Since you're just cutting and pasting, here's the exchange (http://talk-politics.livejournal.com/1061509.html?thread=84774021#t84774021).
Now, the part that you say:
meaning the forcible collectivization of US farms, a massive military build-up and a system of centralized economic planning with mandated state quotas, and NKVD-led enforcement of said quotas.
Now, what I said was that they're "more similar than you're willing to admit." Where does this leave the rest?
Forced collectivization of US farms? The Agricultural Adjustment Acts fill that void fine for me.
Massive military build up? Quite obvious, we couldn't have fought WW2 without it.
Centralized economic planning with mandated state quotas, enforced by the government? That's the New Deal in a nutshell.
This is akin to your constant inability to see the Jim Crow era as one in place due to legislation - that somehow the state is incapable of action.
I applaud you for actually backing up your claims about me, but it's unfortunate that you cannot actually understand what you're reading.
