How was your May Day comrade?

Greetings fellow comrades and toiling intellectuals, how did you May Day celebrations go? Did your International Workers’ Day celebrations include arson re-decorating, rioting peaceful protest, and looting the redistribution of property like May Day celebrations in Oakland? Did you convince shop owners, businessmen, and neo-Kulaks to stop making so much profit and be more generous to the proletariat? Are you concerned enough about the revolution and devoted to the Party like so many in Seattle? Many of our revolutionary brothers were courageous enough to take the fight to the enemy and pelt officers of the Seattle Police Department with rocks, sticks, and wrenches thus dealing many stinging blows. Are you dedicated comrade?

A valiant Hero of Socialist Labor, a true People's Hero liberating property from the bourgeois elements.

Look at the good work our fellow revolutionaries in Seattle are performing. Surely, many jobs will be created from all the smashed windows and other damaged property.

Typical, unwarranted police oppression against our fellow comrades.

There were also many proles picketing for higher wages and change in a much less deliberate fashion. Many of them were decrying that people working at low-level retail and food-service jobs aren’t earning $15/hr while CEO’s (greedy bastards) are earning much larger sums of money. Other members of the proletariat were protesting against capitalism and making progress in general. The individuals who engaged in such activities are moving in the right direction, but are simply not dedicated enough. Their weak liberalism and soft communism may have to be cured with strong communism. Once the revolution is complete, a purge may be required to find those who are not dedicated enough.

Look, even Jesus demands that a $15/hr minimum wage be instituted!

Minimizing profit generation is a good start, but these comrades are not dedicated enough to the cause.

Over in the Workers’ Paradise of Cuba, Dear Leader President Maduro and the Anointed One President Raul Castro celebrated the Party and revolution. Many thousands of loyal Party members marched in support of President Castro. Indeed, the May Day rally in Havana was a beautiful sight to behold. The head of the Cuban Workers’ Union vowed to oppose all destabilizing actions and any other activities that would violate Constitutional order. Indeed, any reports of sky-rocketing inflation, high default risks, a lack of basic goods, and oppression by the People’s Government in Venezuela are patently false and made up by Western, capitalist pigs.

Just look at these glorious Communist leaders. Raul Castro is looking especially vigorous.

Look at how happy these proles and future soldiers in the People’s Army are!

For those of you living in oppressive, imperialist, and capitalist countries still, don’t get to despondent. The glorious purge revolution will come soon enough. Try not to be too uppity if your family, friends and neighbors aren’t ready to join you in the glorious revolution. For anyone who needs some consolation and advice for those post May Day blues, report to the People’s Cube for re-education. Remember comrades, don’t forget to post any comments you may have. As always, ensure that you don’t commit any thoughcrime or act like a Kulak in need of liquidation.

The Greeks and delusions of WWII reparations

I’ve typed up about the Greeks and their fiscal woes a little bit, but the Greek socialists must be getting really desperate now. The Greek government recently put a price tag on WWII reparations that they are demanding from the German government at 279 billion euros. Since this isn’t the first time countries have demanded a payout from Germany of war, perhaps the Greeks wouldn’t try it again. Besides, one would think that the Greeks would be demanding a payout from the Italians since they’re the ones who decided to attack Greece. Hitler and Germany were perfectly content with leaving the Greeks alone, but Il Duce just had to have Greece. But it’s not like the Italians have any money to pay up, and they would respond with a resounding no just like the Germans did to such an inane request.

If we’re being honest, how many countries in existence don’t have land taken from someone else? What land isn’t occupied land? Should reparations go all the way back to Cain and Abel? Who would get money for the Punic wars? I could bring up numerous wars and list the losers, but plenty of people have done that in the comments section of the Yahoo! News articles. Let’s take a look at some of them:

I mean really, why work to get money? Why spend less? Just make random demands for cash. Here are the specific stories for anyone who’s interested in getting some laughs out of the reparation demands:

Progressives and their undying hatred of the Koch brothers

One of the many things that I’ve read about recently (constantly) on progressive websites is how the Koch brothers are doing things like: buying politicians, donating more money than anyone else, destroying the Earth, push propaganda, and just like doing generally evil things. Like some of the tolerant progressives I’ve talked with you’ll ask for them to be thrown in jail (though they’ve been convicted of nothing) or even demand their painful, agonizing death in a pot of boiling water. Those who seem to disapprove of (or hate) the Koch brothers will use cartoons such as the following:

