Joined the other day and have been ordered to post here, so I'm a Communist from jolly old England, and my heroes are Ernesto Guevara and Sylvia Pankhurst. I hope to learn about conservative mindsets, and engage in interesting discussion and debate.
Wow, this critter's a Brit and s/he still doesn't get it.
The mods don't
order anybody around. There might be some very poignant recommendations, but there just isn't that kind of atmosphere here that even hints at what the critter says.
I note with interest that Karl Marx died in London. You guys kill him with kindness?
Personally, I think the critter is a joke and a troll. S/he wades in, spreads goober dust all around, then disappears again. S/he probably goes home to Mommy's basement and watches Ab Fab re-runs, or David Walliams as he portrays Linda in Little Britain.
Karl Marx was right about one thing. Feudalism was replaced by capitalism, but once the proletariat got a taste of Freedom and the personal satisfaction of doing for oneself as opposed to depending on the Gubmint, communism never stood a chance.
The Cubans, the Norks, and the Chinese haven't gotten the gist of that yet, but it's telling that the Chinese are using capitalism to strengthen their stance in the world.
Communism surely didn't do it, did it?
And where do you think the Norks and the Cubans are in the grand scheme of things?
The only kind of folks who embrace communism are the bourgeoisie who seek to rule not just themselves, but the proletariat as well.
It's going to be hard to rule an entire class of people when you're scheming in Mommy's basement, WC.
