Maybe it's just me, but I thought anarchism would somehow be different. I thought they'd be living off the land, not eMarketing their yuck-rags for cold, hard Government back fiat currency.

Don't you anarchists know you're supposed to be bartering using sheep, chickens, and other small barnyard animals and such?

Exchanging your crap for greenbacks only encourages the rest of us capitalists...

If your beliefs extend to the eschewal of American Fiat Blood Oil Dollars, you may send subscription fees in the live poutry of your choice.

The lead article will be "Why it is a good idea to spend all day posting nonsense on leftist message boards" by the Three Muskateers - Nonanarchist, Fresca, and Max. With an introductin by D'Artanyan, otherwise known as Bushadmirer.

Com'n, Meyer. They're just here to laugh and belittle people like you. Lighten up.

Oscar Meyer Londer Weiner et. al. can't take a joke.

Can't make 'em, either.

Absolutely NO sense of humor.

f) Dues

>snip<

""No dues are expected of comrades who face neo-liberal repression (ex: cut off welfare because of refusal of workfare program or for fraud) or are in prison.""

ROTFLMAO!!!!! no dues from people who are being paid by the government they are trying to overthrow!!

""Unwaged comrades and comrades who rely on state benefits for a living (i.e. welfare, pension, unemployed insurances, etc.) will pay the minimum. ""

Really laughing now.. "comrades who rely on state benefits for a living" you mean the anarchists that RELY on state benefits for a living, the same state that they are against??

You'll like this.

nessie at SF-IMC views himself as a writer. In the mythical world of anarchy as a way of life, he believes that he will write all day as his "work" in the collective, and that at the end of the day, all the people who have to labor under the hot sun in the fields to produce food will gladly exchange the food they have grown for his pitiful writings.

Yes, that's how fucked in the membrane these idiots really are.

Your reactionaries are just enraged because you missed the first 7 issues of Northeastern Anarchist and were forced to settle for Soldier of Fortune and Auto Customizer.

LOOK magazine would be more interesting and more relevant, and it's not even in print anymore.

Northeastern Anarchist does look like a good publication to line the bird cage with, although even my bird requires a better read than that rag.

...Anvil Maintenance Weekly would be more useful and entertaining than that annie rag.

Except for ridicule fodder, that is.

ML cracked a funny! Hee hee hee, Meyer, you've really been on a roll lately!

Hey guys, I bet he's a riot at parties! Can you imagine? It's got to be like:

ML: "You fascists know why yer beer tastes so green? It's 'cause the hops weren't picked by cheap labor immigrant day-workers, you nazi pieces-o-shit! This Bud's to you..."

Well, tastes differ, I guess. Some posters here like Northeastern Anarchist, and you fellows like Southeastern Klansman, except for a few who think that Southwestern Militia Member has better gun ads and more pictures of scantily clad chicks. You really should subscribe to some of those health magazines, though - the kind that helps you to recognize your mental problems and gives the proper advice on seeking professional help.

>You really should subscribe to some of those health magazines, though - the kind that helps you to recognize your mental problems and gives the proper advice on seeking professional help.

Sounds like you're very familiar with these ads. Time you act on it. Whacko.

I'd like to know why Meyer London thinks himself vividly sane, while believing the rest of us to be crazy as loons?

Say hello to Dorothy for me, Meyer!

You mean that tiny band of ultra-right wing cranks who spend their time posting fascist messages and defending ideas that were already discredited 200 years ago? What a laugh!

I assume he's talking about the voices in his head.

Exactly how many of them are they Meyer?

And how many of you?

No, I mean the crackpots who've made it their live mission to disrupt this site by posting pro-corporate, pro-zionist, pro-Bush nonsense here.

Sorry, I meant to type life's mission.

That's what asked. How many voices exactly are you hearing?

ML, have you ever heard of OCD?

Well, it can stand for obsessive compulsive disorder. But it can also stand for oddballs, clowns and dimwits. Is that what you losers are calling yourselves these days? I mean, how many times do you need to post messages here telling us that it is ok for Zionists to steal land from Arabs, for the US to burn babies in Iraq, for grocery chains to rob workers of their health insurance in order to boost profits and executive salaries, or for yuppies to target low-income neighborhoods for "gentrification" ? Don't you think we got the point long ago? That you admire theft, murder and exploitation?

He's definately losing his marbles folks. You can tell by all the first person plural pronouns he is constantly using... "us" ... "we" ... folks, you're witnessing the end stages of dementia here... the voices are really getting upset!

Hey Meyer! Those are some scary hallucinations you seem to be having there. I expect the Insane Clown Posse to jump out of my monitor an minute now!

Welcome to the Dark Carnival!

"an minute now!"

I meant "any". That was supposed to be "any minute now!" not "an". I know how obsessive you are. Wouldn't want a typo to dirve you crazy or something.

"dirve you crazy or something."

that was supposed to be "drive". My bad...

"agian" was supposed to be "again" ... sorry!

"Gee" probably should have been a lower case "g"...

Sorry!

Thanks to Max and Bush Admirer for providing us with those photographs. I must say that you two look exactly like I had imagined.
