[spectre1delta]

Awareness is growing day after day, people are more informed and sick of the line they hear from our nations past leaders. Quietly condemning Israel just cant cut it any more. Zionism is real.

[CELLCELLPHONE]

My mother is Jewish and my father is Muslim. I can see both sides clearly without any blockage. To me this is clearly what Hitler did to Jews and now they are doing it to Palestinians. I am 100% behind the people of Palestine, its shame for any Jew to be behind a bunch murdering Jews. Israel must stop killing NOW, the world is watching you. FREE PALESTINE

"From 1887 to 1930, Argentina enjoyed increasing prosperity and prominence through an export-led economy, and the population of the country swelled sevenfold." Is this the turn of the century argentina you refer to? Quote from Wikipedia

[cptflume]

No, that would be the more recent one, where their economy collapsed.

[laborwage]

Argentina's recent problems come as a result of a fixed exchange rate, and not their market-oriented economics of the earlier 90's. Guy, arguing against the ability of markets to produce wealth is an uphill battle indeed.

[cptflume]

I'm not arguing against the ability of markets to produce wealth. Capitalism was progressive: it increased productivity and wealth to the point where there is enough to meet everyone's needs. Now, it's reactionary, and socialism is progressive.

[cptflume]

[cptflume]

Creation of wealth is one thing, but meeting human needs is another, and this is where capitalism fails. Wealth is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few while 6 million die of hunger each year and billions go without.

[laborwage]

That would be the classic argument agianst capitalism. However, the countries that had more government intervention into the economy neccesarily also had more inequality of wealth. Shit I remember in russia there was a shopping mall only party members were privy to. If we compare real world systems, capitalism produces more wealth and equality than any other, and the poor benefit the most.

[CavemanSynthesizer]

Except as capitalism becomes more "pure" in the United States the corporations continue to look for ways to increase their profitability. A market can only expand to the extent that there are people to consume your product. If the consumer base does not expand you are forced to cannibalize society by lowering wages, fighting against worker protections, exporting jobs and not paying taxes.

[CavemanSynthesizer]

Americas free-market system is the purest it has been since the 1930's. The funny thing about "pure" capitalism is that the capitalists don't want to have a competitive playing field so they do everything they can to keep their advantages including (but not limited to) lobbying against democratic public initiatives and asserting their "rights" as corporations above our rights as citizens.

[laborwage]

Corporate lobbying is not a measure that is making our economy more free, rather it is making it less free. And our economy was the most free at the turn of the century (not this last one but the 1900's). Also, Worker protections (unions), minimum wage laws, and job retention quotas hurt the unskilled poor the most.

[laborwage]

Thanks for the insults you guys...made a real good point; I am a dick. To take issue with most of these comments is not in my interest, however, I do want to comment on something abuaroberts said. "you know nothing of socialism." I am from the former USSR. Where did you grow up?

[squibmalik]

so what? so could still live in the former USSR and be a ignorant fool, and you can even live on a remote island and study socialism for years

doesnt make a difference where ur from, ur comments clearly prove you no nothing of socialism

"stalin was a socialist"

LMFAO

[squibmalik]

why do people refer to stalin and russia as socialist?? its the most stupid thing ive ever heard of

ever hear of the NEP?? - 1 of the first things stalin pushed through when he got in?

morons plain and simple

trying to be clever and have absolutly no account of history whatsoever

[abuaroberts]

what latter governments are more efficient than socialism? efficient at what? creating wealth for an oligarchich minority? "as long as industrial feudalism prevails over industrial democracy, politics will continue to be the shadow cast by business over society"- The biggest oppressor is capitalism, 8 million ppl a year die of preventable/curable diseases thanks to the world free market system This is todays holocaust and people like you justify it and condone it. TWAT

[abuaroberts]

Everywhere throughout Europe and other developed nations round the globe have developed thanks to sate-led planning or regulation of free market forces. ANd before you open it again NO the tiger economies are not a free market miracle-they were heavily protectionist and state-led in many ways.If you want an example of free market development look at what happened to argentina at the turn of the century. Yuo mindless Brainwashed Dick

[abuaroberts]

laborwage. You know nothing of socialism, so shut it! True socialism (in its initial stages) is direct democratic citizen participation (decentralised) coupled with a centralised plan for wealth distribution that complements such participation.Before wrting socialism off you should stop analysising it within the south korean context and start looking at the contribution it has made to welfare everywhere round the world. apart from the states, the ultimate conservative nation

[jordan11231123]

damn

that sound good and there aint even a beat

[lawza3]

fuck jewish people

[sonofnun]

fuck your racist views

[CentipedeCentral]

Dear SonofNun, you seem influential how about a protest against Arab on Black genocide in Sudan, where millions have perished? How about a protest against ongoing slavery in the Arab world?

