Ad for the new Socialist Worker website

[shinobi38]

The SWP believe not only in the Dictorship of the 'Proletariat' but Lenin's (even more Totalitarian) version of it. Real Communism is autonomous and Libertarian, with the people and not the Party owning and controlling the means of production.

[Mellow3d]

lol, SWP advertising....

[3254228]

How many months a year do I labour for nothing

As a slave providing for the underclass of sponging vermin?

Isn’t the world dying due to our over population?

So why encourage the breeding of the most worthless of our creations?

And we pay for their existence ! Those who ruin our lives,

We’re so pathetic that we stand by & watch as our nation dies,

Big up the welfare state & all you produce!!

Otherwise Jeremy & Trisha would not be of use.

[franzfaramir]

awesome website. keep up the good work.

[GrumpSkull]

Left right left right. Both extremes lead to dictatorships. Self reliance is the only discipline to strive for.

[The86416]

'Socialist Worker' ????

Oxymoron. With the accent on the last two syllables.

Saloth Sar admiring filth.

[fringeailments]

@The86416 i'm a socialist, i work full time as a chef and part time as a care worker. fuck off and die you right wing wanker.

[The86416]

@fringeailments Ah, the usual rhetoric of the socialist brigade. Tell me great sage, are you happy to be working in this capitalist society, or would you prefer to be part of the agrarian society of the Khmer Rouge, surely the 'purest' left wing government the world has ever seen?

FYI, I despise all politicians equally (with one or two exceptions).

[The86416]

@fringeailments ps I see that you admire Noam Chomsky. Perhaps you are aware of the fate of Malcolm Caldwell, another Chomsky fan?

Google it.

By the way, I'm not a 'right wing wanker'. They are ALL crap and pocket-dipping scum. Just because I despise the left, doesn't make me of the right now does it? But you lefties can never get to grips with that notion can yer?

The New World Order is on its way, and you my friend are an unwitting part of it. Be afraid.

[arzoyan]

The evolution of recent human history has been dominated by minority control over the majority, the rulers have come up with nessesary illusion for compliance and servitude of the many, Science and technology has created a world of plenty, but the market mechanism is about artificial scarcity to perpetuate poverty and exploitation in a modality of war,enviornmental destructions,animal cruelty and so on . The new paradigm is sharing the Earth for our collective needs and wellbeing

[Glenn666]

Which socialist country isn't falling apart economically or killing it's own people?

[Torquemadia]

@Glenn666 Sweden, Norway, Denmark, could have included France until they elected a right winger and the country went down the pan.

[Glenn666]

@Torquemadia I'll stick to the country were I don't pay for the drug rehabilitation centers that don't work, I'll stick to the country that actually had universal healthcare, until Obama showed up to collapse the system. two words, Cloward and Piven. Look em up

[Torquemadia]

@Glenn666

You seem to be talking about the United States, but that particular nation has never had universal healthcare, you do realise that such economic powerhouses as Colombia, Costa Rica and even the United Arab Emirates have better healthcare systems right?

[Glenn666]

@Torquemadia Yeah, that's not normal, thank Obama for crippling the shit out of us. 5 years ago you could have nothing in your pockets and recieve the best healthcare the world had to offer in the United States, now we can't even fix a road or teach ourselves our damn history.

[Torquemadia]

@Glenn666

Umm no, the US has had the worst healthcare system in the western world for quite some time now, even back when Clinton was in office.

You know what goes on in your own country right?

[Glenn666]

@Torquemadia It was better than the rest of the world before the lawyers and the feds took over. That's what happened, don't you know that was going on? Lawyers suing doctors to bankruptcy is what is crippling the healthcare system today and Obama just lets his lawyer friends do whatever the fuck they want, they aren't touched in any legislation passed....And I don't think "lawyer reform" exists in Obamatalk.

[Torquemadia]

@Glenn666

Nope, it really never was. It's always been attrocious, scoring worse than some third world nations.

It's also fairly obvious that small things such as facts and objectivity are not within your grasp so I will leave you to your closeted USA #1 republican attitude ( I bet you thought Bush was great) leaving you with one thought, you do realise that, whilst the US is one of the better countries to live in in the world, that the best country in the world is, in fact, Finland.

[Glenn666]

@Torquemadia It was the best in the world, the friendliest and among the cheapeast, when it started changing I don't know exactly, its beside the point. You need to understand I'm not a republican, democrat or even speaking to you about politics. Look up cloward and piven. It's collapsing the system from inside to lead into world socialism or at least chaos leaving the once great imperiliast nation in anarchy. I hated Bush after 2004. Him and Obama have the same amount of despise IMO.

[Glenn666]

@Glenn666 You know what? Your a very intelligent person in my opinion and believe me when I say what I believe. You need to question the existence of God.

