I'm willing to concede that in order to have a working definition of socialism with YOU.

But as an American it's useful to point out to other Americans that the free market isn't the answer to EVERYTHING. Americans will look out at a beautiful sunrise and thank the free market.

I see where you're coming from.

Voting on toothpaste flavors and how much is to be produced sounds better than toothpaste production being dictated by major shareholders. I'll take democratic control over the economy any day

Ha.

How's that Mocha Caramel Cappuccino from Starbucks taste?

Almost as good as your Copenhagen Black.

I get it. We participate in society, therefore we aren't allowed to criticise it. Also I guess I can't endorse the MST in Brazil, I enjoy coffee after all.

This.

Lame. As usual. The only thing missing is your "I'm kidding" smilie.

And it's only people on the left that are rude and derisive, amiright fellas?

I'm, fine with some processed garbage food. Most is ****e though.

My fave.

Mixed with some raman noodles, tons of fresh ground pepper, and parm cheese = Mmmmmm.

Lean Cuisine? What are you, some middle class single mother who has delusions of being an upper middle class single mother?

It's fast, easy, good, and pairs well. **** off.

And not Lean Cuisine in general - just that specific one.

Hey, I'm just enjoying the "I Hate Capitalism But Benefit From It In Numerous Ways" Show. The only thing missing are some P90X infomercials.

Fair enough. Still taking a lame angle at the argument.

And this is the only way that these two things exist in the world.

Karl Marx is responsible for more deaths than any other individual human being in history.

White-Nationalists love to get a rise
out of sensible people by spouting off
one-liner bullshit. Don't play their game.

Hmm I think Pope Urban II or Ghengis Khan might want a word.

This, but unironically I guess?

You can't just make that claim with no effort to back it up. Where are your sources, young man?

This is the first time I'll have to disagree with you in this thread. As I see it, there goes a theoretical straight line from Marx/Engels to Lenin regarding the dictatorship of the proletariat. Trotsky and Lenin were pretty much in agreement here. Have you read The State and Revolution?

Marx wrote the communist manifesto. His ideals lead to communist governments which have killed around 100 million people. Obviously I am a personal responsibility advocate, and my comment wasn't literal (that Marx himself killed them all) but his theories have resulted in incalculable amounts of death.

Would you blame World War II on Friedrich Nietzsche?

There's a difference between a supposed influence and following a doctrine.

False analogy.

Goofle, I'm just losing so much respect for you. How can you mouth such nonsense? What about Jesus Christ? How many deaths is he responsible for? More than Marx?
And that **** Hitler too. And Julius Caesar. And the Pharaohs of Egypt. And ....
:rolleyes:

Adam Smith definitely has the higher death count.

If published writings are at fault for all these deaths, clearly Gutenberg is responsible for more deaths than anyone else in history.

Please continue with the Hillary memes.

I already explained the post above. Maybe I wasn't specifically correct, but the point was to state how awful the results of Karl Marx's writings have been. It's not that hard to see what I was saying.

It kinda is. You're glossing over a bunch of stuff and just zeroing in on points that fit your narrative.

I also use to think you were cool. Ahhh, the salad days.

Didn't they release that one album?

Yes.

No.

Slavery and the genocides were completely founded in capitalistic greed.

I mean in America. I think I can I make a pretty good case.

One word response: Greed

I think you know what I'm saying. I actually think if we were discussing it over a beer we'd be 90% on the same page.

Agreed. You guys' posts are reading very much along the same lines - seems like you're kinda splitting hairs at this point.

So what system do you do you think we should have in place then, if I may ask.

Precious.
