Issues you kinda sorta side with the Conservatives on

For me it's GMOs.

The research shows they're not anywhere as dangerous as the anti-GMO crowd says they are

That being said, I do believe in labeling. I think the flavor folks in NJ should be listing their ingredients as well.

This is not a joke thread - I just thought I'd take in the opposite direction.

If you know me, you know I'm a Communist Sympathizer at the least...

So, for me, the biggest is "From each, according to their ability. To each, according to their need."

Worth a read...

"From each, according to their ability. To each, according to their need." = "Slavery of those with abilities."

"From each, according to their ability. To each, according to their need." = "Slavery of those with abilities."

The whole problem with that is that it gives to people with wants, not just needs.  Lazy ass people that are able to work but refuse to yet think they are owed a  share of what we work for.

Have to disagree. It's "Slavery for all."

How any person can actually believe this is beyond me.  And I try to be a very open minded person. 

There are even some liberal agendas I can at least understand where they come from it's just the end point in most of their agendas makes no logical or economical sense for anyone not even themselves.  Most of the serious none fringe agendas are just short sighted IMO.  Heck, after thinking about it, even this statement is short sighted. What happens when nobody is providing according to their ability because they are sick of having nothing and working their ass off just to give to everyone else.  Eventually you have a society where no one works and thus there is no production or output.  What then dummies?

Same thing happens every time. Gulags.

Their utopia cannot exist except at gunpoint.

Taverner:  I have no abilities and I really need a fix.

1. Race

the CPUSA was on the right side of the race issue as early as the 1930s -- easily a generation before any other organized faction of society. That's why Paul Robeson joined.

Blacks in Cuba are treated worse then whites in Cuba.

Sounds like you're SOL, tavernturd.
You have no contributing abilities, therefore you have no needs.
Suck on a rock, DUmbass.

Tav is only concerned with the second half of his Holy Maxim.  The first part he couldn't be bothered with.

Other than to saddle the producers with even more demands for their wealth to be 'redistributed' to him.

Let me answer myself since I wrote this Detriot has filled for Bankruptcy.

See they taxed the people who worked to death to pay for the people that didn't.  Then when the working people left Detroit just charged it until their debt became so big they couldn't pay.  Luckily this is just a city in a large country where there are other options and can move.  But what happened in Detroit is exactly what will happen to the whole country expect the people won't have any where to go.
