ITT: Canada. Love it? Hate it? Want to rip its nuts off and feed them to its dog? You tell me.
User avatar #35567 to #35566 - Major Mayhem (5 hours ago) [-]
I like some of their policies ie universal health care, but I feel like some other things are too loose, like becoming an illegal alien is incredibly easy. Also, legalized Marijuana.
User avatar #35568 to #35567 - feelythefeel (5 hours ago) [-]
What about legalised marijuana? The way you worded it is confusing.
User avatar #35569 to #35568 - Major Mayhem (5 hours ago) [-]
I am strongly against it. I think it breeds generations of unproductive oxygen thieves.
#35578 to #35569 - oxan (4 hours ago) [-]
For slightly different reasons.
User avatar #35570 to #35569 - feelythefeel (5 hours ago) [-]
Much worse could be said for alcohol and tobacco, and yet it's not just legal, it's pushed on you. I'm not for marijuana legalisation, just its decriminalization.
User avatar #35571 to #35570 - Major Mayhem (5 hours ago) [-]
I also forgot to mention that I agree with canada's drinking policy. I myself am in the US Military and I'm 19. The fact that I could sign on for my country, potentially die, and not even be able to enjoy a beer or some rum is ridiculous. Also, I don't believe that weed should be decriminalized, referring back to my previous comment.
User avatar #35572 to #35571 - feelythefeel (5 hours ago) [-]
I'd rather be an oxygen thief than an actual thief. Usually when you use marijuana (Incredible stress on usually) the only person your hurting is yourself. The same just can't be said about many other drugs, including alcohol.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't touch the stuff with a five foot long stick. I just don't see the point in going through the trouble of fighting it when there isn't that much harm to be had in the first place.
User avatar #35573 to #35572 - Major Mayhem (5 hours ago) [-]
I agree with some of that, the only problem between alcohol and weed is, you can drink 1 or 2 beers and still retain some lucidity (whether or not you can handle it) if you smoke any amount of weed, you get high and it makes you physically care less about things, such as working or being an overall productive citizen. Also, alcohol is regulated to some degree in most countries such as no drinking in public, public drunkeness, no drunk driving or DUI, so alcohol while it does harm yourself as you stated (and possibly others depending on the persons actions) is in my opinion less harmful to a society's well being than marijuana.

I'm not advocating it be a nonchalant thing. You need to be in a right setup and mindset for it. It is possible to balance marijuana and a productive lifestyle though. It has its addicts, yet what doesn't?

As for that "marijuana makes people lazy", some of the laziest people I've ever known were alcoholics. It's at least as addictive, and it drains the life out of those who can't control themselves. No matter what drugs you let be legal and decide are illegal, someone's going to ruin their lives with them. It's a fact of life.
User avatar #35576 to #35574 - Major Mayhem (5 hours ago) [-]
A very valid point, and I think our generalizations are based off of different areas. Where I'm from, there's far too many people that start to smoke weed, become lazy twats, quit their jobs, and begin to collect welfare solely to support their continuous flow of weed. Which begins the vicious cycle of weed making one lazy. As for alcohol, I know several people (including family members) whose lives have been ruined by alcohol, I'm not saying one is better than the other, it's more of a "pick your poison" type of deal.

Guns.

Not firearms.

Guns.

Any howitzer or field type gun. Holy fuck. I would put them everywhere.

Other than that, I really like bolt-action rifles, preferably those with internal box magazines. I also really like the battle rifles used during the early days of the cold war.

Elegant small arms. In semi-automatic/fully automatic weapons, the machinery and perfectly moving parts is fascinating. I do not like revolvers because they are too simple, same with pretty much anything that explodes because they're just too boring.
User avatar #35527 to #35525 - undeadwill ONLINE (8 hours ago) [-]
I love revolvers not just for their simplicity but for their power, accuracy, and reliability.
I like the Colt single action and the Blackhawk series.

I like all small arms, and even some of the heavier weapons (like heavy machine guns) anything that makes a infantry a deadly foe.
User avatar #35529 to #35527 - pebar (7 hours ago) [-]
I know revolvers are more reliable, but when you have a rifle that can use a chemical explosion to force a projectile down a rotating barrel to stabilize it for its flight, while not letting the recoil go to waste and instead using it to chamber the next round, all with minimal input work from the user while still maintaining that the user retains the necessary skill, it's beautiful. It's like art.
User avatar #35556 to #35529 - arisaka (6 hours ago) [-]
The recoil on piston type riffles is kind of annoying, depending on the type of piston.

Well compared to a rifle its lighter and I like that.
User avatar #35534 to #35531 - pebar (7 hours ago) [-]
more specificly, I like SBRs
but our annoying federal government banned them (more or less) in 1930ish due to gang activity and the supreme court ruled it constitutional because the 2nd amendment only protects military style weapons, which is sooo ironic today.
User avatar #35536 to #35534 - undeadwill ONLINE (7 hours ago) [-]
Where do you live?
Yeah libtards are crazy.

