Dang. Well I'm streaming again.

And another reason Batman is awesome is cause one of the Robins started out as a homeless smoker with a Poison Idea poster who tried to steal the Batmobile's wheels (and the Joker ran away).

Capitalist brains need to stop living on this planet. There’s probably no other way to get there.

I don’t need another history lesson on why Stalin bad either. He’s flawed but so far he’s the best example of the process.

If Trump could trade capitalism for communism he’d love it. It’s terrible but I’d give him the reins if he started straight sending all property owners to their deaths. He needs a scapegoat. Class divisions could work, too. Hitler was a Jew. What’s it matter if the greatest communist is a capitalist? Trotsky called Stalin a capitalist. Stalin was a capitalist but most of the people he killed deserved it.

Hitler was no Jew.

Well he was very successful none-the-less.

Where'd that rumor come from?

Study suggests Adolf Hitler’s paternal grandfather was Jewish

I have no idea. Idgaf. Surprised anyone made it through that rant. I’m feeling positively murderous today.

Not really the scientific consensus though.

I always enjoy your rants. Don't go overboard with the murderousness though.

Socialism in One State is not communism

I had this argument with my friend the other day. Telling him that communism is the most congruent economic system with true libertarianism with the least amount of government. He wasn't hearing it because 'wikipedia says blah blah blah about China and Soviet Russia'.
