    You think you consider what other people say? I really don't think so. You are acting like a hypocrite.. you always put other people down for their views. And I already got my views, so I don't need to adopt yours as my own. Now that would just be plain stupid.

    Yawn. Really Fez, do you think anything you say has credibility here? You've already proved yourself even to the right-wingers on poly to be nothing more than a closed-minded lamb following its shepard
    It has a **** load more credibility than any of the nonsense you type up.

      Does that mean Engles would not be allowed to join Solidarity if he was alive today?
      Technically, Fred didn't own the business, he just ran it for his family. Also consider that while he worked there, neither he nor Marx was a member of an organization (though Marx may have later joined the 1st Interational). Later Engels sold his share of the business (after he inherited I suppose) and used the money to help support Marx's family as well as himself.

      Anyway, just because you aren't allowed to be part of an organization doesn't mean you can't give it money and write on your own.

        Apparently Fez got what he wanted by posting worthless trolls and emotional insults that he claims are valid arguments -- he got plenty of attention from others.

        A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

          Communism isn't an ethics of poverty nor of ascetism. Actually, one of the hopes of communism is that everybody can afford a comfortable and enjoyable way of life. I don't see any problem with doing so in the capitalist society if we can afford it.
          So what's wrong with the capitalists doing so in a capitalist society if they can afford it?

                        No, they didn't. I was making a point that capitalists were not "evil oppressors"

                          Indeed, but left unhindered, like eutrophication in a pond, it will end up destroying not only itself, but hurting others, so capitalism, after a point does end up becoming "oppressive", but that point is extreme and reasonable safeguards prevent that, and keep economies at maximum efficiency and productivity.

                          By the way, nice to see I'm sig material!

                            I'm not talking about capitalism, but capitalists. I agree on the safeguards thing (though not necessarily how many and which ones), but I'm saying that being rich and such doesn't mean you oppress the "lower classes".

                            Oh, and I forget what the quote was about, but if I got rid of it, it would be gone

                              Dont worry about it, but I pm'd you about the argument, its a matter of principle thing, i cant let such things go unanswered, but you are free to keep the line there.

                              Bill Gates isnt oppressing me, but Microsoft sure as hell is (spyware, NSA backdoors etc), I hold nothing against individuals.

                                I have been convinced the Iraqi war was a HUGE BAD THING, and that clinton was kind of responsible for things today, etc etc....

                                You on the other hand have admitted to not even considering other views

                                It has a **** load more credibility than any of the nonsense you type up.
                                Really? I know A LOT of people who would disagree with you.....Even right-wingers