I find the mechanics of small arms to indeed be an art form of everything in the palm of your hand were even the lightest flaw is a death. The beauty of it all.

Gun laws are getting crazy illogical.
User avatar #35542 to #35540 - pebar (7 hours ago) [-]
North Dakota's actually pretty good about it since we're a rural state and have a lot of hunters, not to mention the highest percentage of church goers (I think) of any other state so it's pretty republican. It was one of the few states that tried to go against federal gun laws by making it a civil offense of local officers to assist federal agents in gun-control related crimes. Also, our democratic senator was one of the few democrats who voted against the gun control bill in the spring.

interesting fact: if North Dakota were to secede, we'd be the 3rd largest nuclear power since most of the US's arsenal is stockpiled here.
User avatar #35558 to #35542 - undeadwill ONLINE (6 hours ago) [-]
We should totally secede. Wait for the US economy to crash and then boom secede.

Abortion ban at 22 weeks when the fetus can apparently feel pain just passed the house.
User avatar #35510 to #35506 - oxan (9 hours ago) [-]
How did they determine the fetus could feel pain...?
User avatar #35518 to #35510 - akkere (8 hours ago) [-]
They might've determined that the nervous system starts to develop or is developed at that point, which would lead to feeling pain and the like.

Not quite sure if they'd be able to measure the degree of pain at which a fetus could feel, but they could determine that they might feel something at least.
User avatar #35581 to #35518 - oxan (4 hours ago) [-]
Eh, seems dodgy to me. Unless they're actually testing the fetus, there's no real conclusive way to determine if it can feel pain, as far as I'm aware.
#35511 to #35510 - pebar (9 hours ago) [-]

So what about that genetically modified food?
User avatar #35521 to #35474 - akkere (8 hours ago) [-]
In terms of crops? It has the potential to become something absolutely beneficial to the environment and even nutrition wise, but at its current state, it's also a danger.
It requires quite a bit of regulation;
Labeling is obviously a must, and it might even have to be labeled as "Possibly Dangerous Product"; There was a string of incidents regarding a Genetic modification company called Aventis Starlink, and one of those incidents regarded allergic reactions to the product, due in part that the genetic modification used a Bt Protein.

Another apparent issue; contamination. Aventis had a major issue where, I imagine through pollenation, contaminated other markets' corn and corn products. There was even a dilemma regarding Taco Bell's taco shells.

This also raises an additional problem of the attempt at patenting this sort of thing, to the point that any other farmer found growing it without authorization can get sued (which is what Mon Santo is pushing) - contamination would be a doorway to someone getting sued, even if they never wanted the DNA which got forced into their crop to begin with.

GM's a double edged sword - it can be beneficial; I remember reading a scientist who specialized in genetically modifying corn and was actively working to stopping hunger in some poor nations. On top of the added possibility of limited to non-existent chemical presence which causes severe environmental damage as well as economic plus with products like corn needing littler cost, it's something that should definitely be pursued. Hell, it could even help farmers reach a state where they don't have to struggle to make ends meet.

But on the corporate end, it definitely requires a large deal of supervision.
User avatar #35522 to #35521 - undeadwill ONLINE (8 hours ago) [-]
Labeling it as a dangerous product even if their is no proof can be just as damaging. Let the people who care about what they eat do the research rather than displaying something that is nonfactual.

Its why they made the food sterile in many cases.

The issue with patents is that they have lasted too long (50 years plus the life of the owner) Thanks didney wurl. But also farmers should also keep test samples and companies should make a genetic trade mark.
User avatar #35526 to #35522 - akkere (8 hours ago) [-]
Synthesized proteins always have a polar risk, especially when you start producing enzymes that can mimic the nature of a pesticide or a chemical. Because GM is still very young in its advancements, the need for warning should be present, because there's plenty of people that have no idea of the scope of GM outside of its potential. Though it doesn't have to be labeled straight up "DANGER", it will still need a sign that heavily emphasizes its status as a GM food and, if the proteins were never fully tested to showing minimal allergic reactions, requires a label that presents the possibility of risks from these synthesized modifications.

Companies should have some form of genetic trade mark to go by the credit of their earnings, but with the way the patent system is designed, it simply doesn't fit the perquisites for a patent of the nature of genetic modification, beyond just the 50 + life of owner shtick. As GM starts to develop, we'd need to open up a complete department in the Patent offices followed by a crew consisting of both law majors and biological and genetic science and engineering majors, to fully work out how a genetic modification could be patented, if we'd even go the direction of having them be allowed to be patented at all.
User avatar #35528 to #35526 - undeadwill ONLINE (8 hours ago) [-]
If you label "Danger" You will crush the industry and the project will be forgotten.

And allergic reactions change from person to person. Now if you want to worry about allergic reactions label that but a flat out "Danger" will just crush the industry.

