"Socialist" is just a code word for "I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about, disregard my personhood"

Socialism is going so well in Greece to.
6/16/2011 6:37:04 PM
Socialism was never allowed to flourish in Greece; when an actual labor movement occurred in the 40's, the UK (aided by US military transport) put it down. What you see nowadays is a "socialist party" which is about as socialist as its name, unless you also take names like "Democratic Republic of North Korea" seriously.Then again socialism isn't necessarily about strong central authority or top-down control of economy. There's a plethora of positions that sit toward the libertarian end of the spectrum, which is bottom-up in nature. [Edited on June 16, 2011 at 6:41 PM. Reason : .]

Uh? What?What is this abortion of a thread about. It's a shitty constructed government website that allows you to pick your state from a map and it provides you with links to other websites where people (you and me) actively publish the prices of gas stations.Just can this shit.

No, I want the socialists to have to defend their statements in Chit Chat where all the rubes hang out. I wanna see some fucking links where the Capitalists suppressed the socialists in Greece in the 40s.

What the fuck are you even slobbering about? The intervention in Greece is known to everybody who has taken at the very least 5 minutes to educate themselves about US foreign policy in the 20th century. Look up "ELAS" and do some fucking reading. There's no "argument" to be made here. If you want sources I can dig out some books and pull the references for you. If you want to be a big boy and take responsibility for your *own* ignorance then use google

Bottom line is that by tacitly endorsing price quotes and spotting the supposed best value of the unleaded petrol market based on geography, the taxpayers are paying for web servers to support these stupid websites.The Federal gov't is spending tax payer dollars to provide free advertisement for third party vendors and therefore is, AGAIN, manipulating the market while supporting the same policies that keep gas prices high and create this self-fulfilling prophesy of intervention in the marketplace and high gas prices.WELCOME TO THE AMERICAS.

^^^^^^^^^I have never heard of those books or the intervention in Greece in the '40s, but it does sound suspiciously like when Churchill asked Truman (unsuccessfully) and then Eisenhower (successfully, via John Foster Dulles) to use the CIA to overthrow Mossadeq and re-install the Shah Reza Pahlavi because the democratically-elected government of Iran was about to nationalize the oilfields and rip BP away from the sweet sweet profits of the unfair deals it had made with the Shah's father when he was the Shah.Anyway here's a relevant link: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Greek_Civil_War^^^^^^^indeed, he makes my side look bad

By the way, they absolutely LOVED that movie 300. It was still playing in theatres like six months after it had already left the US theatres. I kind of LoLed and also posed with a lifesize cardboard cutout of Gerard Butler in garb. They LOVED that shit over there. Go figure. Xerxes approaches with his socialist army you know.
6/16/2011 8:32:15 PM
^^^ Yes it's quite similar because, as usual, it's the same old people up to the same old bullshit. The Dulles brothers were extremely effective at pushing their insane "anti-communist" stance, which amounted to attempt at destroying any regime that wasn't blindly pro-US (to the detriment of democracy and local interests).^^ You're going to have to do better than some relationship from my early-to-mid 20's. That was 6 years ago; why do you remember and retain so much about my love life? *I* can barely remember I dated that woman, yet it's something you readily remember about me. Why can't you absorb important facts this way?[Edited on June 16, 2011 at 8:34 PM. Reason : .]

not sure what to say about that, but there are so many incidents of intervention (well over 50) so I can see why your course would have focused on those insteadwhat did it cover? curious
6/16/2011 9:03:30 PM
mostly mid east and central american, covered the israel conflicts a lot it seemed (although that may just be because I wrote my paper on the liberty incident)[Edited on June 16, 2011 at 9:23 PM. Reason : oh shit, and se asia, forgot about that dur]
