@tomthefunky thank you for standing up against ignorant bastards who claim to know the facets of communism but really only know what liberal professors and left-wing extremists tell them... It's sad to think that communism is even a slight possibility in the minds of some, when clearly history has showed us time and time again the vile fruits of communism. What people don't understand is that a Joseph Stalin and a Mao Zedong are only allowed power through the communist system.
so the hel what? you think thers a differnce in the hammer and sickle is any worse than even the american fag...flag? get your head outta your ass. a shirt bugs you THAT much? lame.
@Mymetallicpotato: You think a hammer and sickle is "nice"? How about a swatztika? You think that's nice too? Do you have any idea how many innocent people were murdered by the creators of that symbol, you stupid fucking idiot?
@someone6878: No, little boy, you can't make the comparison. The Soviets attempt at collectivized farming resulted in the starvation of an estimated 30 million Russian peasants. The Siberian Gulag was constructed to imprison the educated and anyone who appeared to sympathize with the western values of liberalism that you and I take for granted. Communism was the mother of all tyrannies, the likes of which was never seen before. I know some Russians who'd smack you for talking such nonsense.
@tomthefunky communism has nothing to do with starving peasants, evil people who, just so happen to, beilieve in communism are the ones that do awful things like that. hitler was christian, does that make you condemmn christianity as a whole?
@someone6878: You are not a politically educated person. "Collectivization" is a term used to describe the process of transfering private ownership into the hands of the state. It is the definition of communism. The Soviets violently confiscated all private land from farmers and mass starvation ensued. The exact same thing took place in China in the late forties and the numbers of deaths were worse!!
Don't ever fucking compare America's mistakes to what took place under that hideous ideology
@tomthefunky they were not following true communism, in comunism, everything is owned by everyone. people like stalin didn't practice true communsim. but you know what? im tired of arguing with you, you can stay in the dark for all i care you redneck. fuck you and your opinion. go read a fucking book, good bye
@tomthefunky it doesn't necessarily mean "state." it means the goods and means of production are shared. look up what socialism and communism REALLY mean, and don't just give the bullshit Fox News version. China and the USSR aren't communist and never were. they were state capitalist
@wbhyatt: You are a fucking teenager. I was studying politics when your mother was jerking your father off in the backseat of his Toyota. Don't lecture me about politics, son. I'll run over you like a kitten on a fucking highway.
anyway, i agree with you people, pitchfork has helped me discover alot of amazing bands, including mr, Wayne and the lips, but their reviews are very biased.
which is a music review, but if it aint radiohead (and radiohead is very, very talented) then its usually a free for all.
"For fucks sake let music just be music and if you like it there is no shame there is no glory. if you like music listen to it and if you deprive yourself of listening to some music because you think its not cool, ahh, youre missing out, that'd be your loss."
Pitchfork can't go to bed at night unless it give a really great album a low rating. But unfortunately, I check the website everyday. It's a bad habit.
@Swiftlygothedays AHHH me too. I've got to stop. I don't even bother with the album reviews anymore, but... the news part is very informative. I try to separate myself from anything hipster- but Pitchfork- it's just addictive. Sometimes I hate myself for reading some of those stuck up articles, but then I just embrace it. Whatever. :/
