Socialism is best because under socialism. No one has to worry about being poor or starving to death. No one is poor, unemployed, discriminated, everyone is equal reguardless or race or creed. Today such ideas are condemned as evil. Any attempt to protest against slavery and genocide and human rights violations are met with the cries of COMMUNISM! By the religious right and then they conjure up stories about Stalin, Gulags, tortue, police state etc. So therefore we must stick with the current system of sweat shop slavery, poverty and racism while rich people who already have all they will ever need in life continue to thrive off our blood sweat and tears.
CAPITALISM KILLS:
Amazing how they criticize socialism and incorrectly lump Socialism with communism especially when capitalism has murdered more people than any other ideology. One forgets how capitalism starves the poor, about how beggars are thrown in jail, how native indiginous populations are exterminated so the rich can make an extral million bucks! They dont mention about how they control and oppress the people and how the masses are enslaved 48 hours a day in big factories so the rich can make money. They dont talk about women being abused and mistreated and discriminated. The Ku Klux Klan were Capitalists, the Nazis were capitalists, Augusto Pinochet was a capitalist, Ronald Reagan, Pol Pot, Queen Victoria, Columbus, George Bush, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Pat Buchanan, the pope, Osama Bin Laden and the terrorists they are all capitalists. Why dont we scream about the ills of their "system" of whatever!
COMMUNISM VS SOCIALISM
There is a big difference between socialism and communism. Communism is where the state controls everything. This is very similar to capitalism. The state controls the lives and destinies of everyone. Under socialism, everyone controls everything and everything belongs to everyone. We dont need to worry about stealing or going hungry or any of that stuff.
You might say, but hey! Who is going to have to work and whats the incentive for work?
Well of course that is somthing else but not to worry! Everyone will be working rich and poor. The workers however will decide everything and we can let the filthy stinkin rich worry wome other time. Everyone will have a job and be paid lots of money. I propose a minimum wage of $20.00 an hour for all workers. A maximum hour work week of 30 hours in a 8 day work week. Every company must hire unemployed workers reguardless of age sex race creed or education and we should also have an education system run by the people who will decide as a whole what to learn and if all else fails, we should can the rich and redistribute their weatlh. dont worry. They have plenty more where that comes from ;) YES! SOCIALISM! IT IS THE BESTEST GOVERNMENT EVER! I CANT WAIT! VIVA LA REVOLUTION!
He's bound to learn some bad habits from that. Those meerkats are positively salacious in their behavior.
I've never heard of it from dogs before, but I suppose it's possible ... do you have any insurance against identity theft?
For a minute there, I was really worried.
I thought you were getting ready to say Britney Spears.
I believe a snake has already laid claim on her.
Good Night, All!
My dog seems to like Jennifer Lopez sweat, and when she howls (I mean sings), he gets all excited.
I know - I didn't get back to the computer, that's why! :-P
So the gerbils are paying Anoreth rent? ;)
You're in the wrong month. I'll talk to you in October!
Actually, if you stretch the argument well enough, all forms of government are capitalistic. The question is, who gets the money? Under the design of socialism, the bureaucrats and government's gifted people have the great riches; the hard workers get little.
That's ok - I've already spoken to you in October! ;)
What the government has likely done is establish a maximum alcohol-by-volume figure -- maybe 90% -- and brewers and distillers are able to legally produce anything with an abv lower than that. So, no, the poteen you could buy today isn't "the real thing", because the real thing is about 97-99% abv [on our side of the Atlantic we double the percentage and call it "proof"; 99% abv = 198 proof]. Ironically, we could probably distill it legally over here on a "not for export" basis (wink-wink, nudge-nudge, say no more).
Unhappy times on the Lazy P Ranch, eh?
Got 4; BTDT, so I can empathize.
Yowza. Piddles of a puddle all over the landscape.
Of course, legal poteen is unlikey to have anti-freeze in it, either! ;)
LOL!
Yeah, but here in the U.S. it might be 15% gasoline.
"Man, that moonshine BURNS!!" :-P
Yeah, it burns, but not well enough to run my car.
You wanna run a machine on ethanol, get a turbine; they'll pretty much take anything flammable and be fairly happy.
Of course, the sunk cost of converting a vehicle to turbine power might be a tad bit higher than the average Joe can peel off, but, with the money you'll save burning...whatever, you could see break-even in 50 years.
With the unreliabilty of oil supplies, I'm thinking I'd break even a lot sooner! ;)