Kochtopus Koch Brothers aka Kochsucker Koch-Brothers-2

If you’re the folks at the Blue Nation Review, you’ll make the unfounded claim that the Koch brothers have spent the most to pollute our environment. Here’s a sampling of the discussions I’ve had with progressives on Blue Nation Review’s Facebook page:

The beginning…

KDS3

“Hours” of studying and discussion…

KDS2

It’s not the money that matters, just what they believe in…

KDS1

Calling for the brutal execution of the Koch brothers, no less on the same page that’s decrying Utah for going to a quick and painless death by firing squad for convicted murderers.

KDS

Before I post up some pictures with opposing views, let’s take a good look at the claims progressives are making. During the 2014 election cycle, the Koch brothers donated about $14 million. They were not the biggest donors though. The Koch brothers were beat out by Tom Steyer ($74 million) and Michael Bloomberg ($28 million). If we take a look at the top  organizations that donated for the 2014 election, they all went overwhelmingly to the Democratic Party. I think it’s pretty clear that the Democratic Party won out in raising money last election, even though it didn’t help them out much. Any claims that the Koch brothers donated the most are simply unfounded. Even if they were, it’s very clear that plenty of progressives/socialists/communists are donating a lot of cash.

It’s always funny when progressives castigate the Koch brothers for destroying the planet or some silly nonsense. Have all of the progressive environmentalists given up their cars? Even if they don’t use a gasoline/diesel powered car, it’s probably charged by electricity from fossil fuels, uses several toxic elements in battery cells that don’t have high storage capacity/energy density (unless you pay $10,000 extra for hundreds of pounds of extra cells), and don’t last past a few thousand deep cycles . Perhaps they all use dirt roads that use no petroleum products? Forty percent of U.S. electricity is generated by coal, do progressives still use electricity? Almost all plastics are made from petrochemicals, perhaps they aren’t using any of those either? I suppose if that if progressives stop using plastics they couldn’t denounce capitalism on Facebook and Twitter with their IPhones.

If we take a look at Tom Steyer, it becomes apparent that he made money off of the coal industry. He’s also claiming to be an environmentalist now. If you’re a progressive though, you’ll claim that Tom Steyer isn’t a hypocrite because Republicans are criticizing him and that he’s divested from coal. Farallon Capital Management, the hedge fund founded by Tom Steyer, is still involved in coal mining and Steyer is still a passive investor. I suppose that Mr. Steyer was such an environmentalist, he just kept pushing coal projects in Indonesia and Australia until it would make him look like a hypocrite. I guess that as long as Mr. Steyer is giving money, progressives don’t generally care right? Only those evil RethugliKKKans and selfish Losertarians shouldn’t give money. That’s the impression I got from the progressives who commented on the Blue Nation Review Facebook page anyway. Concerning “environmental destruction”, I don’t see how they’re doing anything special.

Below are some pictures opposing what the progressives seem to believe in:

Unions are people, but corporations aren’t?!

koch_brothers_vs_labor_unions_by_blamethe1st-d4a8zfv

But, but progressives also give money. It’s also interesting how the progressive posters and pictures say democracy when republic would be more accurate. I’m just nitpicking I suppose.

If progressives want to continue their hatred and death threats for the Koch brothers, I’ll just sit back and laugh. If nothing else the Facebook conversations with progressives will bring plenty of joy and laughter to my soul. And for all of the idiot middle class socialists, occutards, and other borjouis elements who think that they’re part of the proletariat, I have a good picture for you below. Such individuals may not know much about the NKVD, Stalin’s Purges, the Great Leap Forward, or the Cultural Revolution, but they will suffer the same fate if they get what the revolution they so desire.

