Lenin.

Your point?

I can name many others who didn't like capitalism:

Karl Marx
Leon Trotsky
Josef Stalin
Mao Zedong

... and the list goes on.

No point.

I was jsut thinking of the thing from the Simpsons where the Berlin wall falls and Lenin walks out like Frankenstein and says "Must crush Capitalism".

I chuckled lightly to myself and then thought about making a sandwich.

Excellent find, Typhoid. +rep

Yes. At last a picture of a reasonable crowd, rather than a bunch of hippies.

Well I wasn't bashing Typhoid's pic (and neither was Rumpel it seems), I was in favour of it.

Er

Let me rephrase that...

Long live capitalism.

Capitalism rocks.
I cant argue with capitalism.

Its Capitalisms "fault" that I am rich.

Hooray for privatization.


EDIT: Strangler, dont tell me what i was intending to do...i was serious....Capitalism made me rich. Nothing else made me rich.

Typhoid, don't put words in my mouth. This is what I said:

His pic was intended to be sarcastic, if I am not mistaken and I don't think I am (as denoted by the "bombs not bread" and "profits before people" signs in the background.)

I specifically referred to the picture, NOT YOU. The PICTURE is intended to be sarcastic, and thats pretty obvious. Read the signs in the background. You may have been serious, but the medium you chose to relay that seriousness was not. And you have to admit, you don't have the best sarcasm detector in the world

EDIT: The question is still in the air. Whats better than Capitalism?

I know you weren't bashing it... I was. His pic was intended to be sarcastic, if I am not mistaken and I don't think I am (as denoted by the "bombs not bread" and "profits before people" signs in the background.)

The question is still on the table, though. Whats better than Capitalism?

For the economy? It's certainly the best.

But tell me, why does everything has to revolve around the economy? It's like money is more important than life itself.

Also do you really think that everybody is addicted to money like you are?

Nitram, I have retired from political conversation, mainly due to ignorant comments like the one you just made. Attack someone else if you like, but when referring to my posts, save the drama for yo momma cause I ain't listening.

Didn't you attack all of those who don't think capitalism is the best way to go, by calling them hypocrites?

And if the last part of my post offended you, then just ignore it and answer the rest of the post. This might be a great discussion.

My intention wasn't to attack you, but to really make the point that there is such people that don't think that capitalism is all that good.