[samwilson3d]

Wow Coca Cola and Exxon aren't in favor of socialism? Could it be because socialism is for those who have given up hope of succeeding on their own and are waiting for their government to redistribute the wealth?

If we held a contest to see who would win $1000 and you won and then the losers wanted to split the money evenly that would be like socialism. "I'm a loser so let's split everything evenly"

Go work hard to become a winner instead, this is America.

(unless you are from somewhere else)

[PrisonerNumber9653]

@samwilson3d This demonstrates the true illness of capitalism, perfectly. if you're in poverty, you're a loser--even if you're a child, even if you're working two jobs desperately trying to get out of the trap of poverty. Meanwhile, the "winners" who hoard wealth by screwing others, and ignoring the suffering of others.

You have it backwards, my friend. This IS about hope--hope of a better world for ALL, not just selfishly concerning oneself ONLY with your own pocketbook.

[socialistgumby]

@stinkapinka

Right because revolution isn't in each article and isn't explained in the 2 minute ad video we are just not in favor of it....

[Alexsuper15]

Well pratical Socialism will be more production for all. In true capitalism you dont have time even to jerk off. Thanks to socialism you have the 8 hour maximun. Mixed economy FTW!!!.

[MilanTbay]

@Alexsuper15 If you think about how much work can be fully automated with todays technology and how many 'jobs' offer nothing to society, work will be a whole lot less than that.

Great comments below about the right as well.

True socialism can't use force on the people since it is the people.

Peace

[dangolingo]

China has a Socialist system already working, you can apply for citizenship through the Chinese Embassy. You will be happier in China

[Fishdogpigsquirrel]

Ah. Gotta love the ignorant trolls. China is communist jack ass. Thats the problem with most Americans. Communism IS NOT Socialism. People have different ideals. Don't agree with them? Okay but I don't want to hear it.

[TreblePop]

The problem with most people in Europe is that they're obnoxious self-righteous c,unts who feel superior by slamming Americans.

[Fishdogpigsquirrel]

They do shit like that everywhere mate.

[utrapzab]

wow how kettle and pot - yu arrogant fucks claim you won ww2 - you fucking funded it both sides, yous cunts caused the world wide credit crunch, yous cunts believe in creation science and it IS taught in many states - arrogant and self righteous? the only difference that you have from that is that you are all fat bastards into the bargain, salm americans? no were jus embarrased that you lot were europes 'gift' to america

[TreblePop]

@utrap -

Rant incoherently much?  lol

[AntidoteY]

"Socialism with Chinese Characteristics" is not what it really sounds like...

In fact, the cutthroat capitalist economy of China today has less regulation than in the U.S., (that's right, the Chinese Communist Party is economically to the right of most moderate Republicans.) and workers are treated like trash.

[StrayGator]

The Chinese are Marxists. They realise you have to go through capitalism to get to socialism. Its called progress.

[jeabo0adhd]

Workers are workers because that is what they do best. If they where able to manage a business, then they would.

So, if the workers own the nation, then either they will learn or the same, corrupt, greedy bourgeoisie will take over again.

How was/is Stalin, Kim Jong Il, or Hugo Chavez different from anyone we have today? They were/are bourgeoisie.

Obama is a bourgeoisie.

[BeantownJim]

stop paying taxes stop buying goods shut this country down that will end all this

[harlyd007]

Fuck Obama and his socialist agenda!

[DaveOJ]

What exactly do you think Socialism is?

[mackjsm]

I'm with ya!! If they (the obamas) want a fucking revolution, lock and load.. I'm ready.. I'm for America not these assholes..

[JBRinjersey]

Hey Oboma assholes:

┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐

[Dillon290593]

im more of a facist myself

[JBRinjersey]

Look: 20 million in the Soviet Union 65 million in the People's Republic of China 1 million in Vietnam 2 million in North Korea 2 million in Cambodia 1 million in the Communist states of Eastern Europe 150,000 in Latin America 1.7 million in Africa 1.5 million in Afghanistan 10,000 deaths resulting from actions of communist parties not in power (assassinations etc) Clearly Socialists can only keep power by force, intimidation, and murder!

[JBRinjersey]

And this is only off the top of my head- there are hundreds of millions more!

[wot2wot2]

none of those countries are socialist ,they all run their affairs on a state capitalist economy, none of the workers in those counties own the means of production, therefore not socialist workers republics.

[JBRinjersey]

Bullshit- they were all socialist. All the means of production were owned by the state and the state was the socialist workers!

[wot2wot2]

rubbish! the working class in russia were exploited by the state crapitalist hierachy.

marxism is the only democratic system that does without the state altogether along with your beloved class system and national borders.

[JBRinjersey]

Your little imaginary socialist scumbag utopia totally misses human nature- that reward and greed are what move mankind forward. In your little marxist shit system nobody would work, society would stagnate and die. Simply put- socialism and socialists are Darwinian failures!

