She predicted a financial crisis and that debt would rise and rise? So did Karl Marx in 1867... Capitalism is inherently flawed...

@lynchthis1 Thanks for that highly intellectual rebuttal of socialism. PS Karl Marx wrote Das Kapital in 1867, which is a critique of Capitalism. Which is why I put that year. The communist manifesto was written by Marx and Engels much earlier in 1848. PPS Socialism was used in Libya under a system known as the 'Green System'. Libya had no IMF debt, $150 billion in the bank, 143 tons of gold and a similar amount of silver. Every citizen had a share in the national oil and no one went hungry. Now thanks to the US, forced regime change and Capitalism Libya has human trafficking and slavery. That's what Capitalism does to wealthy socialists countries. Look at the history of US interference and regime change in S.America...

@wolfiestreet6899 Marxist appologist? Das Kapital was a critique of capitalism that just gets more relevant each year. Why would anyone need to apologize for an accurate summary of the failures of capitalism? Right-whingers always use words they don't understand. That's the problem when you allow memes and tropes to dictate your cognitive reality. PS over 40% of jobs are BS and only needed to perpetuate the flawed system. I've worked all my life and am qualified to lead audit a company for ISO9001 standards. You're a slave to the system and you make yourself a slave to a rich man's ideology. PS don't pretend you're rich you can barely string a fking sentence together.

@MrDesmondPot Yay carcinogenic bugging devices and faux flavoured nutritional voids! I'm guessing that was facetious sarcasm, I like sarcasm. Despite suffering from a terminal case of it myself.

Saint Norbert Me too, although watching the human race and all its accomplishments being gradually devoured by the rancid, festering, cancerous, fatted carcass of disaster capitalism during its senseless, futile final death throes can be a little nauseating. Still, you got to laugh :)

Saint Norbert "Whenever life gets you down Mrs. Brown And things seem hard or tough And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft And you feel that you've had quite enough..." Just remember that you're standing in a country that's devolving and dissolving at 900 miles an hour. The Tories making millions every second, so it's reckoned, The media, the source of all their power. Now the sun, the daily mail, the daily express, the telegraph, are bullshitting millions of Brits every day, in the awful Tory Britain full of poverty and decay, On a planet in the embarrassed Milky Way. No worries!

@lynchthis1 We are done when I say so buddy, you don't call the shots. If you reach sentience and are able to articulate your reasoning I may learn to have a tiny amount of respect for you. But until then you should learn not to comment about things of which you are clearly ignorant. Your pop psychology is off on every point, which is expected from someone so fking clueless. You're about as useful as an ashtray on the international space station...