No you need to put it on the company to show the genetic info and proof that there was on a large scale operation that is using their product without consent and if so that harvest must be labeled GMO.
User avatar #35530 to #35528 - akkere (7 hours ago) [-]
Labeling it "DANGER" is obviously going to be ridiculous, but having a system of labeling might be a requirement that shows the degree of testing on the GM vs. the level of negativity (or positivity) found towards the probable allergic reaction.

Overall, GM is going to require a lot of systems to be established.
User avatar #35532 to #35530 - undeadwill ONLINE (7 hours ago) [-]
Or.
We could just label it GMO and let the smarter consumer decide if he wants to buy it or not.
And I hope not.
User avatar #35533 to #35532 - akkere (7 hours ago) [-]
That's too simplified, and that would risk the industry of being destroyed even more, because if the products do start turning up with allergic reactions (or if people fake allergic reactions), then you end up with a mixture of paranoia and outrage at the lack of a more refined system being implemented that risks not only harming the industry, but also rendering it permanently scarred when everyone starts to automatically turn their heads sideways at the sight of the acronym "GM" of any sort.

Refined system ensures a sense of security, sense of security ensures abolishment of any fears towards the subject of GM, GM slowly integrates itself into becoming more and more accepted into the general public, then when GM starts to achieve a more wider stance, it doesn't have any obstacles strangling it; only filtration systems that prevent harmful GMs from striking paranoia in GM in general.
User avatar #35535 to #35533 - undeadwill ONLINE (7 hours ago) [-]
.....
Did i not just say it would be labeled "Those allergic to _____ should avoid this as it may contain this"

Then be fucking sensible about it sweet Christ! Let the people decide what they want to eat!
User avatar #35541 to #35535 - akkere (7 hours ago) [-]
And I'm telling you it doesn't work like that.

You can't just say "those allergic to _____" because you're not writing down "peanuts, walnuts, oats type genes" you're writing completely new and sometimes hard-to-find genetic protein labels.

Starlink's protein was named Cry9C, for example. Looking that protein up you'll find a scrap of information that will be difficult to understand if you don't have immediate know-how on phrasing used in biological and genetic science. That's just the way these things work.

That's why you HAVE to implement a system that people can immediately read - like a color code or a number rating system - that averages out the amount of testing done on the modified proteins and enzymes vs. the problem rate found in the testing.

If you leave it to just "HEY, IF YOU'RE ALLERGIC TO CX26-Z30, YOU GOT A PROBLEM!", you're going to find a lot of people simply not buying the products - whether they're good or not - because they have no idea how to approach something like that.
User avatar #35543 to #35541 - undeadwill ONLINE (7 hours ago) [-]
...Maybe those who have allergic reactions will ask their doctors for a test for it.

Same thing with peanuts and every other allergy scare before we will create a test and label for it.

Most people don't have issue with allegies so they will ignore it.

But a label will fuel the organic food nuts who say "See it got a label if it was safe they wouldn't need a label!" But a few allergic reactions allow us to open the public to the drawbacks and allow them self to test themselves,
User avatar #35544 to #35543 - akkere (7 hours ago) [-]
Doctors would have to wait for a report to be generated by the offices regarding that protein's documentation. It's more probable that people will just buy it to try it and put themselves at risk or simply not buy into the industry at all.

Most people have also never consumed a vegetable which contained a protein that became it's own pesticide.

A label in general is going to fuel the organic food nuts no matter what, a refined label system will abolish whatever accusations they could have because it's fleshed out to a point beyond just "HEY, CONTAINS PROTEIN X, SOME ARE ALLERGIC, EY".

And under no circumstances should the public ever become guinea pigs. When allergic reactions appear, they're going to be drastic enough to harm the industry because there was never any proper information being circulated to the public regarding the genetic modifications, and that alone will be enough to murder the industry.
User avatar #35545 to #35544 - undeadwill ONLINE (7 hours ago) [-]
Again the same thing can be said about peanuts and other things.

The allergic reactions are limited to a few substances and the one you mentioned which does not effect all GMO products.
User avatar #35547 to #35545 - akkere (6 hours ago) [-]
Except the rules of allergies in natural foods don't apply to GM.

When corn gets GM'd to be a pesticide, it's generally modified in such a way that it produces a bacteria; this is the basis for the pesticide. Bt corn was created to produce the bacterial Bt toxin, which was effective against the European Corn borer.

A dilemma arises in which, the pest that is being fought against is capable of evolving against its newfound opponent. The European corn borer has even shown capability of developing a resistance against the Bt, and the fact that a quarter of farmers using Bt aren't complying with the rules that were put in place to minimize resistance of Bt in place, that means that they'll need a new GM to produce either a strong bacteria or a new bacteria entirely.

This means that the food is going to have to change. And when it changes, it's going to need the public to be notified all across the board, and they'll have to either find out if the new protein + the bacteria is safe for them by being guinea pigs, or by having it tested and labeled appropriately.

