Well, I certainly look to U.S. corporations for moral guidance.

Like the one that preferred killing at least 13 people to replacing a two-dollar part. Or the one that trashed the economy, took a trillion-dollar bailout, and paid its executives (the ones who trashed the economy) eight-figure bonuses.



When similar actions were taken world wide by people who protested Bush's war on Iraq, many on the far right were not quite so enthusiastic about supporting that boycott effort.

yea wow what an incredible point, why don't superior systems implement themselves out of a thin air..? it's not like powerful entities would collide against it. i'm going to keep ignoring the 1% exist.

Yeah, look how it turned the Soviet Union, the PRC, East Germany, and Cambodia into paradise.
not socialist

.. socialism is a superior system for humans. capitalism is for paper(money)-worshiping animals.

Socializm can't work. Basically once humans discover you can get stuff for doing absolutely nothing, nobody works, nobody produces and everybody dies. It's a nice idea but humans are incapable of embracing it.

Said they were. The means of production were owned by the workers. They were just administered for the benefit of the workers by benevolent and democratic governments.

Aside from that, you sound like Colpy with his pathetic defence of Christians. "Oh, the ones who slaved, slaughtered, and raped in the name of Jesus Christ with the full and explicit blessing of their clergy weren't REAL Christians."

Been round that mulberry bush once already today. Spare me. Can we just agree that "real socialism" exists only in your head?

Also not true, but then, categorical statements rarely are.

socialism CAN work and HAS worked, albeit not in the modern era. the Native Americans for instance had a brilliant socialist culture. oh and every man and woman did work.
if you're lazy and have no inclination to do anything or passion for anything, that's not going to change under any system. forcing them to work for paper won't have any beneficial impacts on society.

Said they were.

that's great. nominally and actual reality are very different things.

The means of production were owned by the workers. They were just administered for the benefit of the workers by benevolent and democratic governments.

weren't the workers all oppressed by the government in those countries? they had no real say or owned anything. not real socialism.

Yeah. Too bad the Soviet bloc, with an allegedly different economic system, fell to immorality and greed. To which it did not cater. At least in your mind.
When changing the facts why not change them all. Reports say the best lie always has at least one element of truth in it. That also (mathematically) means that nothing can ever be totally true and that would be 'the key' to spotting the lie part that must be there. (lets say any answer that is less than the best answer in this 'situation'. (most damaging)
In this case the 'most popular version' has some 'flaws in it. I'm sure there are references available for all of this but the pattern should be pretty close to this:

-the west has electricity, Russia does not.
-west supplied Russia with power with certain 'commonalities' that should be a pattern and Venezuela would have the same pattern if such points even exist.
-power goes in to the 'elect' and the rest of the population gets zip.
-price of things that uses electricity jumps 10 fold
-if possible profits after go to the west rather than to the ones who 'own the hardware and do the repairs. (as in all of South America)
-to pay for all that somebody in the already poor country are going to get even less, mass graves are the answer and that is why 10M of Ukraine's poorest suddenly died of starvation. That would be like Winnipeg having no bread, not very likely without some radical change. The grain went west and the blame went east. Russia was already feeding itself (obviously) so the grain went to the west and things that ran on electricity went east.

It doesn't take many references to show that is historically accurate as far as the pattern went. Just how it was kept and manipulated in very little parts that has a big change because there are so many small changes. That is how you tell if the (obvious lie) is intentional or accidental. Accidently is a big change in only a very few changes, the other lie is much more damgerous as even finding the lie means that is just one part becaus it involves many subjects. Since I know your occupation (or former one doesn't matter) it would be the BAR. All Lawyers swear an oath to the BAR that puts the BAR above any Client 100% of the time. Do an hours research on Crown Temple Lawyers in the City of London and you will see who is the 'Crown' (passes from generation to generation) That might have you thing Yep he is an ******* alright. That's true but if I say that is as big as it gets (for Lawyers) It shows the pattern that exists today isn't going to change at all but we should be able to use the actual past to see where they are taking this. The Rothschild are tired of being 'untouchable' and they wan their title to be in all caps. Unfortunately when something like ISIS VS IAM then you will be able to see that one side will be struggling and struggling and making very little headway and the side of IAM would be getting things done in an almost effortless way.

Greed is what Businesses were granted with the Magna Carta. In exchange for the Monarchy wantonly killing them they would always be spared and the 'consumers' would be the group that took the full force of those rampages. The victims today would still be the consumers. You can get lots of authority on site to protect businesses , not so much out in the country.

What would 51% of all businesses in the world be worth, that is what that part of their wealth is. Art is a lot bigger than that just so a definition of what the 'big boys' have to play with. What they don't understand that the power to send many to the grave is made instantly small when somebody reverses that trend. Coming back from the grave is the fist power that GOD shows which is what would be more powerful. In this case ISIS is destined to control Iraq and that is the piece of the puzzle is effectice if invisible because the ones pulling strings are also.

I love the light topic days. There was your 'roast for the day'. I hear there was a Rabbi that worked through the Sabbath, need to find out how he did that?
