Okay, that’s another characteristic on here. Being an arbiter of who is/isn’t a Marxist. Who’s a social democrat…okay. I’m happy to be surrounded by such wisdom (see I’m learning the ropes vis a vis serious/sarcastic simultaneously).

Will do. Thnx

Well Che, who was probably the most complete revolutionary I’ve ever known of, Once said when asked what the most important ingredient to being a revolutionary was, said.(paraphrasing) : the most important ingredient for a true revolutionary is a profound sense of love. And no, I know you’re...

Idk why people think it’s okay to fuck with people from behind their computer, and then play the victim when they get it back. I admit, for two decades, except for texting my loved ones and co-workers I’ve lived a face to face life. Prior to signing on here that is. Maybe it’s part of the...

I don’t even know if that’s a real term (poof) I pulled it out of thin air because it sounded like a Limey insult. No idea what the Terf (?) brigade is either. Yeah, you did delete it because after quoting and writing my response it was gone. After I defended myself you re-wrote it using...

I don’t think (idk the full effect of Israel’s attack) but they (Iran) were exceedingly measured and conservative in their response last time Israel struck them. They flooded the sky with obsolete HE rounds and forced Israel to use iron dome which is like a billion dollar a pop ADA. While doing...

Well, that seems a little vague to me. The people I’m talking about are not illiterate. Lazy in regards to looking out for their best interests,sure. Well read, no. But they can read (I think). As far as the science of Marxism. Beyond the algebraic examples in Capital. I don’t know if it...

No, it is Irans absolute right & duty to respond accordingly. There is a laundry list of targeted killings of Iranians, including bombings. Idk wtf you’re taking about re; homophobia. I am born and raised in NYC and not only have a brother who is married to another man but have probably known...

They are a lunatic state. Need to be put down like a rabid dog. “We” the U.S. is likely to face a 9/11 style blowback event. I am very angry, disappointed & I believed in a deity I would be praying for all the more innocent lives gonna be destroyed behind this. Can escalate very quickly to...

Hope Iran hits them back. HARD! I believe this was a targeted surgical strike about as much as I believe Israel is only targeting Hamas militants.

Pretty well executed cover of FZ

I disagree in that particular case but I’ve heard some excellent covers of his tunes. By & large I prefer the original personally. Compared to Zimmerman though, any cover is almost certainly better than a Bob Dylan original. He could write lyrics. Sing, play, perform, not so much. & I’ve seen...

I knew a senior enlisted man once. I wrote a bit about him in one of my first posts. One combat tour in Korea, Two in Vietnam, one of which was as an advisor with the Montegyards •sp an indigenous tribe , during the Phoenix program. His opinion (strongly held) was that females made excellent...

Maybe the NHS is not the best example then, lol. National Healthcare is a model that works reasonably well in plenty of nations though. It is concrete and achievable. All of the social safety nets that began during the New Deal and continued in the mid sixties got done pre-internet. Social...

You very well may be right. Trump is having a “Big Beautiful Military Parade” this Saturday. A friend just informed me that there is organizing in progress to get a big counterprotest. Israel is adept at pulling off shit while all the (U.S.) cameras are pointing in the other direction as they...

A friend of mines mom used to teach at this really exclusive/elite private elementary schools in Greenwich Village. This is over 20 years ago or thereabouts. Anyway Robert DeNiro’s kid went there and every time he came to pick his kid up he’d walk in with his phone to his ear so that no one...

I wish the ICJ had actual teeth and an enforcement wing that could bring criminals like him and over here to the kind of justice They use their SF’s to on their behalf and tacitly in our/my name.

No worries Other, I am sorry we had to meet on the board under unpleasant circumstances. Here in Ameristan the whole woke movement has been used as a bludgeon to stifle any traction the Working Class starts to even get a toe hold in the realm of concrete progress for all the Working...

Thanks @sufi for reviving this thread. It certainly is aptly titled. I don’t feel the need to reply to posts from 2012. It’s pretty much an anachronism at this point. The Geenie is long out of the bottle. After the Snowden revelations though, it is (meta collection of everyone’s data) is still a...
