Happy May Day comrades!

[Master]

Blaze your own trail on your own then as an individual. Stop hassling your fellow comrades.

Master let's say we were in the same class together. Let's assume that you're really awesome in school and you make straight A's. With those straight A's you can get into any university you please, and make straight A's there and go on and have any job, any profession you like ok?

Well if the schools you went to adjusted their academic policy to match the economic policies you love and cherish so much then you being the 1% of top grade earners would have to sacrifice your great grades for lower grades so that your entire class would be on the same level yes? And with that happening you go from straight A student to C student...being a C student limits your options for university. Being a C student at university limits your options for employment.

You worked for A's, you EARNED A's....yet you're telling me that you're going to be happy with C's because you've got solidarity with the useless fuckwits who sleep in class, don't study, don't try, don't assert themselves? You'll be happy providing them a safety net? You'll be happy when those same useless folks come to you with their hands out asking for more?

....in my version you could keep your straight A's open a business, give those formerly useless people jobs, set standards for those people to reach so that they may improve themselves and provide for their families thereby giving them a since of ownership in their own lives....but nah man, solidarity, so many people have been lifted up by the soft bigotry of low expectations.

You really have a warped view of socialism. My view is as Green beans says it. There is no need to have vast inequality and unfairness where people are going to food banks, children in huge classes and people not having access to health service.

Please invade me. We'll fight with every ounce..and will resort to biting if need be. Or not needed. Why be picky.

Austerity is a stick to beat people with.


Fuck that

What do you propose in its place?

[Master]

Stopping the loop holes in tax avoidance for multi nationals would go a long way to fund schools, hospitals and vulnerable.

Non Dom status gone.

Banks and stock traders need to face imprisonment for destaibilsing the economy.

Parts of the NHS needs to be outsourced to voluntary organisations as a monopoly is not a good thing.

Teachers should be responsible to teach kids and not chase targets.

Police need to merge as there are too many divisions.

Renationalise the services into non profit making organisations who will bid for the work and focus on quality not only profit.

Reminds me of the ol' times when me and Kirk use to debate these things here. This issue of left and right has been muddled just a bit too long by the old cold war rhetoric. Darn, both sides have been stubbornly sticking to their extreme positions but believe me, when all the dust of the cold war has settled down, people will debate this issue in a more objective manner and they will find the right balance where everyone gets what is best for them. That's how it is and how it will be and nobody can stop that. But by the way it's going now, it'll probably take another thousand years or so...
...make it another hundred years...
