After WWII, in Czechia, they deported Germans and voted Communists.

I have argued it from a view of country, whoes first thing it did after getting rid of the Germans to satisfy its spite , was only to vote for better future---

I would certainly wish a good definition of what is meant by people's will. My age is more then 50. I have seen for what my parents voted for, and were crushed by the same.

The problem is, anywhere a Jewish state would be constituted, a problem would become. Maybe a Latin America would be a better joice, then Palestine. Maybe the correct answer to Holocaust would be - no state. This would be the only logical answer.

USSR ....thay just renamed to former Russia and having losts of problems with those who do not agree with the empire. I hope nobody here believes that by change of political regime all people living in the region go somewhere, and the country starts to be inhabited by.....name it.

What do you mean by modern Jews? Do not mix nationality with believe. Jews were in diaspora even before time of Jesus.

Yes, its an ideal which is not surely new. And well in consonance with Marx, who was a good student of Hegel who really loved neoplatonism of which source was ...just name it.

There always will be assholes. Take it as granted.

I recommend for all posters on this thread to read Sermon on the Mount before they post. Please. I do not know why everyone is so preoccupied by his birth and death. It does not make him wrong or right.

Ehm. thats what Lenin preached, of course if you have a Dictature of proletariate as a step between. There was no democracy at Russia when he came to power. Of course at first Bolsheviks supported to be democrats - Like a noose supports a hanged man...

I know one case when a drug containing alcohol really hurt a patient. Famous Czech actor, Vladimir Menšík got in a real problem when after quite successful treatment of his alcoholism - he abstined for 4 years - he got prescribed a medicine which contained alcohol. The whole alcoholic cycle...

In Czechia I do not think the ideology of Nazis was the greatest issue..... They just invaded us. Lots of our best people died. Thats why they were the bad guys.

Yes, you are right. Communist got 40% in 1946. Not a majority but quite a lot in our voting system. And yes, I am talking about generation of my parents. They were young but very far from stupid at the time. Hard to understand for me sometimes, but I try. And I would also wish my grandchildren...

You sort of forgot the people. How do you think all became supporting communists? By power - no. Soviets freed them from Germans. The USA stopped at Plzen because they agreed with Russians. And let the Prague bleed. And all remembered Mnichov. And wanted better world. Communists were voted...
