Hahah yes, the Chaser are sick. I voted for Greens in the Federal election and then realised that ultimately all the parties are shit, so I didn't vote in the state election. The Greens are better than the two main parties, srsly. Who gives a shit about the economy? The only people who benefit...
No. I read quite a lot of it, and most of it ignored how the real world actually functions or proposed ideas that aren't functional. Rothbard wasn't interested in creating a decent society, he was interested in removing barriers to wealth and power for the capitalist class. All moves towards...
You want to pull Sylvester's dick out of your mouth? Even you can agree that the rich essentially control how our economic and social systems operate. They have far too much power and I'd have no problem killing them, as with any other authoritarian figure.
I've read enough of his bullshit to know that it's all unsubstantiated crap.
I have actually, on multiple occasions.

What we have isn't capitalism, so...
I don't see how you can disagree with or not see the sense of this video. Harvey is attacking corporatism. Capitalism, or what's called capitalism (because we don't have it, thankfully) can only be expressed within the free market doctrine. The free market won't ever emerge because no one except...
Yes. Parental involvement in their child's education is the biggest determining factor in their education.
In my experience, I'd say about 90% of my teachers were good. The possibility that you didn't learn shit at high school (I learnt fuck all personally) is probably the fault of the...
Haha, maybe. It's got to be deeper than that. I was thinking more state-imposed nationalism and the prevalence of right-wing media, combined with their general lack of education; in any case, it's frustrating when you try to help them and they won't help themselves.
Serious discussion please. Why is it that the working class as a whole tends to be more socially and fiscally conservative than the others? You'd think that some class consciousness and solidarity would mobilise the working class against privilege, but they instead seem to focus their anger on...
Re: What do you think of the current revolution in Egypt?
A repentant noble man
He vowed to overthrow the land
Horrified by the treatment of the peasants by his fathers hand
He had a vision, destruction, his creative urge
He lit a fire and it still burns
Mikhail wanted nothing more than liberty...
I'm glad we can settle this, I misunderstood your point. We can however both agree that the economic situation whereby those in poverty have no option but sweatshops shouldn't exist in the first place.
Not by becoming the economic slaves of the West, that's for sure. I agree, corrupt African...
That's not an argument. By using a computer I'm benefiting from technology, not the 'fruits of competition'. I'm benefiting from the labour of the people who made the computer, by trading the computer for my own labour. I want an intelligent response to the argument I posted, damnit. Instead, I...
Because I live in a capitalist society and various social pressures inspired and strengthened by consumerism prevent me from living on the street, getting a mohawk and vandalising banks.
Terrible, terrible argument. You're basically saying that these atrocities, and that's what they are, atrocities of the poor for the profit of Nike, are justifiable because they're better than the alternative. That we should allow Nike to exploit these developing countries for profit is...
