: I have read your opinions on the notice boards and your slinging of right wing political dogma and cliches has made me see the light...NOT!

Oh, your right. Because communists such as yourself never sling any sort of tripe around. Give me a break. We could argue about this untill we are both physically nausous. It would make no difference in either of our viewpoints.

: I really cant believe you people when we commies get pissed at our permanent positions of subordination and the inequalities that are inevitible in capitalism we sound off and get crazy as far as I can see your perfectly happy to be a slave.

I am happy. But a slave, I am not. What do you find so hard to believe? That we are willing to work hard because we are motivated by (gasp) money?

: You said you work in McD's are you ever annoyed by peoples inconsideration (if you say no your lying)? Well this is the outgrowth of your oh so great society where individualism rules until it is insane.

Yes I'm annoyed at inconsiderate people. But that is not the result of capitalsim. Are you saying that I owe something to the community? Are you saying that I should worry about the state before I worry about myself. Just know that a community cannot exist without individuals. Individualism should be stressed above all things

: I've had people who otherwise would profess to communist/lefty politics but they've been victims of the establishment garbage that is churned out about freedom, freedom, freedom.

I still believe that I have more freedom where I am than if I were under the system that you are promoting.

: Where is the freedom Cara I have the freedom of speak: To shout in a back street that my housing is shit, my wages are shit,
: I have the right to privat property: To buy the cheaper TV, cheaper Radio and constantly replace them while the rich man has one that lasts, (I dont even own this terminal its the Uni's)
: I have the freedom of assembly: To gather together and compare how shit we are in accordance to the rich and employers.
: I have the right to vote: For Corporate A or Corporate B

Okay, I agree, you are shit. Do you want everybody to be shit? Just know that you are the minority.

: Your dream is a lie, you realise how rubbish your system is but couldnt imagine a better one so you idealise it. Guess what I burn your flag (something you arent free to do) because the dream burned up sometime ago and the symbolism is all that remains.

Yes, we do have the freedom to burn our flag. But I don' because I have some respect for it still. I will not plege allegence to the flag, but I will stand for it, out of respect for all that was given by those before me so that I could live under the system that I so enjoy.

: I'm telling you Gramsci was right when he wrote about Hegemony!!

Too bad I don't know what that is.

: Your should try arguing it out in the Capitalism and alternatives Everret and Co. would point out in fine detail whats wrong with Capitalism!

I used to frequent that room. But I got sick of the flames I got from people like you. Maybe I will return.

: You wont have read this far but because your pariotic views will have demanded that you rush out an anti commie reply after the first sentence.

Well, it looks like I finnished. Just note that this is not an appropriate room to debate this sort of thing. If you have anything more to say about it, please post it in the Capitalism and Alternatives room.
