I thank you for getting that far.  I understand loosing interest in 'self-help'.

I didn't lose interest in self help. I wouldn't be the man with the family and career I have today if I hadn't learned "self help" by the time I was 10 years old. Self help was needed to not be hungry. To learn how to build a log cabin alone. To learn enough to be right when others were wrong, and to then lead when the chance was offered that others might benefit from better ideas and systems and the application of science.

I do my self help on my own time.  My point is to show that not everything about communism is bullshit. 

You demonstrated with your example that a solid self help outline doesn't necessarily have any more to do with Communism than it does with any of the belief systems, religions, cults, or recovering drug programs that use it. It is just a solid how to guide from those who weren't taught it by purpose or circumstance while growing up.

My opinion is there is very little bullshit.  But I read more than most people, and I have know our cultural hegemony is bullshit since September 11, 1973.  When the first terrorist attack happened.  The terrorist attack that helped to cultivated the circumstances for the second 28 years later.

Now I am lost in the maelstorm of history and its interpretation. So apparently the US wanted a Marxist out of power, was thrilled with Pinochet after he overthrew them....and that made Muslim extremists who didn't like the US (infidels) hanging out around the holy lands decide to knock down the towers 28 years later?

Religion, politics, American hegemony, and global. US peak oil in 1970 as well maybe, just for fun? Well, the butterfly effect and all that but I'll bet...real money....that you have a more solid explanation of how those 1973 butterfly wings made it all the way to Osama Bin Laden and 9/11.

Would I be right?

More than you are willing to admit.

Being as you are not even willing to admit that the US overthrew Allende.

The CIA-in-Chile Scandal at 50.

A never ending shitshow of dirty tricks, and what goes around comes around.

More than you are willing to admit.

You appear to be ignoring the basics of what is required for the most basic scientific career, let alone a successful one, instead choosing to read into me a caricature of some sort.

Being as you are not even willing to admit that the US overthrew Allende.

You mean, I didn't instantly start jumping up and down salivating over a "bad USA, no cookie for you" idea coming from the distant past? I think it is fairly well established the kind of nonsense that the CIA/USA was involved in down in South America, or in many countries where the idea seemed to be to peel back the Communist scourge. The Cold War was a thing...we've all heard of it. Did you miss out on it as it happened? Is your point that Allende was trying to do it right, appeared to be doing okay, and it wasn't fair to have bumped him off or treat him like other far more famous and accomplished communists of the time, like Stalin, Mao, and Kim ll Sung?

A never ending shitshow of dirty tricks, and what goes around comes around.

So is your point you don't like that the US became the most powerful nation in the history of our species because it did what all the others did on its way to get there? Bump off lesser nations, create a hegemony, apply its political, economic and military power to its own advantage? In this case, so that normal working folks like you could own million dollar homes and luxury cars for all retired folk in the family? And then this behavior generates blow back such as 9/11? Seems more like a perfectly predictable event to me. And par for the course of what has happened across history to the nations capable of achieving the kind of power that the US now has. The Romans weren't too thrilled with Carthage, in case you somehow think this is about politics as opposed to just people being people.

You never answered me before, because while I am able to answer nearly any question asked of me, you can't even admit that your kitchen in your nice house doesn't look anything like the Communist kitchen picture I posted, and you sure as hell wouldn't trade yours for that one. Want to bet the owwer of the commie kitchen I posted didn't even have access to fine German luxury cars, let alone the ability to purchase one?