The general public doesn't understand how drastic the changes can be and how what they weren't allergic too before could be a different story because a more viral variation of bacteria was needed.

I don't understand why you're protesting a labeling function that could not only allow GM to run more efficiently but also ensure the safety and security of the public while minimizing all chances of a fiasco.
User avatar #35550 to #35547 - undeadwill ONLINE (6 hours ago) [-]
Let me just ask you something when you put warning on tobacco does it or does it no discourage buying it? And allow for organic food people to say "Do you want to take the risk of eating this? Even the government agrees its dangerous!"

Without tests it will not matter what you label it.
User avatar #35560 to #35550 - akkere (6 hours ago) [-]
....
I'm not asking for it to just be a single solitary warning label.

I'm asking for a system of labels that clarify the level of safety for the GM product.
The organic food people would not be able to say that the government says something is dangerous if the label claims it's safe or has a high degree of safety.

It RUNS ON TESTS, that's what the whole thing averages out against.
User avatar #35586 to #35560 - undeadwill ONLINE (3 hours ago) [-]
Then say that. But don't ramble on how bad GMO's are and that we need to label them as dangerous products that can cause allergic reactions.
User avatar #35551 to #35550 - undeadwill ONLINE (6 hours ago) [-]
Not*
User avatar #35493 to #35474 - pebar (10 hours ago) [-]
If plants can be modified to "naturally" produce a pesticide, for example, that increase yield and reduce input costs and chemical runoff into rivers thus lowering the market price and the environmental impact, and it has been shown to be non-toxic to humans,

I'm all for it.
User avatar #35495 to #35493 - undeadwill ONLINE (10 hours ago) [-]
indeed.
User avatar #35497 to #35495 - pebar (10 hours ago) [-]
but it should still be labeled so that people can still make the choice of what to buy on their own
User avatar #35502 to #35497 - undeadwill ONLINE (9 hours ago) [-]
I agree.

But then again they might label it say "Dangerous product eat at your own risk" Shit that I hate.

User avatar #35489 to #35486 - naxo (10 hours ago) [-]
Shall we talk about risk of harm from GM food, whether GM food should be labeled, the role of government regulators, the effect of GM crops on the environment, the impact of GM crops for farmers, the role of GM crops in feeding the growing world population, or GM crops as part of the industrial agriculture system.
User avatar #35492 to #35489 - undeadwill ONLINE (10 hours ago) [-]
Any one of them you choose. All of those factor into its legality.
User avatar #35515 to #35492 - naxo (9 hours ago) [-]
Risk of harm from GM food:
I've only done basic research on the topic of Round-up Ready Soybeans for a school assignment 2 years ago. From what I saw we have multinational agricultural biotechnology corporations like Monsanto who make the genetically modified products releasing statements saying that the products are safe for human consumption and on the other hand we have intellectuals like Dr. Judy Carman, Dr. Lennart Hardell, Dr. Mikael Eriksson and Peter A. Bowler claiming that there are dangers including cancer and various birth defects.

Personally, I agree with partially agree with pebar. If there are environmental or economic benefits in the short and long term and if, and only if, there is unanimous or widely-agreed scientific research stating that it is safe for human consumption in the short and long term then I am for the use of genetic modification in food products.

Whether GM food should be labeled, the role of government regulators:
Yes, most definitely. I want to know if the food I eat has been genetically modified, and I would like to know specifically what has been modified.

The effect of GM crops on the environment:
Sort of related to my first paragraph. Under the mentioned parameters I would support the use of GM crops, especially for environmental benefit.

The impact of GM crops for farmers:
I haven't done much research on it. But from what I saw there has been a bit of a shitstorm with copious suing occurring from both sides..

The role of GM crops in feeding the growing world population:
I believe that, under the parameters stated in the first paragraph, GM food could play a vital role in feeding the growing world population.
User avatar #35517 to #35515 - undeadwill ONLINE (9 hours ago) [-]
Everything can cause cancer its all about the dose. I would like to see the evidence for birth defects.

You could pick up and read a consumer report or do research of the products you buy every once and a while.

The issue with GM crops on farmers is directly related to the fact of how long patents exist now.


Not agreeing just adding in info.

Free will is making decisions unconstrained by other factors.

Based David Duke wrote a new book on the topic of Jewish commies, to be available soon.

www.davidduke.com/mp3/TheSecretBehindCommunismIntro.pdf

This book exposes the little known fact that Zionism and Communism have similar ethnic and ideological roots. Karl Marx was descended from a long line of Talmudic scholars, and he learned much of his communist theory from Moses Hess, who later morphed into a rabid Jewish racial supremacist and Zionist.
...
Why is there so much emotional attachment to the Holocaust DJ 4DM1Nistered against Jews and so little attention on a much larger Holocaust DJ 4DM1Nistered by Jews. The answers to all these questions — and much more —will be found in the forthcoming pages of this book.

