Pravda: American capitalism gone with a whimper

[Subdivisions]

How about this for turnabout...Pravda calling U.S. Marxists


http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/107459-0/

It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.

Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.

First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish.

1. Interesting

But it appears to boil down to the same desire to see us fail that they had when they were Marxists. We're not Marxist, and we're not going to be Marxist. Even our Marxists aren't Marxist. As I have pointed out to conservatives in the past: If you think that the far left is communist, I invite you to shop in an organic health food store.

2. Considering that the happy days of the soviet union

were during the NEP period, not even the marxists are marxist.

3. From those who went broke because they invaded Afghanistan...

Wait...:scared:

4. What a piece of crap!

"the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed" Marxism ?

Where ? "capitalism gone with a whimper" Really ? I must have missed that.

So Stalin was in fact an American agent to help conduct a bloody test upon Holy Russia and

the Cold War was just a smoke screen.Got it.

5. Considering the source is now a "New Capicommunistalist"

for the richest class only, who never knew anything about what Marxism is really about...

6. Yeah, Russia is the greatest country the world has ever known

where the rich and famous used to refuse to speak Russian - comme il faut etc etc

7. Interesting.

It seems the Russians are watching our decline with abated breath?

8. Well, why wouldn't they?

They finally throw off the shackles of totalitarian communism and are rewarded with 20 years of hearing Americans saying "nyah, nyah na, na nyah - we BEAT you!"

Though no great effort on our part, we were the last ones standing at the end of the cold war, and we NEVER let them forget it.

We NEED to be taken down a peg, if you ask me.

9. I won't argue about that but...

What is surprising is that you'd think that the Pravda would have evolved a bit in all that time.Their

propaganda is barely more sophisticated than it was 20 years ago and when it come to facts even Fox

looks good in comparison.If the Russians are ready to swallow that article then the "dumbing down"

is not exclusive to the U.S.

10. You do realize that when they, over there, talk about 'marxism' they

are not talking about the economic theory envisioned by Marx, but the concentration of political and economic power in the hands of elites - what the communists system devolved into by the end of the communist era.

They are saying that America is in the hands of a power and economic elite that is unresponsive to the people and is likely to oversee the destruction of the nation, just as the Soviet communists and the inept Weimar republic did.

Do you disagree?

I sure the fuck don't.

14. You do realize that this rag is just nonsense do you ?

"Village residents from the Rostov region of Russia caught a weird creature two weeks ago after a strong storm in the Sea of Azov.The shark-looking creature was producing strange squeaky sounds.The fishermen originally believed that they had caught an alien and decided to film the monster with the help of a cell phone camera. The footage clearly shows the creatures’ head, body and long tail. The bizarre catch was weighing almost 100 kilograms, the Komsomolskaya Pravda reports.


However, ufologists and scientists were greatly disappointed when they found out that the fishermen had eaten the monster. They said that they were not scared of the creature so they decided to use it as food. One of the men said that it was the most delicious dish he had ever eaten."

11. 'Pravda.ru' has nothing to do with the Communist Party's 'Pravda'.

Pravda was closed down in 1991. It restarted and was sold to some Greeks. The journalists were unhappy, quit and started, pravda.ru, pro-Russian, but not part of the Communist party.

13. See post 14

12. Wait wait...Wall Street was in bed with the marxists?

15. Why did you post that shit ?

Your nick is very appropriate.I hope you had fun at least.

16. wow

First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights.

They got our number. I could go for a Big Mac right now.
