You've blown your cover. Do you really think I'm a socialist millionaire? Do you think anyone does? Actually I'm probably worse of financially than you are. I go to school full time, work full time, and give my parents money so they can live. I don't think I've got it bad comparatively, but I'm certainly no millionaire. What is your economic condition? I paid for school and this computer with school loans. I attend a university that was created to serve the impoverished inner city so that they could work to support their children or parents and still get a better education.

What is it that you do that makes you so aware? Read one-sided ideology on economics in a cursory fashion?

Even if one were to go along with your sick, demented plan to create thousands of sweatshops in third world countries to allow them to barely survive (not to mention this would also make the U.S.A. a global employer of impoverished peoples, like a card player holding the whole deck of cards and saying, "I'm winning, you're fucked") how long would this process take?
Cursory indeed. Am I not wrong is recalling the Marx said that Communism cannot be installed with some sort of Lenninist Vanguard party but rather must come naturally from capitalisms down fall as it tries to handle its every expanding rings of capitalism? Jesus, I hope that isn't correct or ironically enough I'm the one supporting communism and you're supporting Lenninism.

As America consistently increased supply for goods with additional sweatshops, the majority of these goods would be imported into America, and American residents would eventually lessen their demand.
This, of course, would hinder funds on more sweatshops, because the sweatshops producing goods would already be too much for the budget of these patronizing American saints.
Who is patronizing again? Any by the way, what country are you from?

The overall effect would be protest of increased outsourcing (because you would eventually delve into more skilled craft, not just work for impoverished residents of other nations) and America would be seen as a trickster that put a dollar bill on the hot pavement, only to pull it back from a recipient (for 15 hours a day, mind you).
God forbid I don't read that closed-minded hogwash from All Night Dinah but apparently you couldn't be bothered to read anything I wrote. Not only did I use facts, facts that backed up my statements and countered yours, but these people want the 15 hour a day jobs. Believe it or not, Not everyone believes that the hug-circles and maypole dances of your unhygienic dystopia are the "stuff of dreams."

Horrible plan; if you had taken the time to read some other statements by All_Nite_Dinah you might have possibly understood a little more.
If you had read anything I wrote, or more importantly anything I've read you might be slightly more capable to argue.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe, from that, and other posts you've made in the past, that you are one of the "in the box" individuals who was spoon fed on Capitalist theory and can't efficiently think any differently.
Well lets see. You apparently see no problems with this system thats set to save us all, and hasn't in the past. The system in place that affords you the ability to protest has absolutely no redeeming qualities. And I'm the one in the box?

You offer no solutions, just condemnation of systems in place. The grass is always greener I suppose. But thus the issue. As Micheal Freeden accuratly put it:

"Marx's quasi-messianic conviction that a socialist, undistorted society would prevail meant that present defects were worth deploring, not exploring. It is as if a student of political institutions decided that it was a waste of time to study the House of Commons because its debates exhibit inferior political practice; they display loutish behaviour, competitive antagonism, gross inefficiencies and ridiculous seating arrangements. Instead, declares the scholar, let's devote our intellectual efforts to predicting the development of a best-practice legislature, which can be defended and endorsed permanently"

And so it goes. Your idiot system works because no one is proving that it will fail. Not any more.

You see to be gunning for me in every thread Trauma. Be careful you don't run out of ammunition sir, lest you be seen as a fool. Given what you say, I clearly already am, and have nothing to lose.