[sonofnun]

now your views are more clear, here i thought you were questioning the strength of blacks in contemporary movements against oppression but it turns out you're racist against arabs.

i stand in solidarity with oppressed people in their fight against oppression. i'm sure you can find just about any permutation of one ethnicity/religious/racial group being oppressed in one country/time period that has been or become the oppressed in another. the roots are material/economic.

[laborwage]

Socialists top the lists of oppressors in the 20th century. Stalin and Mao ring a bell?

[sonofnun]

russia (from stalin on) and china were no more socialist than america is democratic.

the defining characteristic of socialism is workers in control of the state. in russia the white amy's counter revolution decimated the small working class and stalin finished it off by killing the remaining revolutionaries. a large bureaucracy oppressing the working class was more akin to state-capitalism, not socialism

[sonofnun]

and as for mao, the working class did not take power in china, same thing for cuba.

you can call yourself anything you want but if you don't live up to it in practice the name doesn't fit.

american officials know none of these countries fit the definition of socialist but they know that it's better for their propaganda if they show these countries as an example to discourage interest in it.

[laborwage]

Any attempt at socialism inevitibly trends toward centralized control of power. This is a simple economic and political principal, available in most introductory economic texts. These latter governments are also more efficient than pure socialism, again reinforcing their inevitability.

[squibmalik]

stalin was a socialist?? hahaha u dick

do you any account of history

brain washed cunt

[CentipedeCentral]

Explain why you don't see blacks protesting against the ongoing anti-black genocide in Sudan.

[sonofnun]

i saw plenty blacks protesting the murder of shawn bell in nyc and plenty against the new president of guinea in dc.

if you want an answer to your question you should look at the leadership of the organizations at the forefront of that movement.

[paracite]

Is this an ISO protest?

[sonofnun]

no it was at the pro-Lebanon protest in dc back in august

[paracite]

Is this an ISO protest?

[ahmedwaq]

Long Live Palestine .. and that rapper is the best .. hope there r more of him in this world .. Live Free or Die Like a Tree

[laborwage]

This guy is retarded...he should try a socialist country on for size for a while...something like North Korea

[KickinStatues]

Yeah, the way people are forced to work long hours for very little pay in NK sucks... kind of like it does here in the US you ignorant dick. Go read a book!

[laborwage]

Your concept of 'very little pay' is a little skewed. North Korea's People are essentially starving every couple of years, while the poor in America have obesity as their primary public health concern. Also, in NK, you are forced to work. In USA, it's a choice. Oh and you called me an ignorant dick and recommended I peruse some literature. Exactly which books did you have in mind?

[ilkcans]

may God bless you and alow you to have victory in ur mission my freind ur loyaltys will always be known on our lands peace be to u where ever you may be.

[sonofnun]

no, i'm a revolutionary socialist.

[RisingTempest14]

is he muslim?

[ReyMlife]

He's not Muslim , I'm Palestinian , and not all Palestinians are muslims there are alot of christians , i'm christian .... Muslims and Christians are in realy good relations in Palestine , we have the same struggle ... Free Palestine and Lebanon

[programmusic]

I fail to see " a policy of extrmination" the palestinian population is growing so quickly. What policy of extermination?

[sonofnun]

to programmusic - a policy of extermination as their policy of violence and destruction both physical and economic - killing people and infrastructure. extermination of hope and resistance, extermination as expulsion, extermination as apartheid forever relegating the people to second class citizenship.

[alleywants]

PEACE excellent!

[hijodechago]

much respect to my brother son of nun. free palestine to the zionists time is running out bitches...

[yashar714]

[derron22]
