The Great Divide and Apathy Towards Politics
#10
RE: The Great Divide and Apathy Towards Politics
How would we know how communism is in practice?  We haven't tried it in living or historical memory..though it did seem to work pretty well for a quarter million years. I imagine that it would get gamed, like any system faced with human beings....but I don't understand the narrative here, on communism. As long as money is an option..sure...communism is bullshit. Kind of like saying that knives are useless in the face of pistols. Nevertheless, all of the shit we love about our money and it;s relationship with government is the communist shit...for the people, owned by the poeple, beholden the people.

We think that public education is swell...for example. We think that not starving the poor is swell, for example. We think that taxes pay for roads right nice...for example. Quietly, "communism" has subverted it;s competitors.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
