"Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson
“In a democracy, I realize you don’t need to talk to the top leader to know how the country feels. When I go to a dictatorship, I only have to talk to one person and that’s the dictator, because he speaks for all the people.” - Jimmy Carter -

One reason they tore down The Wall shortly after was over the choices of contestants.

This thread is stupid. Let's talk about Karl Marx.
Both Marx and Engels used to live nearby to me in the Kentish Town and Primrose Hill districts of North London. Not that I was alive at the time, but some of my ancestors were probably contemporaries of theirs in this area.
The appalling conditions of working-class London in the 19th century helped drive the work of these theorists, and oppressive regimes were not what they had in mind when they envisaged that the contradictions of capitalism made its demise inevitable.
If I had an impossible wish, I'd probably opt for a meeting with the ghost of Uncle Karl, where we would stroll round his old stomping-grounds and discuss the history of the last 150 years, including the evolution and achievements of Capitalism, the ultimate failure of the Soviet revolution, and the development of Social Democracy.
Then I'd like to ask him some questions about the Tendency of the Rate of Profitability to Fall, because I never met a Marxist who could adequately explain it.Comment

Communism involves free love among the victimized conquered babe minions of empire.
Threadjacking, though not as good as sex, involves less goo.
It's a toss up.
