    May Day is such a filthy tradition.

    Down with capitalism, imperialism, and bigotry!
    Three words that have nothing to do with each other.

    Down with communism and its filthy antics.
    For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

          Sava, bull. I know exactly what I am talking about. Capitalism means freedom.

                      And Nazi fascism meant freedom too - for Hitler.

                        Please Fez, linking capitalism to bigotry is very discussable, but if you deny any link between capitalism and imperialism, you don't know squat about the politics and economics of the end of the 19th & the beginning of the 20th century...

                          You people are full of it. Plain and simple.

                          No it is not discussable. It is a fact. Capitalism = freedom.

                          And Nazi fascism meant freedom too - for Hitler.
                          Hitler was a leftist.

                            Perhaps he's ignorant of working conditions before WW2. 20 hour days, child labor, unsafe conditions... all in the name of profit. In fact, socially minded presidents like Teddy and FDR instituted such great improvements to this country. But Fez wants to return to the good old days when trusts and tycoons effectively ruled the country.

                              Hurray for the 8-hour day! Hurray for the right to organize! Hurray for the end of child labor! Hurray for safer working conditions! Hurray for the minum wage! Hurray for Social Security! Hurray for Universal Medical Care . . . oh wait, we Americans don't have that one . . . YET!



                              Eight hours for work!
                              Eight hours for sleep!
                              And eight hours for what we will!

                              Let us remember our fallen comrades who made these victories possible and gave us all a better life.

                              For once (well not really once) I agree with you wholeheartedly and completely
