DO YOU THINK YOU ... ( 3 weeks ago by delsur2009)
DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE AN ARGUMENT? what you have it's call : DELUSION!!
See. Just saying I ... ( 3 weeks ago by marcoantoniocosta)
See. Just saying I have a delusion is not an argument. You have to point it out and support it with facts. And no, saying: 'Capitalism is criminal! This is fact!' is not fact either.
Do you more facts ... ( 3 weeks ago by delsur2009)
Do you more facts than reality? OMG you just blind!! in which planet do you live?
SO did you read ... ( 3 weeks ago by delsur2009)
SO did you read GALEANO? or just stared at it? or maybe only glanced at it? C'omon who the heck do not know who was Friedman or Von Hayek? they represent those people who promote -like you- the killing of others...
OH you will read ... ( 3 weeks ago by delsur2009)
OH you will read GALEANO??? GREAT MY FRIEND !!!
Yep, and I hope you ... ( 3 weeks ago by marcoantoniocosta)
Yep, and I hope you will also look up the work of Friedman, Hayek, Mises and other freedom proponents so you can get your facts firsthand, and not all from Naomi Klein's accounts, which I can say are very biased, having looked at both sides of the argument.
And please do not ... ( 3 weeks ago by delsur2009)
And please do not ask me to separate IMPERIALISM, CAPITALISM, TYRANNY or do some magic...I am not magician!! to make water you just cannot separate the OXYGEN from HYDROGEN...do not try to confuse people!!

My professor wants ... ( 3 weeks ago by TheCaucasoid)
My professor wants us to by this book as part of the course reading material. I refuse to buy/read it. I spent time in the middle east in '99 and '01. Many of the locals I met in UAE,Bahrain,Oman told me they would like to see Saddam gone, and for Iraq to act as a world team player just like them. Hey Naomi, why did I witness numerious gigantic Canaidian oil tankers in the Persian Gulf? So many Caniadian,European,Japanese,S.Korean,Russian,Brazillian, and Indi tankers "filling up" in Jebel Ali.
How amazing would ... ( 3 weeks ago by Canadianmaryann)
How amazing would it be if 'The Shock Doctrine' was suddenly sold to the general public, and not just the university of "we know everything?" Hmmm, just found the book in Costco in Canada, and my wee little college-sized brain managed to grasp the ideas, read through all those hard words, and have been passing along this more than 200 page book (with no pictures even - duh) to all of my fellow idiots. Imagine if we can all figure it out?
Gollee!! You alls would be amazed!!
You may want to ... ( 3 weeks ago by Canadianmaryann)
You may want to learn more about Canada's natural resouces. If Cadaidian (SP) tankers were in the area, they were likely cleaning up oil spills. Where is Canaidia anyway? Canadian troops are in Afghanistan to this day, fighting, what was his name, oh ya Osama Bin Laden..did ya all forget about him??
If your Mom becomes ... ( 3 weeks ago by Canadianmaryann)
If your Mom becomes sick and unable to work, woul you prefer her to beg on a street corner for food, or have health care, and support to live? I think the issue is about taking care of the poor and sick. Even wild animals do that for their families.
man, I can say I ... ( 2 weeks ago by weili42)
man, I can say I spent time in south America in '99 and
 '01. Many of the locals I met told me they would like to see the US gone. Go ask Iraqis.

Like Canada and Iraq, South America thanks the U.S. for shipping over the wonderful automobiles, medicine, medical equipment, baby diapers, potatoes, macintosh computers, movies, T.V. shows, airplanes, restaurants, the list goes on. America is well liked. Tens of thousands of tourists today from around the world in California, Vegas, U.S National/State Parks, NYC, Florida, and at roller coaster venues. U.S. has the most international students. Best entertainment and world aid comes from U.S.

Wild animals actually kill their sick & lame. The sick/lame weaken the pack.
"As long as ... ( 2 weeks ago by mose3)
"As long as politics is the shadow cast on society by big business, the attenuation of the shadow will not change the substance." "We can have facts without thinking but we cannot have thinking without facts." "Every thinker puts some portion of an apparently stable world in peril." John Dewey

The right wing think tanks are running on empty. See how the neocon numsculls run to the Government and beg like junkies in the wellfare office, as soon as they get into a little bit of trouble. Use their own rules of capitalism back on them.

"It is only after ... ( 1 week ago by Nullifidian)
"It is only after the ideals of freedom and self-ownership that bootstrapped capitalism that persons were able to keep the fruits of their labor." On the contrary, people are *not* able to keep the fruits of their labour. This obvious fact is why Marx invented the surplus value theory of labour. It is the fruits of one's labour which are taken out of one's hands and sold for profit. The workers create far more wealth than they could need, but they are shut out of sharing in this wealth.
Then we're closer ... ( 4 days ago by marcoantoniocosta)
Then we're closer ideologically than you think. 'Anti-capitalism' does not mean anything by itself. Are you against private property? Freedom of association, contract and work? If so, you're a collectivist anarchist. If you think hard about it, you'll realize that a collectivist anarchy in the absence of the price system would need a centralized command economy, and that would necessarily entail an authority i.e. a State. So you can be anti-state, or 'anti-Capitalist' but you can't be both.
