I don't believe it. Everything they did and achieved required a huge organization and a lot of influential sponsors. It should raise even more alarms how thus far every single critic of them even inside their own party was silenced or

Again this focus on the financials, exactly what is criticized. What do they matter when they have sooo much of the real economy , of the world's manufacturing? On the one hand you have a bunch of virtual numbers, on the other one you

You present a tiny fraction of the article and argue against it. Most comments arguing against omit major points, they make zero mention of it: For example, the author points to the abysmal skills in very basic reading and math of a large p

You grossly misrepresent the points of the article! I usually hate such one-liner responses, but in this case, really, it is the article that needs to be read, not my reply. I could not say nothing and let this stand though, the contrast

I remember reading about a German woman who after the end of WWII married one of the American soldiers and moved to the US with him. She then never needed to use German again until she was quite old. She barely spoke any German by that time

Did that ever work, except maybe in tribal societies? Anything I read about middle ages or later was even worse. At best, they put such people into poorhouses . A big family under one roof helped the best I guess? But in any less ideal sit
