Look at you, you claim to be half Marxist yet you claim to be opposed to communism but seem to be open to a close relative called socialism. I have to admit its hard to figure out who is who because they're pretty similar in their beliefs and similar as far as the kind of government they represent and/or prefer. It seems, the communist and fascists prefer the method involving the use of force to eliminate existing governments and people in order take control over the nations wealth and the socialists prefer using an existing democratic process that's in place to accomplish the task instead. Sound about right?(09-20-2018, 01:07 AM)Classic-Xer Wrote: The blues may claim that a communist like system isn't what they want. However, a communist like system is what they need to control our freedoms. I've always said, your biggest issue is our freedoms.
Is that all you have? A straw man? Again, it is easy to tell a Democrat from a communist, or a Republican from a fascist. For example, I am not a communist. I view both the communists and the fascist as outgrowths of Agricultural Age authoritarian government, attempts to combine Industrial Age industry and technology with absolute power methods of ruling. I believe there must be checks and balances on everything, including and especially offers from an elite class.
Are you stupid?
Again, what freedoms are you claiming the blues are threatening? The 'right' to offer slave wages? The 'right' to be a racist? The 'right' to have the government enforce religious doctrines? What amendments of the Bill of Rights have been threatened?
As far as the freedoms the Democrats have taken away from me? The answer to your question is none. The Democrats aren't stupid enough to try it these days. Oh wait, the Democrat's did take away my right to have affordable health care like I had before Obamacare. But then again, I don't recognize that as being a right any way so I'll give them a pass on that one.