[mackjsm]

There are a lot of commies here.. you can tell they gave you a minus review.. I agree with you100%! I hate these sorry ass motherfuckers...

[JBRinjersey]

Bull- you mean exploited by the state socialist hierachy that treats people like property instead of respecting individual rights!

[Alexsuper15]

Wtf???' I live in Latin America and the death squads and state terrorism was from the right wing goverments.!!!!!!! not from the liberation armys!!!

[raccoonman14]

@Alexsuper15 YEAH!!...tupamaros!

[JBRinjersey]

Socialism is garbage on the trashheap of history! Get with the times people! When people are not rewarded for their hard work they all sit on their lazy asses and do nothing- Society crumbles, research dies, morality melts away!

[wot2wot2]

crapitalism is garbage, endless war and famine . your lucky you've never experienced war, your the generation of spoilt greedy people who contributed nothing to society. al qeada are quite sweet compared to your ilk.

cunt

[JBRinjersey]

Your a pathetic child- face it Thatcher was great for the UK- you are just a lazy good for nothing loser who is looking for a handout from those who work! Pussy

[wot2wot2]

thatcher was great for uk as john gotti was great for new york. in fact there are groups on facebook already getting ready for the best party ever! maggie thatchers death after party. just keep on pay your misely tax and stop moaning you fucking gangster. fat greedy boy

[JBRinjersey]

You're a truely sick fuck- your daddy didn't give a lolly-pop when you were a baby? Or were you born the sick fuck that you sound? Anyone who has a party on someone elses death is no better than Jeffrey Dahmer.

[wot2wot2]

its a shame you wasn,t in the trade center that day , it might have knocked a little sense in you

[JBRinjersey]

I bet you socialist scumbags were there with the terrorists- I think those little raghead son of a bitches are a lot better then you fucking reds- at least they work for a living and don't demand handouts from those of us who work!

[wot2wot2]

i actually know a m.d. of a very well known van hire company who unlike you admits crapitalism is a terrible system that is ruining the planet but it makes him wealthy ,when you just try to dress it up like the typical snake oil seller.

" the way to crush the bourgeois is to grind them between millstones of taxation and inflation" lenin.

pay your tax stop moaning and get youself a girlfriend fat boy

[JBRinjersey]

Endless war and famine- what do you call what Stalin did during his purges- millions of Russians died thanks to your socialist icon. Look at Cuba- how many people died there thanks to your fucking Castro?! History is full of socialist retards like yourself who mindlessly follow Marx because you are too lazy or ignorant to realize that socialism is the most destructive governmental force ever devised! Now get off your lazy ass and make yourself useful for a change!!!

[wot2wot2]

it was the crapitalist west that stalin was a by- product of western capitalism the hate machine that is the free market.

your very own united state of piss has embarked on a national bail out of your greedy bastard institution that would make the old ussr polit -bureaux blush

[JBRinjersey]

Are fucking nuts? Stalin had nothing to do with western capitalism- if he was he wouldn't have been a murdering bastard that he was. He had a mental disease - and it's called socialism. Your second point I'd have to agree with- Obama is a fucking retart socialist too. And yes, he is pissing away all our hard-earned money. Where is Lee Harvey Oswald now that we need him!!!!

[wot2wot2]

i done the math about 2 billion people have died in the last 3oo years in crapitalist wars and slavery this figure does not include half of that killed through dieing in the workplace or related illnesses. your beloved crapitalist system is vile to the bone ,it makes the old master and slave epoch look like the toga party in animal house.

i describe crapitalists in that film " flight of the phoenix " the man who steals the water rations at night whilst every one is sleeping. theiving fat pigs

[JBRinjersey]

You clearly do not have a grasp on reality. The US is the first republic form of democracy and capitalism. You are including absolute/constitutional monarchys which are not true capitalist systems (i.e. - where each individual can work and find happiness for themselves without the shackles of an all powerful dominating heathen government) at least until Thatcher took over the UK- but you babies are back to socialism again because you could not be trusted with your own money!

[wot2wot2]

freedom in crapitalist america remains about the same as it was in the ancient greek republics; freedom of the slave owner. ive been to the states ive seen the poverty in america widespread and disgusting. a heartless nation

[JBRinjersey]

The greek republics were pure democracy- one person (landed male) one vote. The US is a Republic where even the minorities rights cannot be trampled on! - You never have been to a truely poverty stricken country have you? Even been to Haiti or Kenya? Even the poorest of the poor in the US have the opportunity to learn, have healthcare, grow into anything they want. That's freedom boy. The opportunity, not the right off... the opportunity to be and grow as you wish!! Socialism destroys this.

