The failure of capitalism (again)

[puddytat]

Right on man!! Im surprised that so many think capatalism will get us out of the coming problems when it was that very thing thats got us into the shit were in, & its only the beginning....Why is it that nearly every day on Nat. radio that there is more & more experts from around the world saying that were ALL going to suffer from the greatest threat to humanity in the next 50years, & if we stick with this stink systems that encourages greed,then we really dont have a shits show. Sorry if the truth bursts youre little warm bubbles, but keep your heads in the sand all you anti global warming-ists,you pro free traders, tell it to youre kids when the ask YOU why we used everything & left nothing for them except a future on a fucked planet. Youre money will be worth as little as mine then,'cause the billions of poor are going to rise up take what they need ,not buy it.

No, you can't live in the past 98tls but you can make the future better

i don't subscribe to the "lay back and think of England" theory of society

Nicely put.I hear what your saying and a few times in my life i have thought "fuck this i am going to do something" but unfortunately a mortgage blah blah blah has reined in my thoughts on changing the world,looking back maybe that could be read as "lay back etc" dunno.What i do know is we can tap keys on here till the cows come home it wont change a thing.

What past are you looking at?

70 years ago (one mans lifespan) the world was at war, Genocide was the order of the day, Everything was scarce. Life was hard. People died for things that wouldn't even ruin your week in this age.

True, fascism had taken control and we had to fight and die to get rid of it again.
fascism: extreme right wing capitalism....................

Before that we have the depression, Before that another world war, Not to long before that we had wars over local lands, People died just trying to grow enough food to live.

yep, the STOCK MARKET crashed, capitalsim failed again and millions died, fascism, nationalism and racism dominated until we fought back again

Before that?

In the good old days you lived hard, and died young. More often then not most of your children died.

Sounds awesome.

who wants that? oh yeah, conservatives do............

Bend over people, put your head between your legs and kiss your arse goodbye, you’ll soon be property if you’re not already.

No free-trader has made me do that, and none has proposed to

But socialists have already turned me into a slave.
Like it or not, they take my production off me by force.

Exactly how much of what I do needs to be taken from me by force before I am a slave ?

Tell me Idle...

If you take everything I produce, by force them I am a slave.

If you feed me, and give me lodgings am I still a slave ?
Yeah, I am, I'm just a slave who will be alive to be a slave next week too.

So what if you only take 50% of what I produce. (Like NZ does)?

Hmm... maybe I'll reserve the right to use force back one day.

'cause the billions of poor are going to rise up take what they need ,not buy it.

Don't be silly, The billions of poor will die off. Happens to all species when resources run out.

Its natures way of bringing balance, It works well.

[idleidolidyll]

tell it to youre kids when the ask YOU why we used everything & left nothing for them except a future on a fucked planet.

they'll lie to their progeny. They say they tried to stop it

Yep, those are some of the control systems they use

[Headbanger]

Lmao.

Works for me.

[98tls]

What past are you looking at?

The only one i feel suitably qualified to comment on,mine.Must have just got lucky but growing up in very rural NZ was a blessing for sure.

[scumdog]

Meh, as long as I get paid enough to fill my Harley I don't care...enjoy..

[idleidolidyll]

Best ya do some overtime then as you have a sporty muffler to buy.

[Headbanger]

I too need to do some more slave work for my oppressive masters so I can give money to their oppressive masters who have used offshore slaves to make a shoddy product they have brainwashed me into thinking I need/want.
