I think the most i can read into it right now is that you're a 12 year old with to much time on your hands.

Didnt assume age,i just remember either something from you or nobby that im pretty sure said you were around 12 or 13 years old.

You're pretty sharp for your age, you just need the experience and understanding that will hopefully come in time. Just have to realize that a 12 year old even with a firm understanding of Marx and Weber (which it is far from) you still have never had a job or havv been badly oppressed or had to deal with most of woes of the "Proletariat".

Before you expound the virtues of Soviet Russia try reading a book like Imperium by Kapuscinksi.

Can anybody recommend a good salve for my junk? It's a little chaffed and irritated for GFYing myself yesterday. I hear Tiger Balm makes it feel tingly. And I like tingly.

You *******, where's my PM?

I think you should send them more PMs Drac; funny responses.

Drac, the reason you shouldn't tout Communism as an ideology until you've had more experience in life is because it makes you sound like a pretentious twerp. Have you even had a job? Have you lived on a commune? Have you seen Marxist theory in practice on even the smallest of scales?

Having done all these things, let me tell you one truth, one defining revalation, one epiphany: Marxism sucks. Marxists suck. Don't take that personally; it's just that the only people I know who can tolerate Marxists are other Marxists. Communism is for two classes of people: those who wish to dominate, and those who lack the ability or drive to carve a better life for themselves.

Again, don't take it personally. If you still want to be a Marxist after you get your first paycheck and see how much you give to the government for allowing you the privilege to work, I can offer you the works of another famous Marx: Groucho.

Clever. Impotent adolescent rage at its finest.





In theory, not a whole lot. In practice, quite a bit. Let me see if I have this right: "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need," or some fair approxiamtion of that, correct? Who determines ability? Who determines need? More importantly, upon whom falls the onerus task of distribution? If you guessed the proletariat, you lose.

The correct answer? The government.

I can tell you're pretty smart, although a little misguided. Reflect on the above paragraph, and think about how it relates to the government allowing you the privilege of "aiding the proletariat."

If you have any other questions, I'll be checking this thread for a while.

One last thought: Communism is doomed to fail because it fails to factor in humanity. If there is no possibility of bettering one's situation, one will do as little work as possible just to avoid the lash. Or midnight disappearances.

It's all semantics, really.

Bwuh?!
