160 some years later, me, the proletariat, sits in a nice air conditioned house, typing on my computer with cell phone by side, on my confortable chair watching about 90 different channels of TV. Drinking my easily acquired beer and food from the always stocked grociery store, and able to determine my own pay and place in society by choice, wise decision and the ammount of effort I put forth. Ah, the plight of the proletariat makes a kings life look like a hellish existance.

24,000 children die each day due to poverty. Number of children in the world 2.2 billion, number in poverty 1 billion (every second child) In 2005, the wealthiest 20% of the world accounted for 76.6% of total private consumption.

12 percent of the world’s population uses 85 percent of its water, these 12 percent do not live in the Third World. Global priorities in spending in 1998. Cosmetics in the U.S. 8 billion, petfood in us+euro 17, cigarettes in eur 50, military spending in theVworld 780

compare that to what was estimated as additional costs to achieve universal access to basic social services in all developing countries:basic education for all 6 bill, water and sanitation for 9bill, reproductive health for all womyn 12bil, basic health and nutrition 13bil

We have enough resources in the world for all be self sufficient. We do not need to decimate countries through war, debt or other authoritarian intervention. The problem is that huge hierarchical economic structures such as capitalism do not allow for the interest of all humanity to be pursue. This leaves only the desires of the few,whatever that might be, as the trajectory of production and even consumption. Along with that we inhearet the culture that is built around alianated relationships.

I find this quite disturbing.

Communism is the perfect state of mankind... if you know the theory of material determinism.. you will see that Marx predicted this era of capitalism (neoliberalism) will be an antecessor for the final era of total human self-knowledge.. the era of communism... long live communism, and salutes for those who try to accelerate the process with no good results (Ussr specificly) .. they maybe did it too earlier and peoplewas not mentally prepared for the final state of society

Y'all know that the left wing really is the wrong path while those who claim to be right wing don't really follow the right path.

@stamnion Yeah and my boss thinks that killing puppies is wrong just like me :D Nah in reality I think Communism as something that works in a small scale, but we in the end need a little bit of Capitalism to mix with socialism. Well that's more of a compromise. I'm more of a capitalist although I am left wing :P

[stamnion]

@LogicalThinker667 does not work? LOL!! That's your boss's idea too! think about that!

@Mirrorswitchillusion

the class contradictions disappear, if capital is taken away from the hands of the few

In all times , in all History , in nature , it's the strongest that rules and exploits the weak .

Sure we can decide to be strong and help others , giving more rights , shelter , wage , less work , .... but you can never privilege someone or a class in a society , whatever this class is . In all ways either this privileged one will become the strongest and do all over again the same stupid ''megalomaniac'' mistakes , or he will remain weak and cannot rule or do any good to his society

@LogicalThinker667 How cliched can you get??

I saw this years ago on Free Speech TV and absolutely loved it. Thank you so much for putting it up here so I could see it again.
