Why has Communism failed everywhere ? A chance for commies to explain

[notyoueither]

Thinking of two vocal commies.

When he works, che makes a considerable amount of money. Yes, he always returns to complain about having to sell CDs when things tank and finances grow tight. The question I have to ask is why he didn't prepare for it?

Then there's aggy. dear, sweet aggy. He wouldn't starve if the cow were dragged off his table. He'd still feast on the pig. He is in the university system in Canada. It certainly isn't a horn of plenty, but nobody ever starved teaching uni at UofT either.

These are your champions. Neither really has a clue what it is to be truely down and out and at the mercy of the man. Nor do I. Who here does? I detect there might be a couple of them, but the most vocal of the commies are not them.

Hands up how many commies are on community dialup access (freenet)?

I fail to see your point. We live in a capitalist society and thus have to survive in it. Some of us do relatively well in it, but we can acknowledge it for what it is in terms of materialism. However having broadband is very useful compared to the alternatives. I promise you in a communist society there will be broadband for all!

Peoiple in New York would have more allies, and so would people in Alberta?

False promises and no Gods, or what was that saying?

Is that like everyone will have a servicable automobile?

Again this notion that their political beliefs preclude them from being able to lead a normal existence. Again, we live in a capitalist system and have to survive within it. Otherwise we'd starve. Che does what he can to get by. Aggy, a lecturer? It's hardly selling his soul to corporate satan is it? It pays him a living and he gets job satisfaction. Which is something we strive for.

What the hell are you on about now? I see no bearing of those two sentences on what I have said...

Automobiles? We need to move away from those to a feasible mass transit alternative...

Ermmm, yes. Who is giving a lift to whom this weekend, PH?

And here I always thought that communism was supposed to spring from the downtroddeness of the... what was it? Working class? Yes, i think that was it. Wasn't that it?

Ahh. Dense as a cliff in Dover as always.

[Provost Harrison]

Lenin was a lawyer by background. Your point?

Myself, I may have done alright educationally but I am from a working class background and know the situation.

What? Just because you speak in riddles there is no need to be so f**king rude or I am ending this conversation now.

[notyoueither]

Lenin didn't actually do a very good job for the lower classes if effect is measured over time, did he?

In fact, I would say he was a social worker with no supervision and with destructive power at his disposal.

Then there's that whole thing of leaving Stalin behind as a sort of poison pill. What was that all about?

Awww, PH, don't go away hurt and all. I simply commented on the lack of sharpness that would not recognise that he had been the ride for many people on many journeys, and go 'who, me?'

See, you speak words but the combination makes next to no sense...