The Zionist/globalist bankers made a deal with Britain and the united states at the end of the first world war wich is that if You both dont promish the state of isreal for the Jews then we will release ''Jewish Bolshevism'' upon your lands

And the Goverments knew verry clearly what the dangers of ''Jewish Bolshevism'' were like the burning the livestock of russian peasents to starve them

Duke will most likely mention, in his section on 1905, this Jew, who was responsible for Russia's loss in the Russo-Japanese War which fueled the failed 1905 revolution.

Jacob Schiff was a typical Wall Street Jew who held a grudge against the Russian Empire for not letting his fellow tribesmen run free and hold control over government institutions. The Jews were restricted to living in only the districts near the Ukraine.

War between the Tzar and Japan was inevitable by the turn of the century due to land disputes in Manchuria and Korea. The Tzar's adviser for the contended region, I remember reading, was the owner of a Russian log-cutting company with interests there. Although Russia's military was far from modern, Japan's was feudal. The Russians entered conflict with them so as to expect a decisive victory. Russian society turned patriotic, Lvov took it to himself to DJ 4DM1Nister charity.

Behind the scenes, however, picture related gave charity of his own. He gifted 200 million dollars, with extension, to the Japanese who in turned used it to fund their military. Obviously, Russia could not overcome such a thing (the fighting was many miles away from St. Petersburg), and lost the war. It was the first war in which a European power lost to a non-European power. The Russian people saw this as the fault of an incompetent Tzar, and so did the 1905 Revolution become a fact. More representation in government, the Russians argued, would be the only solution to the ills which caused such a defeat.

While Russia was amidst in chaos, Schiff was awarded the Order of the Sacred Treasure and later the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Star in Japan. He was given them personally by the emperor; the first foreigner to have had such an honor. This, no doubt, had much to do with later Japanese friendliness towards Jews during its alliance with Germany.

A fun fact is that Schiff's descendant married Al Gore's daughter, Karenna Gore Schiff and has three children.

tl;dr Schiff, a Jew, funds Japan, fucks over Russia, causes the 1905 revolution. It is an interesting story and rarely mentioned in history books. What I have read on the Russo-Japanese war made it seem like it was Russia's disorganization which caused the loss (e.i. Russian generals ordering their troops to charge into artillery).
User avatar #35505 to #35503 - pebar (9 hours ago) [-]
Same thing happened to everyone during that time, especially during WW1. Rapidly expanding industry creating devastating news weapons such as machine guns that would massacre anyone who dared to attempt a charge, which before that time was a common practice in war.

It definitely was a factor, but the revelation of financial funds from Wall Street was what caused the defeat of Russia. Japanese war tactics were not any better than Russia's.

Much of those who died could have lived if their generals could fight via advanced tactics, that is true. Japan was able to overpower Russia in the end, though, only with the excess munitions they purchased through Schiff's loans.

They still think Communism is workable, and not a ploy. While the bureaucrats dined like the bourgeois used to during the post Civil War Soviet Union, the laborers had to work more for less with empty stomachs. That is Communism.

And:

'There were 217,061 workers employed in the coal industry in 1926-27. Production per man is still very low by western standards, though in the past two years it has increased 32 per cent. The monthly coal output per surface miner in the Donetz Basin in 1913 was 58.2 metric tons; in 1927-28 it was 62.1 metric tons. However, production per man for all workers was still below that of 1913, due to the reduction of working hours. In 1913 surface workers had a workday of 10 to 12 hours and underground men 8 to 10 hours. At present surface men have a workday of 8 hours and underground men 6 hours. Wages are double those of 1913, plus cheap rent, vacations with pay and social insurance'

www.marxists.org/history/ussr/government/1928/sufds/ch05.htm

'The labor efficiency has risen through better industrial processes and better machinery. Output per worker in the Soviet Union is still low by Western European standards, but it has been showing a healthy rate of advance. The advance has been aided by a campaign against absenteeism. In 1913 the days of actual work per worker in industry were 257. In the fiscal year 1921-22 they had fallen to 219.5. In 1926-27 they were 262.1.

On the other hand the length of the normal working day, which was 10 hours before the war, was reduced to 8 hours at the beginning of the Soviet régime, and for dangerous occupations to 6 hours. During 1926-27 the working day averaged 7.5 hours.'

AT the close of 1927 the output of Soviet industries was estimated at 10 per cent above pre-war, while the labor force was about equal to that of 1913. The gain in labor efficiency is the more marked when one considers that the length of the average working day has been reduced by about 25 per cent as compared with 1913.

Real wages for workers in industry in 1926-27 were about 1 per cent above those of 1913. This does not take account of the various additional benefits and services received gratis by the workers. As a charge upon the industries these benefits and services make an addition amounting to 32 per cent of the total payroll.

You can point to these statistics, and much of it is true I assume, but it was largely the result of industrialization. Any type of a revolutionary government could have pulled this off. I am not arguing that living standards under the Tzar were well, they were far from it.

