:rofl:

That's good!

To every anti-socialist fearmongering piece of shit, I like to say "So stop using the roads; oh, and here, let me set your house on fire. Good luck putting it out, because you can't call the fire department because you hate socialism, and you can't get me in trouble with the police, because you hate socialism, and you can't take me to court because you hate socialism."

30. Thom Hartmann preaches this sentiment on just about
every show he broadcasts.

7. great...here is a quick synopsis from two american
socialists


I will let the American Socialist Daniel DeLeon define socialism:

Socialism is that social system under which the necessaries of production are owned, controlled and administered by the people, for the people, and under which, accordingly, the cause of political and economic despotism having been abolished, class-rule is at end. That is Socialism, nothing short of that.
(from Industrialism)



And I will let another American socialist, Eugene Debs, define capitalism:

The historic mission of Capitalism has been to exploit the forces of nature, place them at the service of man, augmenting his productive capacity a thousand-fold, to turn as if by magic, the shallow, sluggish dreams into rushing, roaring Niagaras of wealth—wealth to be poured into its own capitalist reservoirs, leaving to the toilers who produced it, a greater poverty, insecurity, and anguish than before.
(from Winning a World)



to bad Ted "Nuget" does not want the government to do anything for us. here in michigan where he lives some of the time, there are a lot of state and federally protected land...you know...a place were everyone can go and camp and fish and hunt and be in nature, kind of what he does....maybe the government should stop protecting land and let the capitalist pigs build shopping malls and strip malls


:rofl:

24. Thank you for that...

(from Winning a World)


This is the very definition of every stinking republican I meet. Whenever I see them, hear them, or smell them, I get an overwhelming stench of a self-important, capitalist-hungry, fascist. Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, all worthless cheerleaders for their planet-fucking cause.

9. Somalia--live the dream!
Ever notice how all the places with a high standard of living and law and order all have governments, large ones with lots of capacity to do stuff? And ever notice how the places that don't have governments are in a Hobbesian state of nature? This clip illustrates what Hobbes was writing about 400 years ago: though libertarians may hate the Leviathan, I don't see them embracing the alternative.

43. Look at the YouTube page for the video
Edited on Fri May-08-09 04:41 PM by nxylas
The maker of the video posts a link to an actual piece from the Ludwig von Mises Institute's webpage in which the author does just that (embrace the Somalian alternative).

(edit: here's the link - http://mises.org/story/2066)

Great ad gets the message across, although didn't quite highlight how ominous no government is. You could do a futuristic one mad max style libertarian heaven dog eat dog for a tank of oil.

Should have mentioned all the other things like roads, police protection, etc, they are relying on, though I LOVED the socialist beach.
