The Left's Collapse

[Rockie Cantais]

Politics should not be there to entertain you. That is not their function.

It is the real world.

Yes it is the Real World! You are entertaining not the politicians! ;)

This is a sample of what you may encounter internationally (granted, heavily biased torward the male gender, a somewhat younger age group, a gamer mentality and wealthier nations).

That I can see.

Unless you are one of those with dillusions that the US should/will rule the world or otherwise have no interest whatsoever in debating politics outside your borders, you might want to take it into account.

I am one who think we Americans should pull back and leave the world alone. Trade, Commerce and other good will stuff yes; but its time to bring our troops home. We are stretched to thin and its one of the things killing our economy.

Regardless of whether you care about it or not, the politicians you elect certainly will.

I care and I expect them to care too.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Capitalism

A term that was appropriated by Communists, Facists, liberals, laissez-faire capitalist thinkers...

It does seem to be a very flexible term.

Seems like all kinds of term are exchangeable nowadays.

You ackowledge that and yet in practice, you argue against anything that goes against the tenets of pure capitalism by claiming it will make things more "socialist".



Consistency please.

That is the one thing the world is lacking right now, Consistency!

If you are refering to the 'original' communists from the Bolchevik revolution, they are probably all dead from old age at this point.

Let them rest in peace.

Lets try this.

Communist have not gone away nor has the Fascist or Ultra Nationalism. You do understand that Socialism is the first steps toward Communism? The people may be dead who started Communism but their ideas are still alive. Same with the hated Fascists the names have changed but all those groups and their fundamental ideas are still alive. The language is changed all the time to hide the truth. He who controls the language controls the debate and so on.
