Socialist parties are nice, but why bother - capitalism will fall under its own weight.

Because if nothings ready to replace it, capitalism will only rear its seductive head again, and this time in a sexy Nazi outfit.

I hate social parties. Esp. when they're trying to be holier than the pope and just let people live on welfare ( THIS AIN'T SOCIALISM)

I am a liar and a demagogue
Being a communist, yeah, very likely!

The Swedish communist party went through some crisis. After the Fall of the Wall, they went through a metamorphosis and turned feminazi blasphemists under the female party leader Gudrun Schyman. She used all double standards but was allowed to stay in power until the last scandal was just too much:

- She used illegal labour (untaxed) to clean her house
- She was a severe alcoholic and pissed on the floor when she was too drunk to find the door at a movie premiere
- Her party promoted the policy that everyone should use public transportation whenever possible. But then she forgot her bag at a meeting and had a taxi driver transporting it hundreds of kms at tax us payer's expense.
- Her party promotes the policy that taxes should be high, especially for the rich (which includes her). But the board of taxation busted her when they found out she was asking for private tax relief for expenses already payed by the party (= tax payer's) funds. This was just too much for the people and she was sacked forever!

Her successor is not much better though. He calls himself a feminist, yet the party is struck by the worst case of sexual harassment ever in the history of Swedish politics, and all he has to say is: It's just a proof of the overall structure that women are less than men - our party is no exception! (As if he was not in charge of the party)

I had the chance to kill Gudrun Schyman 3 years ago, when I saw her in the airport lounge, and I had my evil knife in my pocket. It was a few months before 9/11, so short bladed knifes didn't even risk to set off the alarm. But cutting her ugly throath would't benefit my career, so I didn't. I'm too smart and honorable for such dirty deeds.

No I'm not. I'm just a f*cking covard who didn't fulfil my duty for the egoistic reasons of not wanting to spend the rest of my life in jail. Anything wrong with that?

Hmm, when I first read this (Red this? ), I didn't think it was another Commie. Funny that, the people more on the right-wing of you are treating you with respect, but those more or less on your side are treating you like dirt. Very interesting indeed.
Sound familiar? Catholics and Protestants, maybe, or Shi'ites (sp) and Sunnis?

Huh? My point was that they are groups that get extremely worked up over relatively minor issues - look at how Northern Ireland used to be.

I'm consistent like that .

But I don't believe I've ever taked about the virtues of unhintered capitalism.

And my dad probably won't be unemployed any time in the future. He works for the government (county) and we all know how hard it is to fire government workers .

I don't. I would never vote for her party. I'm a moderate conservative, she's a commie.

But after the Fall of the Wall she said she never was a commie. She said she just joined the communist party because her boyfriend did, and when she became party leader, they dropped "Communist" from the party name and just called themselfes "Leftists". Yeah, right... Joined the party because her boyfriend did - a feminist who lets her boyfriend think for her. Just another example of her double standards.

I'm not familiar with this expression but it sounds like it's something bad.

Bill and Monica was nothing. Who cares where he puts his organ, except Hillary? Bush had much worse scandals, still no one has dared to impeach him.

Azazel, as to the "free" part, of course it is not free, as you do have to pay taxes to the state for the state to pay its bureacracy and for the bureacracy to underpay its doctors and its medicine suppliers so that you can wait in long lines for both.
