: Once again Gerard, lots of arm waving, even some hopping up and down.

What are you talking about?

: I hope that no one would profess unchecked capitalism to be the answer; infact, I would hope most people would fight that with the same zeal you put forth in your arguments.

Glad to hear it.

:There are many things in life that we should strive for; moreover, Communism embodies many of these wonderful ideals. But Communism isnt without its inherent flaws which you seem to seemlessly overlook or ,even worse, cant see.

I think you havent thought about communism outside of history leasons about the USSR.

:Please for my sanity, enough of your cries for capitulation when the current state of affairs shows your point of views to be "on the ropes".

How does it? Things havent changed a lot, you know there was a time when no systems where socialist but the people still organised in attempt for something different.


:Long live the ideals but ideals dont keep your warm at night, rain off your head, or food in your stomach.

That is why we want to make ideals practice by instating a socialist governemnt and developing a socialist conciousness. If everyone shared these ideals we wouldnt have capitalism.

:(As Im sure many people in Cuba will tell you)

I've wrote about this in other posts but you'll never know how great Cuba could be because the U.S. will insist on attacking it and it cant fight back effectively.