More socialist failures, Greece and Venezuela edition!

syriza_3169974b

By now many of you have heard about the Communist government that was elected in Greece and the “promise” to do away with bailout problems. An agreement for a four month extension of debt payments was granted to Greece by the Euro zone and IMF creditors. It’s really amazing that the Greeks were desperate enough to believe that Syriza would be able to fulfil all guarantees made during the election and still keep the welfare state. I don’t believe in the Euro zone but a government that has no money and is asking for massive debts to be forgiven doesn’t really have many options available. Those that voted and believe that Greece can keep its welfare state, keep the Euro, and not pay back any loans could use a reality check.

What do those of you reading this think the odds are of Syriza keeping its promises, avoid a default, or keep the Euro? I personally believe that it’s time for Greeks to give up on the Euro experiment and regain some sovereignty. I suppose that almost thirty years of socialism with the Panhellenic Socialist Party just wasn’t enough for the Greeks.

   The other socialist failure that I’ll mention with this post concerns Venezuela, a country that exports essentially nothing except for oil. Now that those prices have collapsed all of the welfare programs provided by the state, massive expansion of the public sector, price controls, and other factors have caused the Venezuelan economy to enter a tail-spin. The country can’t supply basic goods to its citizens, constitutionally mandated healthcare isn’t provided, the country is near default, and inflation is over 60%. As should be expected, Nicolas Maduro is blaming capitalists, the CIA, and the United States. I suppose that progressives are also OK with the rising oppression of the Venezuelan people, it is being performed by a socialist government after all. If nothing else they will probably not say much about what is happening, unless it’s to blame the Koch brothers or something of that nature. I’ll close this post out with one last picture.

music, socialism

Hours upon hours of Communist music

In this post I’ll have hours upon hours of Communist music to blare out through your speakers. Some of you might be wondering why I’m posting this up? I would say that some of this music is actually of very interesting and quite musical, unlike much of the modern music produced in the U.S. today. Honestly, most national anthems are horrible pieces of music and not worth listening to in of themselves. Understand that not all of what I’m going to post could be considered musically sound. I like the Russian/Soviet songs the best, especially many of the ones like Dyen Pobedy. The Albanian music is also very interesting.

Many of these songs really do have some heart to them and aren’t just shallow attempts at making money. Which ones do you like? These songs are sure to be a hit amongst your progressive friends also. One thing I will add is that many of these governments may not exist anymore, or at least not in the forms envisioned when many of the songs were made. Enjoy comrade!

“Affordable” healthcare and the national debt and deficit

Many democrats/leftists/socialists have claimed that the “Affordable” Care Act, including real winners like Paul Krugman is working well. For anyone who’s not interested in asking a socialist how it’s going look at one of the following links:

Okay, the NY Times might not be the best source for news, but you get my point. If you’re a leftist, you’ll make claims that you support affordable healthcare and that republicans are evil.

The Affordable Care Act, it’s so great that Congress and the President aren’t required to sign up for it! For those of you like me who are racist, xenophobic, bigoted, capitalistic and evil pigs whom tolerant liberals will never be able to educate, here’s some pictures for you, enjoy!

Just think of the Affordable Care Act as a five-year plan.

On Facebook pages such as Being Liberal you’ll see them post up pictures about how leftists are somehow responsible for the drop in the deficit (not debt) in the last few years even as they decried “Austerity“. Aside from the fact that in the last six years eight trillion has been added to the debt, just look at this CBO data that shows how the deficit is about to go back up. For those of you who still believe that leftists/Keynesians have anything to do with spending less, just look at the President’s most recent proposal to spend more money. If you’re a leftist you’ll post photos such as these without looking at the actual amount of cash the deficit is:

For those of you who don’t think that adding eight trillion to the debt or that having a deficit of only $506 billion is a great accomplishment, here’s some photos for you:

Communist victory in Greece

BN-GP483_ngreec_H_20150125163620 Exit Poll Results Are Declared In The Greek General Election

The leftist Syriza party has just won the Greek elections with between 35.5 and 39.5% of the vote. The man who will likely become Greece’s new Prime Minister quipped of the victory “The Greek people have given a clear, indisputable mandate for Greece to leave behind austerity.” Because if anything is worth trying again after years of failure, that would be more socialism. I suppose that when the Panhellenic Socialist Party (PASOK) was in control that they just didn’t do socialism correctly. One way or another, these guys will get it right. It’s funny how the left always says “austerity” whenever someone else says that perhaps the budget should be balanced once in a while. As we all know, living within your means is for losers. Just raise taxes and you’ll get all the money you need right? Just keep promising “free” stuff and the voters will put you in power apparently.

