hitler was influenced by Marx's ideas? Don't u think his ideas were more Darwinistic?? (is that a word)

                  Yes you should, since your presence made me make this thread. I hope you won't shrug this off as you did in the other forum of "not believing" what I say because I am as you call me "a bourgeois from the United States", I wouldn't want my effort in typing this xxxx up to go in vain.

                  Do you seriously call yourself a critical thinker? Of course you believe everything you have read to be holy truth, yet you don't even know where that "Red Star" you have on your forehead comes from.

                  You see Marxism's origin is tied in to Mr. Weishupt ( whether you like it or not, or for that matter choose to accept this information ) who created the Bavarian Order of the Illuminati. You see the Communists when they established the Soviet Union, celebrated May 1st as the birth of their revolutionary movement because it was the birthday of the founder of the Bavarian Order, Adam Weishaupt. And, it is not by chance that all Communists use the "red pentagram" star as their insigia. And, it is not by chance that the Communists use "red" to describe their revolutionary movement. The Rothschild banking family, who for some 200 years had a great influence on the economic and the political history of Europe, was founded by Mayer Rothschild ( Rothschild translates to Red Sheild ). And ironically it was Mr. Weishupt and the House of Rothschild who started that little Bavarian movement, partly spiritual, partly political.

                  Of course, this doesn't even go into the economic factors of why Marxism is idiotic, but we can digress from this a bit and focus on that as well.

                    Hitler's ideas weren't "more of this" or "more of that" they simply were influenced by a variety of factors. Of course Hitler's notion of "survival" was based on Darwin's "survival of the fittest", but then again so was his idea of "race" and how all history is a racial struggle. "National Socialism" was basically the polar opposite of "International Socialism". Whereas the Soviet Union took on Marx' claim of "history is a class struggle", Hitler simply substituted "race" for class, of course in the most perverted sense.

                    I say "perverted sense", because German is a complete langauge you see. It has terms for everything. It has "Rasse" for Race and "Volk" for people. All throughout the NSDAP ( the National Socialist Party period in Germany ), they used the term Volk, for majority of the time, yet in all the allied propaganda, the term "Volk" was translated as "Race". Who is lying and why? In any event, there are pamphlets in National Socialist Germany, as well as in Mein Kampf where "Rasse" is used, but this idea of substituted "race" for "class" was an idea Hitler took from Marx. Remember, Nazis were Socialist, just in the Nationalist sense, as opposed to the International Socialism espoused by the Soviets.

                    Then the next broader question to ask, is where were all these ideas coming from, be it Darwin from the Scientific revolution, or Marx, or Rousseau, or any on else - and all arrows point to the Enlightenment, and that is essentially when 'history' was created.

                      Thank you for enlightening me..I don't think most of these theories were meant to be taken out of their meaning so much. For example, Marx was no Hitler, neither was Darwin. I don't think they understood what their ideas were going to do to people and how these people were going to use them in such ways. As my nephew Alex would say, "Aunty, that's messed up"
