capitalists = retarded

by republicans rape the poor Monday, Feb. 21, 2005 at 9:04 PM

hey everyone,

the capitalist who hates socialism lives on welfare and is so stupid
- he thinks the war on terror benefits him even though his son or daughter's blood will be spent for oil
-he hates socialism, but yet his government benefits from free trade with a bourgeois communist state like China
-he drives an SUV or Hummer that gets 15 miles to the gallon
-he thinks tax breaks for the rich benefit him, even though his debt grows larger every year while elites
get a free pass
and on top of that, this fool is so stupid
-he thinks that people in america live in caves like bin laden and can't use computers...

"Looks like that group just wasted 10 grand and ended up getting scrubbed !!!"

Really? I doubt it. I suspect that the vandalism on the sign will only encourage those who have the beliefs you dislike to maintain, not challenge those beliefs. After all, who do think this billboard is "speaking to, the progressives in L.A. or the conservatives? In short, your juvenile prank may cause you a bit of short-term satisfaction but does NOTHING to challenge Bush and Cos imperialist and reactionary policies.

Really? you know absolutely that the artist/activist do nothing more then smear the right wing billboards with grafiti?!! I think you might be mistaken about the activism of the taggers.

Letting off some steam at the expense of the neo-con death cults therapy while making fun of their message is better then stewing in unspent anger.

LED TO THE SLAUGHTER

by systemfailure Wednesday, Feb. 23, 2005 at 4:40 PM





hey everyone,

the capitalist who hates socialism lives on welfare and is so stupid

-----The one who is "so stupid" is whoeve let you graduate from 8th Grade.

- he thinks the war on terror benefits him even though his son or daughter's blood will be spent for oil

------it benefits everyone when sandnigger terrorists are killed. even the Hate-America coward-crats of the left
OR IF IT WAS IN GERMANY IN THE 1930S
------it benefits everyone when JEWS are killed. even the Hate-GERMANY coward-crats of the left

-he hates socialism, but yet his government benefits from free trade with a bourgeois communist state like China

-------China will be turned into a capitalist nation by free trade, not the other way around CAPITALIST NATION , DOUBT IT,,,MAYBY AN OLIGIARCHY, BUT SOMTHING DEFINATLY FACIST.....LOOK INTO THE CHINESE ECONOMY AND THEN TRY TO TELL EVERYONE THE FUTURE, OR READ SOME ECONOMY BOOK, OR JUST READ ABOUT ITALY IN THE 1930S.




------elites get a "free pass," that's why they're taxed MORE than any other class in America. tax breaks benefit EVERYone.
NOT TRUE.
63% OF ALL CORPORATIONS PAY NO TAXES AND MANY CITIES AND STATES TRY TO LURE CORPORATIONS TO THEIR AREA THRU TAX BRAEAKS
the true parasites are the poor who pay NO taxes
NOT TRUE
THE WORKING CLASS AND POOR PAY A MAJORITY OF THE TOTAL TAXES EVERYTIME THEY BUY SOMTHING, AND PAY HIGHER PRICES ON ITEMS IN POOR NEIGHBOORHOODS
and still get "free" police and fire protection
I DONT REALLY THINK ITS FREE, ESP, IF YOU SEE THEIR TRYING TO RASE THE CITY TAX TO PAY FOR MORE POLICE--WHENEVER YOU BUY SOMTHING AND PAY THE TAX, YOU ARE PAYING HIGHER PRICES FOR "FREE" POLICE PROTECTION.
and gummint pimp daddy money for squeezing out the next generation of welfare brats
ARGUMENTATIVE AND CLEARLY UNKNOWN TO THE THE WRITER THAT A MAJORITY OF WELFARE RECIPIENTS IN AMERICA ARE WHITE.
OF COURSE, THE WRITER WOULDNT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH GOVERNMENT BAIL OUTS TO MAJOR CORPORATIONS LIKE THE AIRLINES ORE THRU WHITE COLLAR CRIMINALS LIKE ENRON OR WORLD COM ETC...

and on top of that, this fool is so stupid





lose the air of ingratitude.
AND STAY OFF THE DRUGS

post-communism in retrospect

by more rational Thursday, Feb. 24, 2005 at 6:25 AM

I think a few decades in the future, Communism will be seen as a relative success. In particular, it helped get a lot of people out from under the heel of colonialism. They pushed a lot of "backwards" countries toward industrialization. They promoted the idea of the separation of church and state in places where it was ahead of its time.

It was an idea, and a practice, that worked to inspire people to fight against colonizers, or to overthrow feudalism, monarchy, and the bourgeios elite.

What's happened since, is that these countries have transformed into something else that's not communism. The change, however, is mostly coming from within. Changes in China, Vietnam, Russia, and other countries, comes from within. Communism created the preconditions for "velvet revolutions" where people attempt change without civil war.

The question to ask is, "would these countries have been able to get where they are today without having gone through Communism?"

I think the answer is basically "no". During colonial phases, land and resource ownership is extremely imbalanced and unfair. Communism, by nationalizing resources, allows the state to stop the profit-taking and export of wealth, and refocus the profits into domestic spending.

I thought I'd find some articles about this, but got distracted by an interesting essay about post-communist politics in Poland.

Anti-Imperialism

"It was an idea, and a practice, that worked to inspire people to fight against colonizers..."

You are actually talking about nationalism, not communism. Communism did not bring people together in China, Russia or Vietnam, nationalism did.

"taggers"???

by real Thursday, Feb. 24, 2005 at 12:06 PM

"I think you might be mistaken about the activism of the taggers"

Anyone who refers to writers as "taggers" is a toy, especially if they are doing the tagging. And yes, I suspect that defacing billboards is the extent of their "activism". I'm quite familiar with the world of writing, have been lucky enough to get the real-deal from TRUE KINGS not toy-ass busters...
