"Therefore I am not in favour of raising any dogmatic banner. On the contrary, we must try to help the dogmatists to clarify their propositions for themselves. Thus, communism, in particular, is a dogmatic abstraction; in which connection, however, I am not thinking of some imaginary and possible communism, but actually existing communism as taught by Cabet, Dézamy, Weitling, etc. This communism is itself only a special expression of the humanistic principle, an expression which is still infected by its antithesis – the private system. Hence the abolition of private property and communism are by no means identical, and it is not accidental but inevitable that communism has seen other socialist doctrines – such as those of Fourier, Proudhon, etc. – arising to confront it because it is itself only a special, one-sided realisation of the socialist principle."

Brand new referred to their condition. You claimed these M113s were APCs given to FSA groups who later on in the war defected to the HTS. And yet from the picture, that APC doesn't look like its been through months or years of war. No scratches, dings, impacts from bullets, nothing. Countries with actual professional armies like Turkey do upkeep and maintain their armored vehicles and aircraft. They aren't going to look old. Turkey's own F-16s were acquired in the 1980s. And yet i bet if you look at a Turkish F-16, your not going to be able to tell its almost 40 years old.
