Just like someone with low IQ and GPA and born in the US is in, but someone with high IQ but not lucky enough to come out of a vagina in the US is out.

In Santa Monica, does that translate to "don't be poor"?

> Can't see the last few lasting much longer.

I believe the remaining ones are effectively TV studios for business channels, so they have a completely different purpose now.

Yes. My point was that if atrocities against civilians in Hiroshima or Dresden were not crimes by gizmo686's logic above, then neither were Nazi atrocities, and Nuremberg and Tokyo trials were nothing but a fancy lynching.

> Keep in mind, that it has to be a standard that was at force at the time of the attack

Does that mean that Nuremberg and Tokyo trials were just a farce?

If you actually read both links I provided, you might find them interesting. Also, why shouldn't I quote r/AskHistorians when discussing historical events?

What was the point of demanding unconditional surrender when Japan was ready to surrender before being nuked, if it kept the Emperor system?
Comment · 9 years ago
Well at least one US president actually did nuke civilians, on purpose, twice, instead of merely talking about it. Another fire bombed them. And that's even before Vietnam, Laos, Iraq, or drone assassinations where any civilian can just be labeled as non-civilian by the government without much proof or oversight.

> French Wikipedia has a better definition: the elimination of inequality and social classes.

So "ownership of means of production" is simply the next step, an answer to an inevitable question that would arise from French Wikipedia's definition.

Socialism is when workers own their means of production. What you described isn't socialism nor communism.
