"My preoccupation with Marx"? Communists talk about Marx morning, noon and night. They fly giant red flags with his face on it. He's on their currency. They write endless books about him Communism in the political economic sense that we understand it today is not "as ancient as humanity" -- and for your "Christian communism" -- check in with Emperor Constantine, 'cuz I'm pretty sure that he was keen on the "render unto Caesar" bit . . . Every single communist party that has achieved political power in the 20th century looked to Marx as an inspiration. Every one of them. |

A long time actually
He'd be the union delegate who does no actual physical work, you know, handing out leaflets and so on

The Swiss heroes are : Arnold von Winkelried, Arnold von Melchtal, Walter Fürst, Werner Stauffacher and the mythic "Wilhelm Tell" (who maybe never existed ). Mainly pure revolutionary farmers, who represent in Swiss spirit, fair hard workers who fought against overlords and won. I always suspected that my mission would be almost impossible to convert classical Anglo-Saxon capitalist serfs to REAL freedom. We, French speaking people, will always remember that our English cousins fought against us, because their monarchs gave them the order to defend their aristocratic privileges against notions like freedom, equality, fraternity. If you think that I'll give up in front of your coalition, you are wrong. I only have one thing to say: "La garde meurt, mais ne se rend pas." |

There is no king in a marble castle telling me how to live this evening, no communist dictator dwelling in an onion-domed edifice deciding whether I should live or die, only a somewhat deranged businessman in an oversized plantation house twittering about how we should do this or that. And we elected him (well, some of us did) to sit in that plantation house and troll people on Twitter. And he can't fuck with us in any real meaningful way, because we cleverly set up our government so that aristocrats, nobles, dictators and Swiss Savonarolas like you can't turn our happy republic into another steaming pile of shit. We like things just as they are, thank you very much. I am relatively free, all you have are fantasies of freedom, and truth be told, they aren't very good fantasies.

What's popular opinion on this? Did centralism really stem from Swiss internal ideas (Rousseau) or was it really a result of conquest (by France and later victorious Allies)? Could you (want you) abolish all notions of a country and go back to Tagsatzung era? |

It funny that you namecheck the folks who put an end to the Revolution-- you forget that Napoleon thought of the revolutionaries as canaille and famously disposed of the Directory in the coup Brumaire, and a few years later crowned himself Emperor. |

I got way to angry the other night and couldn't reply without being abusive, tried posting a proper reply but just couldn't, so waited. What annoyed me was xyzde stated I manipulate .... without any evidence, there have been a few post removals, but that's it, I'd like to ask him why he thinks I do and back it up with evidence He'd only come up with, I don't know what actually, maybe he could help me Today, I hate Communism more than I did yesterday also

The new monarchs is a cast of plutocrats collaborating with bankers and financial institutes. If you (as myself) are not in the lowest casts and quite glad in our societies, that doesn't mean we don't have to point the problems. Didn't you observe that the "highest cast" still impose an economic system that is incredibly harmful for the next generation? Just read scientific reports. Reports pointed that at least since 1970. What were the resolutions taken by our governements when reading these reports? None. They have pushed people to waste more energy than ever, to went on war to occupy Middle East to steal their oil.... etc... Today people could easily work 15 hours per week (and more if they wanted), have simple hobbies instead to produce craps or working in offices to write paperworks. We could better share jobs more. Don't you occult the reality ? |
