Cut from Boortz today. Socialist Demos speak!

[Blood of Tyrants]

The morons over at DU are convinced that socialism failed only because the "right people" weren't in charge.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Been there, done that...ask the 100 million plus dead if socialism works.

At first, elected Councils of Workers' Representatives, organs of mass democracy, on a neighborhood, municipal, regional and national (and, eventually, international) level, meeting to set public policy. Over time, these councils would cede more of its "power" to the shop committees, thus letting the state "wither away" into little more than an administrative body. But this last part can only really begin in earnest once workers around the world have liberated themselves from capitalism.

Socialism, hell, this is communism. Soviets. Workers councils.

Of course, it never quite worked as well in practice as it did in theory /extreme sarcasm off.

Please don't plug any "liberaldrivel.com" sites in the wonderfull haven of conservative political discorse.

I ventured over to that thread after reading Nealz Nuze this morning. There are some people on there who are actually speaking the truth, such as Brindle_Boxer. I noticed that persons account has been banned. Gee, I wonder why.

The Russian word for which is COBETbI (Soviets).

[babyface00]

What I want to know (and this is a rhetorical question) is
WHAT'S STOPPING THEM?

If "worker's owning the means of production" is so great (look how well it worked for United!), then set up a damn commune factory . I'm sure there are plenty of rich, white, socialist-leaning, guilty people (i.e. Hollywood) who would contribute the capital needed (until these morons abolish private property) to get them started.

Go for it. See what its like to compete in the real world and stop whining. I dare you to prove us capitalist's wrong.

[neutrino]

Good information. Keep in mind, though, that these are the people who want Lott to be destroyed. Kinda makes one think about unintended consequences, doesn't it?

[dead]

These committees would work together with similar bodies on a local, regional and national (and, eventually, international) level, in order to make sure enough items are produced for every human on the planet.

Comical naïveté.

Silly children over there.

[axel f]

You said it. These people need help.

Be afraid.
Be very afraid.

[Billthedrill]

Oh, brother - somebody's been reading the Communist Manifesto for a highschool project again.

[mountaineer]

One area we went to, where my friend's in-laws live, had multi-million dollar homes. These houses look like office buildings or hotels and most have only two people (rich, old, white couples) living in them.

Where were they, Hollywood?

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

I am glad it is us who believes in gun ownership! These people are scarry.

[HetLoo]

It's official, I'm a socialist at heart. Last night a friend drove my husband and I around after dinner to look at the Christmas lights.

Their "friend" has a car big enough to drive two extra people around and they didn't invite any homeless/carless people to enjoy the fruits of others' labors (Christmas lights) with them? Or even sell the car and give the money to the homeless? What's wrong with these selfish people?

[91B]

Somebody really should sit down and explain Michel's Iron Law of Oligarchy to these people.

Then, if there were still some areas in which the means of production are owned by individuals instead of workers' cooperatives, a wall could be built around them to prevent them from polluting our world wide socialist paradise. Of course it would have to be well armed and mined to prevent the deluded (probably insane) members of our socialist society from trying to exit our paradise.

Please pay no attention to crack-pot leaders on the capitalist pig side insisting that we "tear down this wall".

My maternal grandmother was active in the Democratic party in Iowa serving on the Iowa Democrat National Committee, and was a delegate to Democrat National Convention twice.

If see could have forseen what has become of the party today, represented by the hairy women and limp wristed males that frequent democraticunderground she would literally be rolling in her grave.
