Why do you get on ... ( 2 months ago by westphalianprinz)
Why do you get on here and write trollish statements? You're a capitalist. Shouldn't you be out trying to make more money instead of complaining about Scargill and all that nonsense about the previous attempts of socialism?
Capitalism is an ... ( 2 months ago by dragonlee90)
Capitalism is an economic theory you clueless fuck. Capitalism requires a small state. Socialism requires a large state to take all the property and maintain it. Also, don't listen to Lenin, Imperialism and Capitalism are notihng alike. Social theories are bad because they need implementing on people. Go and research capitalism before making such stupid comments. I'll give you a small fact, before capitalism, society was divided into royalty and the poor.
Capitalism created ... ( 2 months ago by dragonlee90)
Capitalism created the working and middle classes, and enabled poor people to become rich. But you obviously don't have the brains to make up your own mind.
What created the ... ( 2 months ago by westphalianprinz)
What created the middle classes was class struggle. The French Revolution led to the creation of the Middle Class. The Middle class was created to subvert revolutionary ideals. The same occurred after the Revolutions of 1848, and again after the Russian Revolution. Economic policies were created to allow for a larger middle class to subvert revolutionary ideals. Capitalism itself created none of this. I'm a trained to the doctoral level in history, unlike most idiot economists.
And you make ... ( 2 months ago by dragonlee90)
And you make yourself out to be an intelligent historian... what a joke
If you are indeed a ... ( 2 months ago by dragonlee90)
If you are indeed a historian, you should know that historians are always in argument with each other. Capitalism came from Holland in the 16th century. It brought about the Industrial Revolution, which brought about factory owners and a new middle class, who were not part of the aristocracy. As a historian, you should know that socialism and communist have destroyed the countries they have been implemented in. I am a historian too, and an amateur economist.
Russia was ... ( 2 months ago by dragonlee90)
Russia was completely crippled before the Revolution because of autocratic government. Capitalism requires a small state to thrive. Lenin killed millions as did Stalin. People had to queue to get bread. It was only until the fall of the wall and Gorbachov's reforms that stimulated growth in Russia and created a better of working class and middle classes. Putin also will be remembered as a great President, and justly so. Go and read some Milton Friedman and Freidrich Hayek, and get educated
I'm pretty well ... ( 2 months ago by Retrieverman1)
I'm pretty well educated. Stalin didn't kill millions of people, just 500,000 to million. The US client state in Indonesia killed more. Friedman and Hayek were piss poor historians. The vast majority of East Europeans and Soviet people are having buyer's remorse about having capitalism-- which is why Stalin is so popular in the Russian mind. 1/2 of all Russians believe his role was positive rather than negative. There are real historians, not Conquest, who have looked at the records.
I am. I've worked ... ( 2 months ago by Retrieverman1)
I am. I've worked on two revisionist histories of the Soviet Union.
Freidman and Hayek ... ( 2 months ago by dragonlee90)
Freidman and Hayek were not historians, they were economists, and very sound economists too. Stalin's reforms e.g. collectivisation, contributed to the deaths of nearly 35,000,000 people, as they were forced to starve in labour camps, and those who protested were executed. Putin's Presidency presided over a 150% increase in the average wage, a 72% increase in GDP, and nearly a 50% reduction in poverty, because of his policies for a free market.

Socialism is back ... ( 2 months ago by weemagicstane)
Socialism is back on the agenda! Why even the Bush regime in the US is nationalising its' financial sector - to bail out the corporations at the peoples' expense of course but the precedence has been set.
Arthur's analysis here is excellent and this series of videos is well worth watching.
Socialism is not ... ( 1 month ago by dragonlee90)
Socialism is not back on the agenda. That bail out in America is bailing out not capitalism, but neoliberalism.. No President has spent more than Bush on health, education and public services, thus increasing the national debt. He has nationalised several banks over his reign, and has let the credit market go unchecked so that ''all shall have their prize,'' a very socialist idea. Only free market libertarian capitalism can help people in this crisis. Monetarism is the answer again.
Bush has spent on ... ( 1 month ago by weemagicstane)
Bush has spent on healthcare??? Don't you mean on WMD and war after war?
You must be the last person on earth still supporting "libertarian capitalism"!

Ever heard of the Medicare program? It was the largest ever committment to healthcare spending.
Arthur Scargills ... ( 1 month ago by rayyyyyy1)
Arthur Scargills politics are nonsense. Socialism can not be imposed on people from above. Socialism has to be democratic from the start. No block votes, no party slates..Democratic from the start.
Socialism imposed ... ( 1 month ago by weemagicstane)
Socialism imposed from above? Where does he say that? Block votes, like in company law where the size of the vote is determined by how wealthy you are? You don't believe in representative democracy then? You've just spouted a whole lot of baloney.
One of the most ... ( 1 month ago by rayyyyyy1)
One of the most striking thins about leading lefties like Scargill,Livingstone,Benn and Galloway is how they all get on together.
Truth is its not mutual admiration but mutul hatred and jealousy. All of them are egotistical and have as little respect for each other as they do for the rest of us.

The introduction of the free market to Russia saw life expectancy for men drop an incredible 7 years.

Yeah I agree. It has to come from below. "The emancipation of the working class must be an act of the working class" - K. Marx. All this stuff about "revolutionary vanguards" and so on is nonsense.
And I must say, the thumbs down you are getting is pretty discouraging.

That's because they were allowed to do things they had never done before, such as go to fast food restaurants and get fat.

Was that supposed to be funny or were you actually being serious?
I was being serious ... ( 1 month ago by dragonlee90)
I was being serious. It was a comedic statement that does highlight the nature of reality. In richer countries, people eat more. The obesity rates in China have risen significantly over the last 30 years, it's just human nature, we always want more.
