mhaze yes still rethinking my rude reply
But I ask you this question
You agree you do not like me? take weak shots often?
End question start statement, * based only on your words* *I place no value on your intellectual ability's*
Question, is it your view my job is to take what I see as childlike insult without return serve*?
Sadly mhaze you can not do better, but thanks for proving that post after post

Weren't Labor party members great fans of the Swedish model in the 1980s? What a disaster that was.

But capitalism is the great evil, hence the global warming catastrophe fairy tales about how it will destroy the world in another century or so. Meanwhile Venezuela, with the world's largest oil reserves, is presently suffering a catastrophe dwarfing the fairy tales, another socialist failure.

Belly,

Wow. Quite the tantrum. I can see you don't like your little fibs pointed out.

Don't fret over insulting me - water off a ducks back. Or "like being flogged with a warm lettuce". As a life-long ALP man (chuckle) you'd know that quote, wouldn't you?

Paul,

Hilariously, 4 hours after Belly agrees that he once said he was a communist, Paul denies it. Paul continues his struggle with facts, let alone reality.

Fester,

I think the reason that there are so many definitions of 'socialist' is that there are so many versions of it. But people calling both Sweden and Cuba 'socialist' surely means that the term is useless

Hi Belly,

When I was about 18 I was keen on a girl who was a member of the 'Spartacus League' a hot communists she be. If sex was part of the manifesto then I was willing to be indoctrinated 2 or 3 times a week.

Lets have a laugh.

Paul at that age it was not enough
Some one we know seems intent on the self service section
If reincarnation of the mind is true, who knows, I could ask for no better start in life
Having an inquiring mind and a love of reading/learning has benefits
Making mistakes and living to know you did? priceless

Religions are many and varied, yet I have not seen this fact advanced as reason to think religion a useless description. Surely with religions and socialism the inference is to the respective theistic and Marxist wellsprings?

No, I think the reality is that there is great embarrassment at the failure of socialist experiments across the world for more than a century. I have seen French socialists become very annoyed when the subject of Venezuela gets mentioned. What I find astonishing is that the creed still has exponents at high levels of control. The UK faces another experiment in the near future. Will it be Nirvana at last? I think the outcome will be an easier call than a global warming disaster.