[wot2wot2]

haiti and kenya are free market economies haiti in the eighteenth century san domingo (haiti)was the richest country on earth then plundered to death by imperialism ( strong arm of crapitalism).

the idea of opportunity is a farce there are still few alloted places just like the old fuedel systems but without the celestral nonsense, it still remains that to have crapitalism you must have the majority bulk of an exploited class.

[Sponxic]

I remember an old saying "The early bird gets the worm."

Now it's, "The early bird gets the worm and then the government has to take the worm away and distribute it to other birds who were too lazy to get up in the morning to get it themselves"

So sad

[frank2597]

In a higher phase of communist society... only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be fully left behind and society inscribe on its banners

: from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.

[MistAoI264]

i just attended an ISO lecture and really enjoyed it. i plan on becoming an ISO member very soon.

[valemmons]

yeah so i can work my ass off while others sit home on their ass and do nothing!!! The ones that are already on welfare have it better than we worker bees...healthcare, daycare, rent, food....why should they work?

[Sponxic]

That's telling them. Socialism is destructive

[badkarma52]

go right ahead and ignore history. socialism has FAILED because it takes away individual incentive to work hard and improve your life.

[aidenasher]

Sad Sad Website..

[Grebryspell]

"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions." --Adolf Hitler

[dkraemer3]

Yes, let me donate money to a cause that wants to take more of the money I work for ad give it to those who didn't earn it.

Socialism is a philosophy based on failure. You are too pathetic to make your own way in life, so you want the government to take money I work for and give it to those who don't.

No matter how hard I work, I am entitled not to what I can earn, but only as much as me neighbor has.

[bucs2921]

Sorry, lefties...

Socialism will NEVER prevail in this nation. There are too many of us who love this country to ever allow that to happen.

geeze

[SSGTVDOG]

Socialism, the new buzz word for Fuedalism. The Elites control the working class, the working class funds it all. Time to kill off the poor. Well done Change you will be forced to believe in.

Welcome to the New World Order

[Trojanponey]

These are dark, dark days indeed.

[rugger8541]

Well done comrades! hey how bout some exclusive interviews from Russia or Cuba. lets get the inside view on how Socialism is viewed by those who actually endured it? or would that be bad?

[andythehun08]

socialism(WHAT A LOAD OF TOSH)those who can be bothered, supporting those who cant be bothered,

[sweetpotos]

I read this site every day. Socialist Worker is a truly excellent news source, and the only genuine and consistent left-wing voice in America.

Also, I highly recommend the bimonthly journal "International Socialist Review" put out by the ISO (the same group which does Socialist Worker). I subscribed to it a few months back and it is a wonderful journal, full of great articles on current and past struggles of the working class, and even Marxist theory.

[redkevin47]

I wish I could have attended Socialism 2008. I went in '07 and it was terriffic. Alan Maas gave a really insightful speech at the end last year. Maybe his talk this year is available on mp3. The website looks good.

[falcons12345]

Well done, i will have to visit the site

[bynot1]

well done comrades. from the swp wigan england

[WhatCrass]

Keep up the good work comrades!

from the Socialist Party USA

[monsteronacid]

Great News!

[adotoa]

It's really encouraging to see the Socialist Worker growing in circulation and it's good to see the website be expanded.

[macy725]

were ever socialism has been tried it has failed, you liberal radicals should remember that. (every dollar the government gives to someone has to be taken away from someone else)

[djtheepoch]

Now if we could just get a decent daily radio show, with on demand streams.

[Xproletariatx]

That looks nice. Are you all ISO members?

[Mrgumby1]

maybe...

[dirtyboypdx]

Yea, hopefully we'll have the best Socialist website in the US after the improvements!

[vcwills]

This will be sweet!

[Mrgumby1]

I am really excited about this website. This video looks great. Go comrades!

[r4ttl3]

can't wait that is :)

[r4ttl3]

can wait.

[s1rgog]

Looks good.

[rdsathene]

Looking good, and we know that it will be the best information available. Hope that you stuck with open source stuff, like the old site.

[PixelFool]

Wow - the new design is a huge improvement! I can't wait for it to go live! Great video as well, it's really bizarre seeing a well produced video talking about things most of my friends have never heard of. Love it :D

[redavian]

sweet video folks. I am hella excited 'bout it.

[n8s2cool]

Wow, the new layout looks beautiful, can't wait till it goes live

[nancywelch63]

Really terrific!

[rightsaiddave]

Wow, this is great! Socialist Worker always delivers such an incisive analysis, and now it'll be updated more and have a better website? I'll never do work at work again! ;-)

[jokerswildnyc]

GOod job Brian! Exciting!

[skb683]

Can't wait for the new site! Looks great so far!

[frederfredersen23]

Cool video, cool website

[hagredan]

Quite nice, I'll be looking forward to the new website.

[Trotskysghost]

Awesome video comrade Brian!
