    George Galloway banned from Canada

    In the wise words of a good mate of mine: Way to make an otherwise pathetic bourgeois politician feel an inflamed sense of self-importance.

    Reds are on the Rise?

    Cite or STFU. What I think matters is his method. If Marx made incorrect predictions or conclusions this not important, what is import is the validity and utility of his method. /thread :rolleyes: Indeed, we are seeing a string upsurge in the class struggle internationally. However, I...

    Reds are on the Rise?

    Marx was not a prophet, his "predictions" are of little importance. What is important in Marx is his method - historical materialism, understanding the course of history, the critique of alienation and the social effects of capitalism, the critique of classical political economy and the laws and...

    Reds are on the Rise?

    Of course, I know this. Either way I think my post is a perfectly legitimate reply to an oft made argument made by many "marxists". Well I think this proves you're not completely good for nothing - at least you can crack a bloody good one liner.

    Reds are on the Rise?

    Who really gives a damn. The CPA has run in the federal and state elections numerous times in the recent past. Besides, they're nothing more than a bunch of red-washed liberals, the left-wing of capital. This kind of mechanical determinism is foreign to Marxism, there is a clear tendancy...

    Have your political views changed over time?

    Reading and comprehending are two very different things. Beside, I'd be interested to know what constitutes reading. "The big phrasebook of leftist rhetoric" doesn't count, though the supposed communists and ex-communists on this board will tell you otherwise. I wouldn't call them "homos"...

    Have your political views changed over time?

    I try not to think back on my political past. I once occupied the anti-working class swamp of social-democratic and green politics. Luckily of course I got a job and happened upon Marx shortly afterward. Quite obviously, Graney, you were never much of a communist. I think your phase is best...

My NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 is displayed but it has a little yellow triangle with exclamation mark. What does this mean? I have tried updating the drivers for it automatically but it can...

    "Communism is the greatest evil unleashed on humanity"

    @ Ronin - I will not be replying to your post and addressing the 'points' you have made due to both time and energy constraints. I have gained nothing and have nothing to gain from our (continued) dialogue as such I see no reason in continuing to waste my time on an individual who chooses to...

    "Communism is the greatest evil unleashed on humanity"

    This sentence is incoherent. Aside from your terminology mistakes, what is "labour is being used to get something" meant to mean? In all human societies labour is necessary so as to produce and distribute articles of consumption necessary for human life. Labour will be still be necessary in a...