These claims do come from Marxists.com so I will look more into it. Do the wages of the workers take into account the inflation of the Russian ruble, for example?

The greatest advances in industry - the period in which the Union 'industrialised' - was during the beginnings of the socialist phase. It became the second largest economic power during this time. Other countries industrialised with little to no labour laws, and the USSR did it with the average working day being about 8 hours. Soviet development is unmatched.

Moscow, August 16, 1930--although "free speech" and a "free press" in the western sense are unknown in Soviet Russia, Moscow newspapers are now indulging in such a loud chorus of complaints, rebukes, and pessimism as has probably not been equaled since Jeremiah was the "official spokesman" of Israel.

Thus, side-by-side with all the self-praise and glorification I have mentioned, the Soviet press throughout the war period carried sharp criticisms of party and state officials. Over a period of months I collected literally hundreds of items of this nature, covering a wide variety of activity. Probably the most numerous reprimands and warnings were addressed to officials responsible for weaknesses in the production system.
Slipshod methods of harvesting, which resulted in great losses of grain, were continuously criticized in specific regions. Individual officials caught in the wrongful use or appropriation of state property were singled out as examples. Instances of losses due to poor packing and shipment of manufactured goods were frequently cited, and engineers responsible for waste of metals and materials were upbraided. Outright thefts of materials and embezzlement of funds were exposed and cases of bribery of state employees were frequently reported in the Government and party press.
Blockheadedness, indifference to duty, and evasion of responsibility by officials and bureaucrats were the subject of many editorials and newspaper stories, in which individuals and localities were often mentioned by name. The detail into which these criticisms enter is frequently surprising....
...Other town fathers were rebuked for failing to provide adequate living quarters, for inhuman bureaucracy, for falsifying reports, for neglecting improvements in the school system, and so on.

...Open criticism of different party branches for failure to accomplish their educational and organizational duties, in the rear and at the front, also, usually preceded or coincided with dismissals and new appointments. And from the extent of such criticism in the press it was evident that a process of change and reform was going on all the time.
Snow, Edgar. The Pattern of Soviet Power, New York: Random House, 1945, p. 207

Stalin continued his criticism of party leaders by discussing another familiar topic: the "verification of fulfillment of decisions."... Stalin stated, "There is still another kind of verification, the check-up from below, in which the masses, the subordinates, verify the leaders, pointing out their mistakes, and showing the way to correct them. This kind of verification is one of the most effective methods of checking up on people."
Stalin stated, "Some comrades say that it is not advisable to speak openly of one's mistakes, since the open admission of one's mistakes may be construed by our enemies as weakness and may be used by them.
This is rubbish, comrades, downright rubbish. The open recognition of our mistakes and their honest rectification can, on the contrary, only strengthen our party, raise its authority in the eyes of the workers, peasants, and working intellectuals.... And this is the main thing. As long as we have the workers, peasants, and working intellectuals with us, all the rest will settle itself."

And some more:

Of course, criticism had been strongly encouraged during the purges, and local records contain plenty of it. The press strongly endorsed criticism from below at the end of 1938.
Thurston, Robert. Life and Terror in Stalin's Russia, 1934-1941. New Haven: Yale University Press, c1996, p. 161

The regime regularly urged people to criticize local conditions as well as leaders, at least those below an exalted level.... Pravda went so far as to identify lack of criticism with enemies of the people: "Only an enemy is interested in saying that we, the Bolsheviks... do not notice actual reality.... Only an enemy... strives to put the rose-colored glasses of self-satisfaction over the eyes of our people." As the Zawodny materials and a mass of other evidence show, these calls were by no means merely a vicious sham that permitted only carefully chosen, reliable individuals to make "safe" criticisms.

Your system is based on the ideas that you are all one people and have more in common with the church than you realize. That each man is a slave to his neighbor.

You keep everyone down so that every man is a slave to his neighbor. By denying everyone the right to trade or sell labor you make everyone a slave to their neighbor.

No one's being held back. The only thing you cannot do is enslave others. If you think slavery is justified so long as someone can afford to purchase slaves, then this isn't really worth my time, is it?

We have been over this the free trade of labor for resources is not slavery. Slavery means you own that person which you just can't claim in today's society.

On political charts religions from Buddhism and Christianity both score on the collectivist side along side communists.

These are some posts I've made on the subject.

Communism is a religion like Buddhism, or Confucianism. No god a but more of philosophy disguising itself as a economic policy but in reality it is no different than many other religious in its nature, it believes that suffering make you great, that greed is evil, that selfishness of any king is evil. It tries to eliminate any other faiths because their holy book says that it is the opium of the people. Believe in the Jihad, crusade but they use the word "Revolution". It leads to a all powerful state ruling as a god till "Judgement day" when all of the nonbelievers (Capitalists) were killed off. Then they engage in "True" communism that is akin to HEAVEN. Communism is a religion plain and simple.

