Oh, I don't know, since both World War 1 and Word War II started in Europe I am thinking 50,000,000.
You would never get a Nazi Germany, Stalin, or ISIS in the US. Why? Because we have just about everyone armed. The founding fathers had it right, arm the citizens and you will not have a military state.
Precisely why also the US will never be invaded. In this country an armed militia exists for a reason.
The system is by design, and its checks and balances. You don't see any coups in the US that is for sure.
I like how people keep trying to pass off communism as something the people didn't want. Communism was something people wanted, it's what it turned into that people didn't want. Also in China the mass majority of people greatly enjoy communism it's the people who speak out against it (obviously) that don't enjoy it which is an extreme minority in the country but media tends to blow it up like communism is hated.
The people in China that love communism, 800M of them (the poor/half), do not have indoor plumbing or have to ration electricity. Anything is better than going backwards.
Most countries in Africa would love communism as well if it rid them of malaria and put something more than insect infected rice on their plate.
You are correct, most people in a hut living in fear of Ebola, arrest for no reason, or decapitation love communism. I would have loved the Pope 500 years ago too if facing the guillotine.
How the fuck do you people think that Mao and Stalin got in to position to get in to power in the first place? Since history is clearly a complete mystery to some of you i'll give you the answer. By overthrowing their respective legal governments with the help of an armed militia.
What kinda dipshit thinks that every uprising is for the good of the people. They very rarely are. That said there's been about 70+ years since US citizens have had access to any weaponry that could severely threaten their own government.
Yeah...except you're wrong and pretty much everyone over there enjoys communism. The exceptions are, liberal bloggers (a couple thousand people at most) and the lands that are claimed to the west that consist of misplaced populations such as Tibet and Urumqi. Those places are a majority of non-ethnic Chinese people that are stuck in China. A lot of people over there are willing to admit that China has faults of their owns, but then point out so does the United States and every other country. If you think Communism is speak out against your country and get shot you're wrong. Millions of people protest daily over there with much success on a lot of infrastructure type items but you never hear about those, you only hear about the ones where people that hate the government form a protest against the government and get shut down. The government doesn't care if it's people protest to get shit done over there, in fact they welcome it in most cases, and are more proactive about responding than in the United States. It's just when people are strictly like "NO MORE COMMUNISM OUR GOVERNMENT IS TERRIBLE" type protests that is when people start being detained.
From lower class in the boonies where people live on rice farms and rations, to the cities where homeless are paid to clean streets in efforts to help keep cities clean and homeless people fed, to middle class laborers and white collars all the way up to the wealthy elite. You'll be hard pressed to find little to anybody that says communism is terrible (even the people that survived the great famine).
You know probably the moment in China that made me realize shit wasn't exactly as what people over here think it is was when I was sitting my office and a guy comes in to ask a question and instead of a work related question he goes "Why don't more American's listen to Ron Paul?"
This was coming out the mouth of a local council member of the communist party. Sure they fuck shit up, but I mean it's not like people here aren't fucked up either. We have veterans living on the streets begging for scraps and hoping that when they play the piano on the side of the road that someone films it and puts on youtube. There's poor everywhere man there's no government that will ever truly handle it properly.
