Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

...that difference is entirely which side of the battle line you're on...
yeah, that's why I sidestepped that one. It's an easy pathway into "no, you!"
Who was the aggressor: Germany or Poland? Israel or Iran? Iraq or the US?
Are you saying that there is no such thing as a right or wrong, good or bad side to a violent conflict?
If so, prove it.
No, are you just scrapping for a fight?
No, I'm saying that it's only "no you!" for bad faith actors. I'd like to think that isnt who we're dealing with in this site.
ah. In that case, we can all acknowledge that communism and capitalism have both lead to significant wars and violent non-war actions on the populace.
The Korean war, The invasion of Hungary, the invasion of Czechoslovakia, sino/soviet border conflict, Chinese invasion of Vietnam..
..but let's not pretend that war is the end-all be-all of government criminality. We can look at democide, or just atrocious neglect that had occurred quite a few times in communism, add well as abuse of the populace.
..now, I'm not claiming capitalism is good. But Communism isn't some panacea that prevents tensions and violence.
