On the Brexit Front

[Danbones]

Socialism and communism are just "competition is a sin" in financial and political terms respectively.

Socialism wastes my tax dollars. To take but one small example:

I pay tax to the CBC yet watch mostly Chinese programmes online except for the odd news article for which there exist plenty of private sector alternatives to the CBC. So even when we subsidize the CBC in English and French, we end up watching unsubsidised private-sector programmes in Chinese anyway. What's the point? Like much other socialism, it's about one group trying to get every other group to subsidize it.

I don't know what you're ranting about but it's definitely not socialism.

Socialism and communism are just "competition is a sin" in financial and political terms respectively.

"Competition" in modern capitalist society is manufactured bull****, It's literally the rich watch the poor fight with each other. The equivalent of prison guards making inmates fight each other.

So the CBC is a private company?

 

[HarperCons]

Socialism doesn't mean government-owned.

So if public funding for the CBC is not socialist, what is it then?

A far rightist has shot Labour MP Jo Cox apparently was heard shouting "Britain First''


Not whole lot of attention this is getting on here considering it was a right-wing extremist.

No he wasn't. He was a mentally ill lone-wolf who had a drug problem. This senseless murder had nothing to do with ideology.

Democracy? Nonsense. Capitalism is the dictatorship of the wealthy, there is no compatibility with democracy and capitalism.

Dumbest post ever.

 

[Colpy]

lol lifetime of studying bourgeoisie history, great job. you've been fed bull**** your entire life and lapped it up unthinkingly. did you even know about operation condor?

Yes Sonny, while you got your "true facts" from....(lemme guess)...Global Research?

Now listen Dumbass, I was a Marxist years before you were even a gleam in your Daddy's eye. I read the Communist Manifesto when I was 16, and adopted it wholesale. The only reason I wasn't throwing up barricades was because nobody else I knew was crazy enough to go along.

Then I got older, and my brain stem became fully attached.

Here's some advice:

Don't assume things when you know nothing about the person you are dealing with.

Move out of Mommy's basement and experience some reality.

(I assume you're a kid.....God forbid you are actually an adult)

There are two threads on the exact same topic, please merge them.

 

[B00Mer]

It is a democracy, ladies and gentlemen, and as long as it stays that way, shooting politicians you disagree with is simply not on.

Excluding Trump... it's okay to shoot him

There are two threads on the exact same topic, please merge them.

What are you a mod, running around the forum yelling please merg

If there are two threads on the identical subject they should be merged.

Did he do it because of his religion?

 

[Curious Cdn]

You see!

This PROVES gun control is useless.

one death over fifty, eh?

Where's the evidence that he was a "right-wing extremist"?

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

Sure did.

The killing was of the sort that has become all too common in the United States, but is virtually unheard of in Britain

It's true. Someone - especially a politician - being shot in Britain is extremely unusual. This shooting death will be just one of a handful or so of shootings which will take place in Britain this year and which take place in Britain every year.

There were 8,124 gun homicides in 2014 in the US, according to the latest FBI figures.

It's also the first murder of a serving British MP since 1990, when Tory Ian Gow was killed by an IRA car bomb in Sussex.

So, it was the killing of an unarmed civilian to promote a political cause.

Good thing it wasn't terrorism.

How on Earth do you know what the man's cause is? Have you conducted an in-depth interview with him?

Bout as much as you've conducted an in-depth interview with the Orlando shooter.

Not that it'd make much difference. The Birmingham Six and the Guilford Four showed the world what Briddish in-depth interviews produce.

Correct.

Also, what has this case got to do with Brexit and the EU referendum?
