Marxist theory holds the state in utter contempt, labels it an oppressor of the people. In a perfect marxist society the state withers away to an anarchist nirvana.

Same would go for drugs.

Yes, you have to have use before you can define abuse.

[Roscoe]

Is your real last name "Strawman"?

I don't think she related to you.

[William Terrell]

I really really don't want to honor a website put up by people weak enough to let perception override actual reality with a hit. My published facts are more numerous, recent and politically distant than your's.

But maybe you'd like to answer the one I asked BabyDoc. What's intrinsically wrong with being "high", euphoric or having an alterered state of consciousness? God says not to? Where does He say that?

Pipe dream on.

I realized that he had made a rational argument

As a heroine of mine said, "check your premises."

[RJCogburn]

Sound familiar? It should. It's the libertarian mindset, too.

Gee, Kevbo, you are making up stories here. You also need to check you premises.

[William Terrell]

Do you have your answer to my question?

[Roscoe]

scrub away your reasoning with published facts

Bunk. You ran away from these published facts like a scalded dog.

I had to read this several times before it focused.

I thought Marxism was the founding principal of communism. To impose such an unnatural mold on human nature would take the most powerful state imaginable, as has been the case. Wasn't the USSR such a state?

In light of this, how can you make a statement like that?

[Kevin Curry]

*Sigh*

Your apple shouts so loud I cannot hear a word you say.

Study, man, study. Try understanding the vileness of Marxism before you critique it. You might just find your own face staring back at you.

[William Terrell]

I don't want to give the site a hit. Why don't you copy and paste the parts that excite you?

[Roscoe]

I don't want to give the site a hit.

Marvelous article. The WODDIES are sure to be in max attack mode!

THis is funny, considering that I probably haven't posted on a libertarian-themed thread in about a year. And on this post, my only one of the thread, I didn't even make an argument, much less a strawman one. So I guess basically you should be known as "Mr. Ad Hominem."

[Roscoe]

1. Is your real last name "Strawman"?

2. So I guess basically you should be known as "Mr. Ad Hominem."

Is your real last name "Hypocrite"?

[William Terrell]

Do you know how to cut and paste? Wouldn't take but a minute and I'm sure you have soem personal favorites. Not an unreasonable request. What are you afraid of?

[William Terrell]

So? Give me some evidence that Marxism hates central government. All I see is evidence to the contrary.

Somebody didn't stay awake in freshman political theory 101. This statement couldn't be more incorrect.
