Quote:
Eh? My logic is correct. Yours is backwards.
Socialistic systems historically are the ones that can lead to Fascism. This is my basic statement.
The Democratic party is closer to Socialism then the Republican party.
Therefore, the Democratic party is more likely to bring about a series of events leading to fascism then the Republican party.
That's perfectly sound logic Smash. You should try it someday.
Um, no. I'm not sure if there's a term for the bizarre castles in the air constructs you build for arguments, but logic isn't them.
There's a phrase in investing that applies here that might help you with your confusion over what logic is. "Past performance is no guarantee of future return." With me?
If a set of statements is logical, then regardless of the changes made to the subjects in the statements the construct remains logical. For example:
All men have eyes.
If you are a man, you have eyes.
I can replace "man" and "eyes" with anything and it will be true.
Let's try that with your construct, shall we?
I'm going to simplify it for demonstration purposes without changing the meaning at all. If you think I've cahnged the meaning, let me know.
There have been two Facist states.
Two Fascist states began as Socalist States.
Democrats are more likely to lead to a Socialist State.
Therefore Democrats are more likely to Facist states.
I think that captures the "logic" of your argument, yes?
Let's replace some words:
There have been two Rapes in a town.
Two Rapes in the town were commited by Fellons.
Black men are more likely to be Fellons.
Therefore Black men are more likely to rape you in the town.
Logical?
Let's try again:
There have been two Heart attacks in a town.
Two Two Heart Attacks Happened at a movie theatre.
Teenagers are more likely to go to a movie theatre.
Therefore teenagers are more likely to have heart attacks in the town.
Logical?

Really? National Socialist German Workers party ring any bells Smash? It should. That's what "****" means.
If had been named the National Democratic Capitalist Party and abreviated as NDCP would that have made it a Democratic party?
Is the Republic of China a Republic?
Same theory, whacko.
