I wonder how many times it needs to be attempted before one can conclude that all the terror, oprression and general human rights abuses are a feature, not a bug.

 

Evidently we've not hit the threshold. The definition of insanity, as they say.

[Gnasher]

Good ol Rico, he's flushed out a Marxist, we can all sleep safe tonight. I bet that commie Ash Sakar drinks vodka and not water.

What are you on about Gnosher? That’s her schtick, she says it on every tv show she’s been on. I think it’s her twitter bio too.

I think you’re huffing again aren’t you?

God bless capitalism (good old fashioned WASP capitalism obviously) which is all sunshine and fucking rainbows!

I love Histories Biggest Fibs (I think it’s called, or something like that) I also love her fondness for fancy dress and innuendo.

When she went to Wed Square in Wussia to do a series on how the woyal Womanovs wuled until the Wevolution, I thought someone at the BBC was taking the piss.

I just feel a stirring in my loins I’ve not felt since my adolescence! 
 

Off to watch now...

Apart from the gulags, the murders, the starvation etc why wouldn’t someone look at the communists and think “You know what, I think this is for me”?

I've never read the Communist Manifesto.  If it preaches the horrors of Stalinism, Maoism and the Khmer Rouge as essential to Communism, then you're right. Conversely, if it's possible to interpret those things as not being "true" Communism, then you'll have to find something else to attack Sarkar for.

Kind of true of Capitalism too, though.

Call yourself a commie! 
 

‘In short, the Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things.

In all these movements they bring to the front, as the leading question in each, the property question, no matter what its degree of development at the time. 

Finally, they labour everywhere for the union and agreement of the democratic parties of all countries.

The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims.

They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.

Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.

WORKING MEN OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE!’  
 

Ive read most of the Marx/Engles stuff and a lot of the later stuff, occupational hazard.

Love that film.

George C Scott's face when he's getting excited about how fast and manoeuvrable the US bombers are... and then he realises the implications of that.

 

One thing the film shows is that Commies and Capitalists are all fucking nuts!

Capitalism is very far from perfect, we all agree. But nobody built a wall to stop people fleeing from West Germany to East Germany, and nobody put to sea in a raft to escape from Florida to Cuba.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

We have nicer stuff.

Are they not capitalists who are stopping people cross borders and seas now?

[Bjornebye]

How many countries are currently annexing their border neighbours? 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I thought I'd look up something about what Sarkar actually believes (instead of us lot just speculating), so, obviously, the best place to find political theory is Teen Vogue.

Not to mention the horrific environmental cost of excessive consumerism.

I don’t think the worlds last remaining communist states of North Korea, Cuba or China are advocating open borders. That said, none of the refugees seem to want to go there. 

Not the point I was making though was it? Try to enter the king of the capitalists dream America if you're from Mexico.

They go in a raft to escape from France, are the french commies as well?

I think that’s lifted from an episode of the Wright Stuff.  She doesn’t mention what happens to those who might not agree with her, or those that start off agreeing and then change their minds.  I think that’s when it starts getting a bit, murdery. Or even when people want to decide if everyone has had enough and start to ask for elections.

I think it’s a genuine question as to why risk your life crossing the channel to end up living on the streets of the uk if you are already living in France and hence safe. I think the people smugglers (who are mainly organised crime) lie about what life is like in the UK to encourage demand. However I’m only speculating and don’t know the answer. Does anybody ? 

Decent bitter.
