Can we just pause and reflect on what a blaspheme jakyl is being right now. This is literally just a meaningless semantic argument. Whether you think rights are some magic thing that exist out there in the ether or are a concept that should be applied but isn't always amounts to the exact same thing - you think the government should follow those principles, but you recognize it's possible for a government to ignore or subvert them --- We clasped our hands, our hands in praise of a conquerors right to tyranny ...

Once a government has started doing it for SOME unions though, then it becomes a right 1. If the government is selective, then it is by definition not considered a universal right 2. I'm arguing that said agency should be determined by the legislative processes in our government (like Australia is doing), not subverted through a radicalized judiciary --- "Seph's kind of right."~ Jakyl25 ...

Marx/Hitler/Stalin/Jakyl perspective. I have to call this bullshit out too. None of these 4 have anything but a modicum of similarity in that Hitler and Stalin used the word "communist/socialist" in the same way North Korea uses "democratic" and "republic." Not that Marx's ideas were anything close to a good idea (their naivety is astounding even by today's standards) but come on.

Stalin was a communist. He was a total douchebag and an evil motherfucker, but Stalinism is branched off from Marxism, and isn't a complete perversion of the philosophy. I disagree with the last part. Communism, as I've read about it, is fundamentally at odds with dictatorship since it's supposed to be governed by, uh, the community. The problem was that Lenin fucked everything up by trying to go right from feudalism to communism without going through capitalism first, creating a working class that would then have the opportunity to rise up. (I investigated this pretty thoroughly in university for a history course.) When you take a monarchy from people who know only monarchy, of course they're going to go for the strongman who acts like a monarch ere long. Marxist communism would have sucked too, possibly more since it would lead to a hilariously weak central government as well, but let's go a little deeper than "there's a sickle and hammer so he embodies Marx." --- E come vivo?
