Well, maybe it's different where you live. Here, politics comes down to matters of life and death very quickly.. so, naturally, everyone feels the need to influence.

Shows how much you know about communism :rolleyes2 you can have what you desire.Originally Posted by I'm my own MILF
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA yeah right with 10 cents a hour, in horrible conditions, 14 hours a day without any rest. Yeah i'm sure you'll LOVE your job when you experience it.I'd say I'm glad of a job where I make more money than almost everyone else in the land.
Have you ever been to Cuba? Their living conditions are great, everyone has jobs, excellent education, and free health care. But you'll never hear and see that since your Goverment doesnt permit you to go there.How communism works? Evidence so far suggests it works like 'Revolution -> new government -> dictatorship'. Come back when every attempt at the system hasn't led to cataclysmic failure and we'll talk.
At the cost of other countries . Those countries stole from Latin America , South East Asia and africa what would you expect? They gotta do something to make their people feel great and not result into a Revolution.Most of the people I see in Britain and America are very well off. They've a house, a car or two, a tv or three, some videogame systems, a PC, clothes, food, yadda yadda yadda.
Who the US? Your kidding right? You guys are becoming Fascist http://www.antiwar.com/roberts/?articleid=7556The same is true of Australia, Japan, and Europe (Though socialist measures are putting us on course to be a second-world entity within two decades.).
It would look even worse compare the US to some country like Western Sahara or Congo.If you measure wealth only as a comparison against the wealthiest, of course it will look bad. If you're talking on an international level,
They still are full of sweatshops genius thats how they became the fastest-growing economies in the world.well the fact is that not everyone started capitalism at the same time. See how India and China a decade ago were all about the sweatshops? Now they are among the fastest-growing economies on Earth.
Their in the same position they were in 10 years ago nothing has improved. All that money goes into the pockets of the Goverment and the Elites.Why? Because you can't just click your fingers and solve your poblems, it takes work. They've put the work in; now they're up a level, able to talk about jobs better than manufacturing and resource harvesting.
Yeah like how unemployment in Venezuela has decreased by 2% in just one year and 40% more kids are in school ever since Hugo Chavez stepped in as president.Edit: And it's largely socialist measures (such as protectionism) which are causing the harm to the third world anyway.
Why not?Why should the weaker benefit from the work of the stronger?

I say we take all Communists, let them live by their beliefs, make them work their arses off for no money, give them a minute percentage back, and have ourselves live well off with a glass of Matini in one hand and a book by Victor Hugo in the other. Wait, then we'd be like the rulers in every Communist regime the world has seen thus far.
It just doesn't work. Neither does Radical Capitalism (the Great Depression, anyone?). So stop throwing stupid slogans in the air, and start making some God-damned sense.
Thank you.

God your ignorent. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A COMMUNIST REGIME!!! How many times does it take for it to go through your thick heads? There has never been any Communism in the world, ok? Stop using that lame excuse. If you wanna continue this debate lets continue it on the Communist vs Capitailist thread.
A "communist regime" can't occur because most people are smart enough to realize they don't want to be slaves to the state. And we'll stop with pointless things like that if you stop regulating capitalist free-socities with fascism, when they are clearly different.
What state? Communism is a state-less society. Shows just how much you know about it. Try reading something from eagle's, marx or lenin before stating such bs. Now we can stop descussing this.Originally Posted by Hachifusa

And no, really, what you're describing has been described as "pure communism" or "anarcho-communism", which is not the same thing as applicable communism. It's basically an anarchist's jerk-off ideas about what communism should truly be about.
Trust me: I am fully aware of what I'm saying.
So... why do so many Cuban immigrants swim/row/ride/whatever to Florida every day, if the living conditions are as good as you asy they are?Originally Posted by FFGuevara
ARGUMENT FROM GUITAR MASTERY
(1) Eric Clapton is God.
(2) Therefore, God exists.
He claims that they are from other socities, and they first go to Cuba and then attempt to go to the United States. However, in our bourgeois attempt at trying to destroy and tarnish the nature of communism/"extreme socialism", our government lies to us, telling us that they are all from Cuba. It sounds nice, but I had a few questions:
First off, if America is the bastion of evil and exploitation, why would anyone, anyone at all, want to go there?
Most importantly, what kind of information are you privy to that allows you to know what's really going on? And more specifically: how do you know that your government isn't lying to you?
What other choice do they have? If theres no job's , they live under a dictatorship and they always hear about the "American Dream". You'd be desperrate too, so its ether the border or the shores of Flordia.Originally Posted by Hachifusa
I learn, i listen to things that arnt funded and ordered by that Goverment. I actually started thinking for myself and give my own opinion's on thing's.Most importantly, what kind of information are you privy to that allows you to know what's really going on? And more specifically: how do you know that your government isn't lying to you?
Don't people like you believe that our government funds absolutely everything? Can you point me to some conspirasy websites, based in "random guy's basement" in "Belgium/Poland", where they know all about the US Gov't's lies?
