do you have a problem with reading comprehension?

I love how everyone who converses with Mal has to ask him this


I love how he avoids answering it.

And people who insult others for poor reading comprehension are almost always the ones who themselves completely miss the point of the posts they're responding to. It's called projection.

No, no it fuckin isn't. Voluntarily giving out Halloween candy doesn't even approach what Marx described socialism as. Giving out candy is called "charity", which is what the US leads the world in per capita despite being one of the more capitalist countries.

And for that matter, having a handful of government services is also not socialism. England in the 1800's also had roads/firefighters/police/etc, but Marx never called England a socialist society.

Somehow, he had a more appropriate idea of socialism back when he was intentionally acting like a dumbass than he does when he's being his normal liberal self


didn't donald trump jr. literally tweet this exact same message a few days ago?

Because there is a big bash Trump and Republicans thing going on in the media.
People eat it up, so they often resort to intellectual dishonesty to keep up with the demand.
Not that Trump isn't often worthy of ridicule.

You are angry but Marxism is not Socialism and anything written by Marx is also not a bible or anything. Left libertarian socialism is not comparable to Bolshevism and that's what anti-socialist folk tend to claim. Also, socialism is when a group (small or large) control the means of production and distribution. Left libertarian forms of socialism are generally based on consent just like right libertarian forms of capitalism. Appeals to emotion don't belong here.

I use to love him on The Colbert Report. And anyone who knows me on here knows I'm as far from liberal as possible.
He was creative and damn funny.

Now he's just the real him. There's zero creativity. He's just this raw nerve out there every night doing his "Trump is the worst thing since Satan!" shtick. There's no jokes. There's no humor. It's just name calling and then the dumb audience hooting and hollering in agreement. Wtf is that?
It's almost impossible to believe they're the same person. Which makes it all the more sad because he's genuinely capable of being good.

This. He knows he doesn't have to put effort into his show anymore since he can grab the low hanging fruit of the Trump tree.

I imagine he thanks his lucky stars every single day that Trump is president.

Marx never called his ideas "Marxism", he called them "Socialism", which was in his view a means with which to attain a Communist state. And while there are other ideas of socialism out there, they generally don't stray far from Leninism or Maoism. Socialdemocratism is just Leninism-lite.

You sure about that? Bolshevism was largely based on the premise that Capitalist nations had been exporting their poverty to other countries through trade manipulation, colonization and war in order to maintain their wealth. Does that not sound like what every socialist nowadays claims?

"Which was in his view" - That's called an opinion. Thanks for agreeing with me.

Bolshevism was inherently authoritarian. You could have 5 dudes that live in the forest and only fuck with each other or if they fuck with others then it's a combination of mutual resources bartered for something that helps them collectively. This would be an example of left libertarian socialism as this group would entirely control their means of production and distribution collectively. I dismiss the idea that socialism leads to communism because it implies having lots of land and a large population. True freedom means personal choice. Many people like socialism and don't mind paying taxes for a good cause. Not everyone is like this nor should they be forced to be.

In left libertarian socialist ideologies (remember what libertarian actually means) we all have the freedom to be ourselves. Forcing the masses into communism goes directly against personal freedom. That being said, we don't have any groups of people like that. The closest we get to that is the Amish.

Name one left libertarian socialist situation that failed due to socialism. I'll wait. Left libertarian socialists do not believe in a one-size-fits all society. Just another reason we are the true libertarians and the American Libertarian Party are more authoritarian, not less. They bitch about the same federal reserve and taxes as of 1913. Then they support shit that helps the fed thrive, not help end it.

They do, they just don't realize it. Even when Republicans try to delay the inevitable expansion of technology to keep machines from taking jobs all I am hearing them yell is "We need socialism to keep up with technological advancement and population growth".

It wasn't an insult, it was genuine surprise.

Anyways, how does ones standing with accounts have anything to do with the substance of comments or intellect? Care to connect the dots?

For instance, your account has been around for 15 years. Never banned, yet you know the least about almost every issue compared to an average person.

Clearly intelligence and "smarts" has absolutely no correlation to account status on gamefaqs.

Thanks for trying, I'm sure we'll meet again during some of your patented race-baiting.

Just want to point out. The concept of Halloween is you give trick or treaters candy so they don't play a trick on you. I would say that is a forceful tactic of getting free stuff from others.


Halloween is basically kids extorting adults for candy.