Because communism is a religion disguised as a economic system that plays off a worker's misguided anger but is another bit of twisted morality like every other religion of altruism.
It follows the same guide lines
One other gods before me (Which is why they seek to destroy all the other religions that would harm their faith and side track it.)
Love thy neighbor
Etc.
And have a revolution (Crusade Jihad what ever word works best) to share its "truth"

It wants to share the "truth" of its word with the world whether they want it or now. and when you question it they react the same manner of "You just don't get it"

Before anyone says "Well we don't believe in a god" Neither did Confucianism or Buddhism both were life philosophies.

Hell it even as a heaven and hell. Hell is imperialism and heaven is that final stateless, moneyless, classless society.

Then in what way does communism mean that man is enslaved by his neighbour? You're the one that brought up slavery in the first place.

>that greed is evil, that selfishness of any king is evil.
So are all forms of morality a religion?

>It tries to eliminate any other faiths because their holy book says that it is the opium of the people
It opposes religion because it is the opium of the people. It opposes other ideologies because they're dangerous - you know, the way Germany outlaws Nazism, because it's dangerous.

>Believe in the Jihad, crusade but they use the word "Revolution"
So, capitalism is a religion? What, you think the bourgeoisie didn't take control during a revolution? Is industry a religion because of the Industrial Revolution?

> It leads to a all powerful state ruling
Because states don't rule now?

User avatar #35612 to #35608 - undeadwill ONLINE (2 hours ago) [-]
In capitalism society*

Imposed morality is basis of all religions.

"I have to kill you because you don't agree that my faith is a faith of peace"

To claim industry is faith because of a revolution in technology is to say the existence of worship of a fire god and a wheel god. You can not sit there and smugly make an illogical connection to an revolution of technology to that of one

It leads to an absolute fascist state because of the destruction of all of the other means of power that the people can take hold of.

User avatar #35616 to #35612 - oxan (2 hours ago) [-]
What?

And you're looking to impose a morality, too. Well, to be fair, you're looking to maintain a moral system - bourgeois morality.

I never indicated a support such a thing. Just like there's no one that advocates a return to feudalism, there will be no one who advocates a return to capitalism.

But you can make smug and illogical connections to socialist revolutions being equal to the Crusades?

What rubbish. It leads to a stateless society, and does not inherently lead to a fascist state.

>when all of the nonbelievers (Capitalists) were killed off.
Rather, when false consciousness has been eliminated, the entire world has achieved socialism, and then the process of the withering away of the state takes place.

>disguised as a economic system
It is an economic system...

> plays off a worker's misguided anger
Xenophobia would is more akin to misguided anger. Good thing we're internationalists.

>It wants to share the "truth" of its word with the world whether they want it or no[t].

So basically when everyone else is killed off.

No its a collectivist system that requires the absence

No you are not internationalist, in any positive sense of the word, you want just want world domination you care not for the existence of others so long as they bow to the will of communism

We share the truth of freedom you of oppression and a misguided equality.

Because the bourgeoisie physically eliminated everyone who didn't accept bourgeois ideology, right? No, rather people came to accept it.

User avatar #35619 to #35618 - undeadwill ONLINE (2 hours ago) [-]
We are nationalist, we don't forcefully seek to eliminate our enemies across nations but rather focus on home.

Absence of any free will or institution to challenge the notion.

If you claim we are internationalist only in the regard of war, genocide, and imperialism than that is not sort of internationalism but rather war mongering.

You seek freedom for workers only because you've never run or owned a business because you have not used capitalism you do not understand it. And you are for oppression of human free will and the voluntary exchange of labor and goods.

Anarcho capitalism is not perfect but it is free.

Well that was less fun then I thought it would be, no matter, on the actual topic it really depends on if or not these labourers are skilled, or if they're filling in a gap in the market or what, by making them citizens it makes minimum wage laws apply to them (in theory) so this is going to have more kick then they're thinking, or they're aware of it and looking the other way like many things in the American Government,.
User avatar #35439 to #35436 - pebar (13 hours ago) [-]
As far as I know, skilled workers are able to immigrate fairly easily; it's the unskilled workers who are forced to come through illegally. I agree with the minimum wage part. These immigrants will be left unemployed so they'll be competing with citizens ( who are eligible for welfare) so more will be left on government assistance and further ruin the government spending problem. Even if their income is taxed to increase revenue, this extra revenue will only cause the government to increase spending on other things just because they can. Big government = big problem.

The fascist economic system relies on a country going to war constantly, war is good for the economy, it thins the labour force and creates a massive demand for goods which employs massive amounts of people, fascists use war to keep the economy going smoothly and to expand their living space and resource pool, they usually do this by nationalizing core industries or having them under strict control saying they must produce x you can't have this with liberalism it's a core aspect of fascism.

It feels like the people supporting the Republican and Democratic Party are ideologically pretty different. However the politicians themselves in practice are very similar, especially when it comes to matters of foreign policy and national security. There hardly seems to be any difference between the Obama and the Bush DJ 4DM1Nistration.

