I think you underestimate the importance of the job of London Underground staff. They are responsible for the safety of thousands of passengers every day and if you've ever lived or worked in London (or even visited) you'll know how vital the tube is for London to function. I detest your argument ...

Every time their union decides to strike out of pure greed they should just be billed the estimated cost to the city. That will sort them out.
Hardly for pure greed. This is a critical battle in the war to stop bosses and the government making ordinary people pay for the a crisis created by those ...

Bullet in the Head. John Woo's masterpiece depicting the corruption of the South Veitnamese government.
(I also agree 84 Charlie Mopic is class).
From the list - Apocalypse now easily the best.

Class traitor.

North Korea has just qualified!!
On the commies!

Just hope they get the Great Satan (USA) in the group stage!

You should always tip; just let the degree of service determine how much. Waiters and waitresses require tips in order to get their pay. That's why they have a lower minimum wage than normal.

Tipping's a disgrace. It allows the owner to exploit the worker into accepting lower basic wages. The ...

only one.

I reckon two can name their hat colour (One before the other though...)

I found a 17th century iron spear head on my dads farm when I was ploughing once when I lived there. Its corroded a bit from age but my best find by far. Probably used in the covenanting times. My dads farm lies on the probable path of retreat from the Battle of Bothwell Bridge in Hamilton (Scotland ...

Question for you flashleg8: How much wealth did Fidel Castro have compared to the wealth of a factory worker in Cuba? Was it the same? I would assume that President Castro made more money, lived in a lavish home (or homes), had more lavish vehicles, security, and food than the vast majority of ...

Missus had Big Fella Thanks (ew) did not here his name mentoined until 2 to go and it was too far back at that time.



I was on him too with a ew on Offshore account (since I'm working offshore the now!).
Bag of piss.

Knew I should have been on Comply or die (ew). But the 100-1 shot! What a ...

And as for your ridiculous assertion of the food production just take a look at what the rapid industrialisation and modernisation of agriculture achieved.
YES! Let's!

ETC.

I will stop there, but the truth is I could go on about the midwest, the southern US, Mexico, Africa .... etc. Each ...

What! You sir are a fool if you think the Nazis have anything to do with Communism or Socialism. Hitler murdered tens of thousands of German communists in his death camps and if you think nationalism has any place in socialism you are badly mistaken. Fascist parties are polar opposites to ...

I've got a definition for irony:

Ernesto Che Guevara's image is under copyright...

No its not. If you are refering to the famous "Guerrillero Heroico" photograph by Korda then yes of course copyright exists on the photograph as it would on all others. As a lifelong communist and supporter of ...

Okay we are arguing across two threads. Obviously I disagree with your whole post, but this is really the fundamential part that I wish to hold you to account for:


Totalitarian? Again this does not equal feudalist. These countries were most definitely capitalist. They invented capitalism an ...

Your lies will not work here. Lets not forget how Lennon killed (murdered) countless Russians to seize power from the people for political control.

? The October revolution was actually pretty bloodless. The civil war afterwards was another matter (started by the reactionary "whites"). The ...

These were all monarchy's in their hayday.

A King or Queen doesn't mean the country is feudal? I am using the term in the Marxist sense. These countries shook off feudalism in the 17th and 18th centuries (if not before).

They were totalitarian countries when they were like this, much like the ...

Sorry for the double post.


The leftist "liberals" (which is a misnomer in the worst way because they want nothing to do with liberty) walk through this land blathering on and on about how entitled everyone is when in fact, you only wish to win the ideological war for people's minds so that you ...

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY ITS SET UP, THEN WHY DON'T YOU GET THE HELL OUT AND CHOOSE A DIFFERENT SOCIETY TO LIVE IN?

Aha, try answering that one.

Well, It's quite simple.

These champagne sociailists' points of view are quite simply the decadent, bourgeious musings of addled teenage-rebels ...

We merely have to look at USSR which from a semi-feudalist base level in 50 years managed to put the first man in space! .

And 1 harvested spud per annum for every 38 peasents!

Seriously though, most european nations at that time were feudal to an extent - the example you give is extremely poor ...

The death match question made me laugh out loud - you Americans crack me up!

Face it, You can make a socialist society, and after a few generations of mediocrity, when your education system is so norm referenced that the average grade is little more than a D- by today's standard and your next crop of "socialist political genius leaders" are operating at such a borderline ...

All in all what i really have to say is...

The corrupt capitalist system will only be overthrown when the proletariat are awakened to their own ...

They decided to buy the workers off, give them a piece of the cake (regulated working times & conditions, paid sick-leave, minimum wages, etc.) not because they liked the socialist ideas, but because they were horrified by them and wanted to prevent a real socialist revolution (that would have ...

First if all let me apologise for not reading the whole thread (7 pages in 3 hours!) but I feel I must contribute from a Marxist perspective.

The argument about "true" capitalism (seeming to mean a market free from all forms of state control) and the existing capitalist system (one with limited ...