Moving onto the Eurozone as a whole, who wants to take bets on who will leave the E.U. and when? The Germans are certainly preparing themselves for such an event. Anyway, I still think it doesn’t make sense for sovereign countries to share a single currency. In light of events such as the Greek election, why should countries with different desires, ideas, and goals all be forced into some sort of supranational state? The whole Euro project was never a great idea to begin with.

Now remember comrades, the failures of: the former Soviet Union, states of the former Warsaw Pact, Venezuela (lack of basic goods and near default), National Socialist Workers’ Party of Germany, Detroit, Argentina (two defaults in thirteen years), Cuba (but people still tout the literacy rate), North Korea and Zimbabwe (intermittent 1000% interest rates) all mean nothing. Just give socialism another hundred years, maybe it’ll work itself out by then.

The leftist solution for the economy: war, massive debt spending, and aliens

whore tumblr_lwwh6kok9u1r8lk4ao1_500  krugman_sucks

So the videos that I’m posting of Paul Krugman are nothing new, they’ve been around for some years now. But because of the economic message many leftists/socialists continue to spread this warrants some repeating. The first video of Paul Krugman was aired back in August of 2011 on CNN. In the video Krugman argues that since stimulus debt spending isn’t up to his liking that an alien invasion should be staged to make for for a rapid rise in military spending by the Federal government to fix the ailing economy. Because if there’s one thing that the Federal Government’s not doing enough of, it’s deficit spending.  Remember folks, Paul Krugman received the Nobel Peace Prize for Economics in 2008. National debt, never heard of that stupid thing! Raise taxes for the wealthiest to 70% like during the Carter years, or 90% during FDR’s time, awesome solution! That would do nothing whatsoever to hurt business competitiveness or convince the rich, especially leftists to move their wealth away right? Because if there’s anything that helps businesses out, it’s higher operating costs and taxes right? And when the dust has settled, the alien ruse is revealed, and the economy is most certainly in great shape we’ll all be able to say: “Thank you Mr. Krugman, your genius surely knows no bounds. Let me kiss your feet and be generous by giving away even more of what I own”.

Isn’t ironic that people that are supposedly “anti-war”, especially ones that received a Nobel Peace Prize, call for a massive military buildup and war? In any case, enjoy yourself and get a good laugh at the Krugman explanation for fixing the economy. While you’re at it, why not let the whole world know how you feel about Paul Krugman in the poll at the end of this post?

The failure of socialism in Venezuela, continued…

11954742_copia.520.360 frontera.520.360

Venezuela seems to be getting worse and worse, Nicolas Maduro and his socialist government just keep failing. Among many of the recent problems to surface are a lack of doctors to provide state-mandated healthcare. To be fair though, even if the doctors and nurses stayed they wouldn’t have any medical supplies or basic items to treat patients anyway. Constitutionally and government enforced healthcare is a good thing and always means that you’ll be cared for right? The Venezuelan government isn’t even allowing people to pass through the border at night, something about smuggling and a shortage of basic staples. No leaving the country between 10 PM to 5AM for citizens, just stick it out and the 60% inflation rates will go down eventually.

Maybe one day Venezuela will dump socialism and expand their economy and exports past selling oil. Perhaps soon they’ll stop selling gasoline domestically at six cents per gallon. Speaking of prices, what’s a barrel of oil go for now, something under $58 by now. I wonder how much longer Maduro and his group of socialists will blame the U.S. for his problems? Venezuela’s problems started long before the U.S. considered sanctions against Venezuela. I wonder how much lower oil prices will go and how much longer Maduro’s government can take this?

The failure of socialism in Venezuela

Venezuela has been going downhill for a while now. With excessive inflation, an inability to supply basic goods and services, a lack of foreign currency, the looming threat of a default, extreme violence against any who dare question the government, and criminalization of any civilian-owned weapons perhaps it’s only a matter of time before Venezuela collapses. With massive oil reserves Venezuela is now importing oil. I guess socialism isn’t working out so well. I wonder how much longer Maduro will stay in power?
