sad thoughts on poly posters

The Swedes are ruled out of contention for Abba.

/Edit. And I suck at spleing.

If it is, then it's because they're building it from the ground up. They lost a hell of a lot by undergoing their revolution. Would have been better if they could have gone from being authoritarian collectivist to democratic collectivist instead of going to anarcho-capitalist and moving from there...

They will find their way. The masses often defy the pundits when given thier will. The Americans did.

How long will they have to pay for it, though? It's been a decade and their living standards are still in the crapper. Lenin managed to piece the country back together in half that time...

[KrazyHorse]

Holy ****. We've just posted 4 pages of crap...

The point, my dear frog, is not the difference between Pol Pot and Castro. It is between Kennedy and Stalin.

Your choice. I prefer Kennedy and even Reagan, thank you very much.

Is anyone here arguing otherwise?

re citations of the statements of other posters. Sorry, not accepted as sources. Would you accept my word on anything?

As for the Kennedy-Stalin thing... I thought that was the point of the last 3 pages. Silly me.

Not Kennedy vs. Stalin, US vs. USSR. Big difference.

Like I said: Kennedy as a US citizen vs. Satlin as a Soviet: advantage Kennedy

Kennedy vs. Stalin as a Vietnamese peasant: deuce

Not much longer. Freedom does not take too long to sort itself out.

It will not be smooth, but people, ordinary people, will become affluent before very long. Then they're hooked!

No pushing back that crack once it's smoked!

[KrazyHorse]

Hah. Affluent. They(and we) could be more affluent. That's demonstrated by the gap between median and mean incomes...

[KrazyHorse]

Which is currently the greatest it's been since the Depression, IIRC. It's almost revolution time...

[notyoueither]

Except the fat cats are busy crashing down towards you prols.

[KrazyHorse]

The proles will eventually come out on top. The fat cats need them. They don't need the fat cats.

[notyoueither]

Ohhh us fat cats are always needed.

You wouldn't have a target if it weren't so.
