  1. Have you read anything by Marx except for the meaningless talking points from pundits who have NEVER opened Marx in their entire life? The goal was to eliminate the class system, where all are equal, having equal rights, and get what they need. Capitalist system means that someone must have the right to get more than what they need at the expence of their slave wage earners, and the owners can gamble on Wall Street. Lenin did the oposite of Marx' dogmas. And is by no means Socialist.

  2. Capitalism is nothing but economy based on debt and currency converting. Capitalism in it's gruelest form we have seen in practice with Reaganomics. Capitalism has shown it's true nature the last 40 years. Capitalism that was once tried to be imposed on Americas that lead to the anti-Capitalist royalism against the English throne and their cronies in East India Company. Learn to differ between mercantilism & gambling Wall Street style.

  3. Can you show anything in Marx Das Capital that is remotely equal to what has been practiced in the old Soviet Union? Guilt by association means that every self proclaimed Capitalist is siding with Wall Street, and the old East India Company and the royalists who supported this. Can you show how concentration of power and wealth in the hands of the few which is Capitalism differs from the Soviet style state capitalism?

  4. Cont.1 In short terms, the Boston Teaparty was AGAINST the style of Capitalism that RWers support. Studying USA style Capitalism is truly a study in gluteny, greed and the madness you mention.

  5. I know something about Scandinavia. I was born and raised there. And nothing regarding Lenin is remotely similar to the Scandinavian system. Now, I have lived and worked in 5 cuntries around Europe the last 9 years. So I know something about other countries as well and how their systems works. Since when did Marx promote dictatorship, people's right to freely assemble, associate and free speech? Never!

  6. I guess his silence was speaking loud and clear on this one. Ignorance is bliss. Dog whistles makes dogs bark. And key words makes Pavlovs dogs on the RW bark like mad.

  7. The countries closest to the dogmas of Marx can be found in Scandinavia. Full free speech there. Soviet Russia was never Marxist. It was a dictatorship after Stalin high jacked power even after Lenin warned against him. Money mongering, banking is the problem for a truly free market. Specially when we see how wealth are being redistributed from the working man to the pockets of the non working stock holders & CEOs. Keep money out of politics & keep Wall Street to the fire for starters.
