yeah and Link is from Zelda. It's my username over at another site. I loved Majin Buu, when the Fat Buu became friends with Hercule/Mr. Satan. He was really funny, and that part of the saga was a lot like the old Dragonball minus Z which I enjoy.

You know that the 6th Congress of the Comintern declared Social Democracy and Fascism to be twin sisters, puppets of the corporate/capitalist machine therefore enemies of the Communist ideal.
Just a little bit of history.

That was a great series. I particularly liked when Vegeta sacrifices himself to try to stop Buu.

And Picolo tells him..he's basically screwed no matter what he does. There's no afterlife waiting for him.

Man..

Many have shunned Social Democracy. I know my history, and modern social democracy and fascism are polar opposites.

They had their fantasies also.

America today is not unlike a social democratic system. Well, when it works....

Around election time, Diebold, ES&S, Sequoia, and Citizens United reveal the true nature of this nation as growing ever more fascist

Learn more history kiddo.

EDIT: And a question...


Just what is it about Social Democracy that appeals to you?

oh cool red baiting.

 

[JBeukema]

So you identify as a Social Democrat but won't tell us whether you're old school SD (evolutionary communist) or new school (welfare state capitalism) SD?

Or maybe you're a democratic socialist in poor disguise?

are you saying modern social democracy is like fascism? Take in account that in most social democratic country, Norway has a maximum prison sentence of 21 years, no death penalty, the police do not normally carry guns, is one of the most peaceful countries on earth, ranks high on the democracy index, and has one of the highest if not the highest standard of living. Are any of those things fascist?

I know there are corruptions and exceptions in any form of government, but fascism is defiantly on the far-right on social issues.

As far as what appeals to me about social democracy is the equality in stuff like health care and education. Not to mention it promotes economic democracy as well, instead of economic dictatorship. Mixed economies are the way to go, supporters of true free markets, don't realize that that Capitalism spawned Socialism. If workers were not treated like dirt then they wouldn't have formed unions, if governments had cared about their people they wouldn't have rebelled, and if companies cared more about their customers than their profits they wouldn't have to be regulated.

Interesting... the time between your responses seems to be about the same as it takes read a wikipedia and an encyclopedia brittanica article.

and your response time is about as much as it takes to make a baseless personal attack.

 

[JBeukema]

You keep evading...

Why won't you answer the question?

Evolutionary communism or welfare state capitalism?

You reek of bullshit...
