"Capital is dead labor, which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labor, and lives the more, the more labor it sucks."
— Karl Marx

Or:

"Sell a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach a man how to fish, you ruin a wonderful business opportunity."
— Marx, at his most brilliantly snarky

Have fun, you pinkos! :hi:

1. I gotta get in here too.

Secrecy, being an instrument of conspiracy, ought never to be the system of a regular government.
Jeremy Bentham

[IChing]

3. Cool.....

[Jackpine Radical]

12. ...and another Benthamism...

No power of government ought to be employed in the endeavor to establish any system or article of belief on the subject of religion.
Jeremy Bentham

Bookmarking now!
Anyways, I always though of socialism as more of a blue color!

[rug]

5. Let us now begin to construct the socialist order.

6. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need"

My absolute favorite quote. I think I'll make it my sig line...

Hello, fellow Socialists! :hi:

[Tyler Durden]

7. I work for this for MONTHS, and you beat me to first post.

(Tyler pats himself on the back to the tune of "The Internationale")

[SteppingRazor]

8. Clearly, the struggle continues

:P

[Tyler Durden]

9. "The Internationale" unites the human race.

EVENTUALLY. Even the least informed factory worker eventually gets tired of being treated like a poorly maintained "meat machine."

NOW if we can stop harping on GUN CONTROL, maybe we can make some social progress.

18. it would be kinda nice to see some respect for other views

NOW if we can stop harping on GUN CONTROL, maybe we can make some social progress.

Gosh. It might, on the other hand, be possible to have a discussion of the issue among genuinely progressive people.

Some of whom believe that efforts to combat the climate of violence in a society - on the streets, in the home -- are actually progressive.

[NightWatcher]

11. yeah, a group of people who are anti-capitalist

I am so sick of everything that is capitalism. I long for the day when we can focus on caring for the basic needs (food, shelter, ...)of ourselves and others. I am a survivalist at nature- not a y2k bunker living nut, but someone who would rather focus on surviving and not "getting ahead" and "keeping up with the Joneses".
I hate money. I hate everything that money stands for. I've had money, and I've been poor. I've had a marriage that was destroyed by the "money" and the fact that just because you make less does not mean that you are worth"less" than someone else.
I am so absolutely sick of this drive for money and the rewarding of those with money and the punishing of those without money. I have often times thought of running away to a hippie commune, but alas, that would never work.

I hope that here we can bitch about capitalism and talk about what we can do to live without it.

13. Greetings, comrades

[Cleita]

[orleans]

[TommyPaine]

17. Another fun quote to add to the mix.

If money is the root of all evil, then capitalism is the twisted tree which it feeds.
