And here's Chula to give the ol' anti-Frown pep talk.

Like I said, make a choice or SHUT THE **** UP. You are wasting oxygen.
You know what’s really funny? You’re actually more hateful than I am.

Your idea of anarchism is Chula and you will absolutely be a SoCal democrat in ten years because you have as much integrity as any 20-year-old who likes punk rock.

Have you ever noticed anything about our current system?

So you prefer to be cuddled after I violate you. Shhh. Shhh. The pain will pass. And then we will truly begin.

Who do you think are going to be your masters when you are making all these concessions to capitalists?

Would the Dems have repealed the Clean Power Plan?

Both parties will dig up and burn every ounce of fossil fuel in the earth. No difference.
^ I don't agree with these answers. Firstly, no-one is suggesting that the Dems can save the world, secondly, the Dems have more environmentally-friendly policies. Isn't that why the GOP are always grumbling about Obama-style restraints on industry?

No, they keep their racism more disguised.
^ This is an example of failing to value the distinction between bad and very bad. The fact is that disguised racism is much better than blatant racism, as many victims would attest, I'm sure.

Watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through
But you guy's know everything.

You mean owning the Capitol or controlling capital?

You know I oppose private property and I’m against any form of monetary system at all. I’m against money existing so don’t try to paint me as some part of the right.

You’re a straightforward liberal. There’s no shame in that but you’re not even close to being an anarchist.
