Oh yes the lost workersparadise, good find Slaak. Recommended to see, pretty sobering though.

Had to see this one aftwards, Monty Python classic as ever

Ahh, memories. I remember my 70 year old grandma waiting in line for ten hours hoping the delivery truck would have some bread on it.

When I meet someone who extols the virtues of socialism I often wonder if they know just how close they are to having every one of their teeth scattered on the sidewalk.

Are there seriously people who think that socialist states were some kind of a paradise?

Some people here in NYC firmly believe that. With such low participation in primaries they are able to overwhelm more mainstream candidates thus they are well represented on the city council and in the state legislature.[:(]

And it seriously depresses me that these people are so clueless. When talking with these American nuts I quote "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money [to spend]." And I get one of several answers with the most common being "who the hell is Margaret Thatcher". If I try to explain how the take, take, take philosophy always fails, they get angry and insult me. These exchanges don't happen very much now that I live in Wyoming, but it still occurs.[:(][:(][:(][:(]

I propose that all Socialists go for a six months tour to North Korea.

The most interesting aberration is the socialist, communist, Marxist, calling themselves Christians.(like the current President). No way you can be one of the above and claim to be Christian. Their attempt to alter the commandments to fit their ideology is nothing more than Diabolic.


Wyoming, I'll be delivering a load of liquid to Cody, Wy. Saturday. I deliver to The Gypsum plant there occasionally. Are you anywhere near there? Abundant wildlife, Nice open country. Cody has the nice Buffalo Bill Cody Museum. Great collection of Civil War, WWI, WWII, rifle, machine guns, handguns.

Do you live in some alternate reality where they haven't voted for the neocon fascist Barrack Hussein Obama?

We are trying to reach it but the Reds rejected our petition for secession. Of course we are not giving up yet.

It's certainly a more lucid opinion than claiming that Barrack "Corporate Healthcare" Obama is a leftist. The socialist candidate in USA presidential elections was some dude called Stewart Alexander - which got 4,430 votes, not Barrack "Assassin" Obama.

World is a courios place: you call 'socialist' a party that we (in Italy,
but I think also around Europe) consider moderate right...

[:D]

Now I back in the shadow. I don't want to get mixed up in quarrels
who don't concern me, we already have a lot of problems on our own...

I’m sure , but now I’m really wondering where the hell does Perturabo live if Obama looks like a neocon ?
