War against the Bolsheviks, Mensheviks, Communists, and Socialists is always an abject moral good. The issue is whether the cost of that moral good outweighs the benefits to your own people to wage that war.

more or less my point. avoid war where it the cost is less than the harm to your own people the war would cost. in the case of the white army, fighting off the communists would have been far cheaper (had they won) than letting them suffer under the boot of the communists or be displaced from their homeland. I'm not saying the Czarist regime didn't have it's flaws. It absolutely did, but Lenin and his fellows were far worse, and even if they had broke even, the severe disruption to people's lives would have been devastating in and of itself.

Strangely enough, I think all of the anti-communist boomer jihadis (like Gen. Turgidson from Doctor Strangelove) were absolutely correct.

Looking at only the material wealth of our nations, you would think that we would be in a great position. However, the demographic ruination of all developed nations and the rampant suicides seem to suggest that the spiritual death of our society from being conquered by communists and socialists seems to suggest that we've never been worse. Never has a society demanded that it not bear children because the world is too evil. Not from the Mongols, not from the Plague, not from the Ottomans... only from Neo-Liberalism / Fabian Socialism.

Japan has a birthrate of barely 1.0 right now. In 1946, after two nuclear bombs, the firebombing of 45% of the Japanese home islands, the ruination of their empire, an unthinkable surrender, and a foreign occupation... it's birthrate was 4.6.

We are behaving as if we lost WW3, and we didn't even fight a war. I think if we had had a real one and defeat communism totally, we may have been better off.

Certainly 50 million chinese people would be alive today if we had killed 10 million in nukes.

there's also the victims of success problem to consider... I think we got too comfortable, too estranged from hardship,, and human beings weren't meant to be as comfortable as we've been for as long as we have been...Struggle is necessary to personal growth and development, or to tl;dr all that bullshit, "adversity is our srength."

I don't agree that we are estranged from hardship, certainly millennials were not. The issue is not that there is no challenge, the issue is that we have sacrificed risk-taking for dependency systems which promise no hardship, while providing almost all of it.

Welfare doesn't end hardship, it maximizes it and requires you to have the government save you from each minor issue. It also removes your agency by telling you that if the government could solve your hardship, then obviously you couldn't either.

Arguing that there's no hardship, inadvertently argues that the Leftist systems work. It's a rhetorical trap.