Am I just being a cynical fuck, or is there some truth to this?
User avatar #35274 to #35252 - undeadwill ONLINE (06/18/2013) [-]
They are the same only thing that changed was the sponsors and wording. The demographics they payed off etc.
User avatar #35262 to #35252 - byposted (06/18/2013) [-]
There is a distinction between the presidential run and the members of legislature, who represent their districts. Mitt Romney was too similar to Barack Obama to have had the election satisfy opinionated voters, since presidential elections need to appeal to the masses, thus tuning in moderation. If you had watched any of the presidential debates between them, it would have seemed more like a complementary conversation between two ideologically similar adults than a debate; they agreed left and right on important issues and only came to question eachother on petty subjects, drowning themselves in party dogma. The foreign policy "debate" was especially a laugh.

That being said, the Republican Party is the lesser of two evils, with libertarian and conservative elements influencing it. The mainline politicians like John Boner symbolize all that is wrong with trying to appeal to the average idiot, and there is a growing movement for purification. You should hope that the Democrats do not get their hands on the house, which is the only check from complete libturd control. As it stands now with both parties, it is best that they stay divided between the two houses of congress.

The two party system is a failure, it is true. All that the people stand for does not matter at the end, because there is a severe lack of critique. Where are the libturds who are up in arms about the NSA scandal? Where are the Conservatives who are pressing Obama to give amnesty to Snowden, as a hero? The libturds can't challenge their god and the Conservatives are caught in the web of the neocons, who do not represent Conservatism.

Anyone actually understand tumblr's fascination with gender politics? I have a friend and a sibling who are into it and I can't figure out why it seems to be such an obsession for them.
User avatar #35234 to #35209 - undeadwill ONLINE (06/17/2013) [-]
Well democrats focus on gender issues because they know the only way to win any ground among the people is to create a idea that women aren't equal by means of misinterpreted statistics on the issue of wages among the genders and that they are the champion of feminism.
Democrats are more common in cities and so when tumblr came up they took off with it. Not to mention that tumblr incorporates blogs into its website so those feminist bloggers quickly took off with it.

My theory on it.

That's Gender Dysphoia. I probably spelt it wrong. But it's a legit medical condition, with no known cure or cause. They're not really harming anyone by being transgender, so I don't mind them.

It does alot more harm then good for the movements, why would you want to be a walking streotype of the reasons people hate you, it's genuinely not smart, I think they should be banned personally mostly because it does backlash horribly against them here it's for their own safety at the end of the day it also hurts their movement so much, I remember we had a gay pride in my city and nationalists/social reactionaries/social conservatives simply were not having it.

I was watching the desion of prop 8 on TV and there was this "Thing" (not sure what gender) wearing pick and tutu and I was thinking "You fucking moron, this isn't a gay pride rally the enemy is parked right outside and this is national television you fucking retard."

However gay pride parades are meant to bring business to the gay districts and a big meet up of the gay district. I didn't see allot of politics when we went there.

Mostly just good fun and a event that people enjoy. You can find many church groups, business that appeals to gays and lesbians (porn, clothing stores etc.)
#35242 to #35238 - valeriya (06/17/2013) [-]
I can understand it from a buisness point of view we don't really have gay districts it's not taboo to be openly gay it's taboo to be the "LOOK AT ME I'M gay" gay, but it doesn't have to occupy public space, you can just as easily rent out a hall have some stalls or whatever you god damn want it's your event hire some security and have an a lot more pleasant time without making yourself a target for other groups, once again not saying go back into the closet I'm saying don't wave your dick around because people don't like it.

The parade here went through the gay district where most of the gay bars are.

Didn't see allot of "Look at this flaming faggot" (Then again this is Texas...)
I saw some sexy bears, fabulous cowboys, dikes on bikes, a fuck ton of churches, bars, some gay rights groups, the businesses who paid for it, (Homo Depo, Star fucks etc.) and groups that help gay youth.

Libertarians tend to want to replace income tax entirely with sales tax which I'm very skeptical on.
There are certain regulations on business that I favor, such limits on false advertising, quality regulation, etc.
There are some things that I think should be socialized such as k-12 education (no vouchers, but allow private schools) and emergency healthcare for physical trauma (ie broken bones, stitches, necessary surgery due to car accidents etc) but not for things like cancer or obesity because then the gov would have an excuse to tell you how to live your life.
Totally free market creates massive uncertainty of the future and that is potentially the most devastating thing for an economy.
User avatar #35268 to #35256 - undeadwill ONLINE (06/18/2013) [-]
We also want a flat tax rate for all Americans. (We just hate income tax)
We aren't against that but we are often slow and cautious with regulations if any are necessary to exist.
We wouldn't get rid of those for the simple reason they are too well ingrained in our society.
In times of plenty we prepare for times of struggle. That is the basis of capitalism.
User avatar #35280 to #35268 - pebar (06/18/2013) [-]
