I have decided, I am going to be one of those old Socialists...
   
You know the type - dying while reading and listening to Jazz.

Ideas out of step with "Modern America©"

Ideas out of step with one's kids.

Ideas out of step with everyone else.

And sitting alone, drinking dry vermouth, dying in a musty corner of some bookstore that I may or may not own.

Welcome to 21st Century America, my comrades.

I have a great idea, in another thread you said you wanted us thrown out of the USA, well instead of that, pack up and move to a country that specializes in socialism. That way you get your wish and we get to keep our freedoms.

Just a heads up idiot...in the socialist paradise you dream of you will be huddled over a fire trying to keep warm while drinking noxious potato vodka.

Well, he would have the same general knowledge of work, banking, and macroeconimics that Karl Marx had.  So at least he has that going for him.

My goodness they sure are superior to all of us.

BTW, as noted above, you would be long dead unless high up in the party in your communist paradise.  Always could head to China, NK, Cuba, or VZ to show us how super cool you are.

I don't know.  I mean the idiot has to be at least a useful idiot to wind up in front of the firing squad.  I never really bothered to look up what the communists did to useless idiots.

I'm on board with you dying and all, but come on.  There is no way in hell you will ever own a pack of gum, let alone an actual bookstore or any other venture.  And what's with the ownership shit, you old Commie?  All your stuff are belong to The State.

'Have decided'? He's been spouting socialism (overtly, not merely the policies but the name as well) for ages now.

Somehow I don't see him coping well with the whole 'from each according to his abilities' thing.

Well, his stated abilities include failing every drug test known to man.  So he's got that going for him.

Yeah, I think Taverner has confused "old socialist" with "useless f***er". I could see how easy that would be.

He doesn't want a job.  He just wants to hang out in a musty old bookstore getting stoned on vermouth & pot.  And he wants us to pay for it.

Proving that wisdom does not come automatically with age.  My guess is heavy drug usage has much to do with that.
